Dawnguard was the first DLC for Skyrim and it released mid 2012.
The Dawnguard are a group of vampire hunters who have enquired about you joining them. You're actually given a choice whether to side with Dawnguard or vampires. Choosing Dawnguard will give you an awesome crossbow, or joining the vampires will turn you into a vampire lord and grant you some cool powers.
Being a vampire lord allows you to transform into a gargoyle like beast. You can hover over the ground and drain life from your foes. It's pretty cool.
There's plenty of main quests and side quests. It's a good story were you're given the choice of who to side with. You're also granted a new follower, who is by far my favourite, Serana. Serana is a vampire and daughter of vampire master, Lord Harkon.
Each side has their own perks and abilities. The main quests have you often running around dungeons and being attacked by gargoyles. The Dawnguard base and Vampire base are pretty cool to explore and there's lots of characters to engage with. If you choose to be a vampire there are special perks you can unlock by feeding on corpses.
This is the strongest DLC in Skyrim for me. The fact you're given a choose of who to side with. It's a little overpriced but worth playing. Personally, I chose to side with Dawnguard, you get to keep Serana as a follower too!
3.7/5
