Dawnguard (Skyrim DLC)

The dragon-born is back for more with the release of “Skyrim’s” first downloadable expansion giving gamers even more than they already had; “Dawnguard” brings a new story for gamers to follow along with new perks, powers and new transformation the Vampire Lord. While there were already vampires in “Skyrim” these creatures are a cut above the vampires we’ve seen before with amazing powers that can be upgraded through the new skill tree brought to the game for the Vampire Lord, a skill tree will also be brought to those Werewolf players out there. With this DLC also comes a level cap increase, for those players who have reached their level 50 limit, players can continue increasing their abilities to new heights. Add onto the fact that “Dawnguard” offers a massive new quest to be followed, gamers will have their hands full for a while with “Skyrim” action if they have already gone through the main story line and have become a full-fledged dragon-born and adds even more excitement for those who haven’t. 


“Dawnguard” still brings out all that players love or will come to love from “Skyrim” offering even more incredible graphics and design put into the new quest line players can follow, new and incredibly jaw dropping battles come from this new DLC. For the reasonable price of twenty dollars “Dawnguard” offers so much for anyone to enjoy and while the DLC alone doesn’t offer the overall lasting appeal of “Skyrim”, the benefits given through the DLC can continue to enhance your adventuring.

Good:
-Level cap increase
-New transformation class
-Expansive and highly enjoyable new quest

Bad:
-Minor quarks here and there
