First Details of Skyrim: Dawnguard

Bethesdas first major expansion to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is apparently all about vampires. Our first real details about Dawnguard come from the reveal trailer, which shows quite a bit more than the piercing, glowing eyes of the Dovakiin character model Bethesda has been using for marketing. Lets go through the major points.

Fight With or Against Vampires

The trailer shows a vampire castle containing eldritch devices and a pinch-faced, ember-eyed NPC who is very serious about discovering your intentions.

Is it to be one of us? he says, at which point the trailer shows a transformation scene where you morph into a vampiric monster. This seems to indicate that youll have to choice to either quest for this vampire faction (which could very well be the Volkihar Clan), or against it.

The opposition force is the Dawnguard, based in a new castle, who hunt vampires and try to prevent the undead blood hoarders from blotting out the sun with their villainy.

Its not yet clear what kind of effects your decisions will have on the game world, but this is The Elder Scrolls, so it makes sense if you had some choice in the matter. Perhaps if you choose to aid the vampires and wipe out the Dawnguard, vampires will no longer suffer in the sunlight?
