Archangel Tyrael Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Take a look at what's new... Players with access to the beta for Bethesda's upcoming Dawnguard expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have scribbled down some details and posted them online. According to the details posted on Official PlayStation Managzine Dawnguard's story focuses on Harkon, a vampire lord trying to use and Elder Scroll to blot out the sun. The DLC adds conversations about vampire hunters to the game, which opens up the option to either join Harkon's vampire uprising or allign yourself with the slayers and kill the sucker. Joining the vampire has some appealing perks such as becoming a flying vampire lord, which functions much like being a werewolf and gets you a power called Vampiric Grip that suspends enemies in the air while draining their health. You can also turn into a cloud of bats. Don't get too excited though, being a vampire will get you attacked on sight, so you'll have to keep switching to your human form. Joining the Dawnguard will net you a few new weapons including the crossbow. These are always primed to fire and can stagger targets, the downside is that they take much longer than the standard bow to reload. You can also hire armored trolls as followers. Finally, a new shout called Soul Tear lets you steal a soul and raise the victim as an undead companion. Not to shabby. Have a look at the complete vampire and werewolf perk trees below. Power of the Grave - 50 point bonus to health, magicka and stamina as a Vampire Lord.

Ro8bi3 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Don't think I'll be getting this. I was waiting for level upgrades, MANY new questlines, bug fixes, new areas, etc. This lacks content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
