Making a separate piece for this dlc because I think it's interesting enough to talk about, a big issue for me in skyrim is I felt a lack of characters its way too dragonborn focused for my liking of what I enjoy in a games writing, but serana is a very fun character who goes through an actual character arc, she's not the greatest character of all time but she adds life into an otherwise kind of drab game character wise, I do enjoy the personalities of the dawnguard as well and the dlc does take you to fun and unique locations, despite it still being on the Skyrim world map.

antagonists plan is stupid and while its cool you can join him it feels like a fake option compared to the dawn guard also being a vampire in any elder scroll game kind of sucks no matter what but hey more gameplay features.

I do like how your choices do determine whether serana cures herself of vampirism or not, even though I chose not to so I can have vampire werewolf combo, I can easily see why a player would, and more choices that actually mean things in these games would be nice.

but a 10/10 for another wood elf companion that i wont use because serana basically the best character.
