Skyrim: What Dawnguard SHOULD Have Been, Mods to Overhaul Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Skyrim Dawnguard DLC remains one of my favorite expansion packs ever. Release well over half a decade ago, The Elder Scrolls 5’s Dawnguard quest thrusted Skyrim into the center of an amazing jockey for power between the ancient Volkihar vampire clan, and a noble guild of vampire hunters, known as the Dawnguard. However, over the past seven years Skyrim’s modding community has been hard at work, producing various mods that overhaul both small bits and large elements of the Dawnguard expansion and transforming it into something truly timeless. So today we’ll be taking a look at a few of the greatest mods currently available for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC.
So excited to grab a bottle of mead, kick back, relax, and enjoy this video! I love Dawnguard, but I think there was a lot of potential missed. Great stuff as always, Nate!
You think like me!
You think well no pun intended
Indeed, it is baffling how many opportunities were missed. Thinking back, I like Dawnguard, but man how underworked was it considered the capabilities of bethesda's development team.

Shh no spoilers
This is how vampire attacks usually go for me:
I fast travel to a city, then, just before loading screen ends, 7 characters yell "NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE" as some vampires spawn together with me. Then I try to help kill the vampires but accidentally hit one person, so a guard tries to arrest me while a vampire is using the succ spell on me, giving me aids.
I once reloaded around five times just to keep Adrianne from being killed by a vampire in broad daylight.
Yeah same and it got so annoying, especially a Master Vaampire or higher one will wreck everyone around. I also use combat overhaul mods and those vampires are so OP.
Atleast the next attack will be less threatening *as a vampire* now.

mods can now take care of those problems :)
@@MrSherhi Is there a mod that change the way enemies spawn? It's so annoying that the world is alive only when you are around it. I use Immersive Citizens and I love it because NPCs do their own thing and I don't have to be around to trigger that, wish there was that for enemies to spawn in a wider area from PC or some pause after fast-travel. It's also stupid that you have 4 or 5 guards at the front gates but vampire still spawns behind it ;_______;

*Dawnguard in Blue Palace*
*Sybeline* "Well, this is awkward."
i thought the same thing lol. was looking at comments to see if anyone would talk about that
Maybe it'd play out like "Yeah, we know she's a vampire, and yes, she knows that we know. More so, we are aware that the Jarl is also aware of these facts. But we kill the bloodsucker and the city becomes weak, turns out the vampire is calling the shots around here. Thing is, she runs a tight ship". Even the Dawnguard wouldn't go as far as destabilizing an entire functioning Hold just for the sake of vampire-slaying I guess.
Let's be fair - before you come along? Yeah, the Dawnguard aren't portrayed as being PARTICULARLY bright :P I mean, you wanna talk about a series of boners...
Granted, not up to the Blade's level of rampant ass-fucking stupidity - but still - hardly a brain trust.
I suspect those guards have been spending a leeeeeettle too much time in the Meade house :P

Sybille Stentor: "..."
I was modestly disappointed when I found out there's no unique dialog with her if you're also a vampire
I personally think sebille stentor is a sunlight vampire.
I forgot the original name, but these vampires can roam around the game without difficulty during the day or the night, as far as I'm aware they are susceptible to fire and silver weaponry as well as water.
And man it is awfully funny when you are outside and it starts to rain and the rain hurt you.
But this vampire is essentially stronger than most vampires and and you will often find them in places of high stature within the world.
This is why I believe that sebille stentor is one of these types of vampires.
Always enjoy these. Makes me feel like I’m not the ONLY Skyrim nerd left
Definitely not. They're all over the place, you just have to know where to look. :-D

Can we get a version of this for the Dragonborn and Hearthfire DLCs, if you haven't already done it?

@@youngbull8537 which one?
Can you give the link?
@@ARQP000 its literally called what hearthfire could have been
@@youngbull8537 I've checked it. It was surprisingly too out of place though. Among the 5 featured mods, only 1 of them can be categorized as a hearthfire mod.
"You'd expect the base to be more populated and lively."
No, actually I wouldn't. Including the ramshackle inside, I'd say bare bones is probably how it should look given the short time it's been back in operation
Considering the last time the Courtyard is used is basically the myrethic era, it’s a wonder it isn’t fully collapsed.
That's actually quite a good point. Nice thinking. (Still though, you have to admit. The mods are great!)

@@asrieldreemurr4338 Yes
Yeah I should have been in it :(
LORD CRUSADER!
OMG HE'S HERE!
Marriable Serana and Hybrid.
Done.
I would rather be one of the races than a hybrid. Marriable Serana is good.
I don't know about being able to marry Serana. I think she says at some point how she's uneasy with Chapels. Even if you cured her Vampirism by siding with the Dawnguard, she probably wouldn't want to step inside one.
I'd have her simply acknowledge your feelings and reciprocate them provided you picked the right dialog options during the main quest. Then if you sleep while you have her as a Follower, you'll get the Lover's Comfort resting bonus. But none of the other benefits from marriage. I just can't see Serana staying at home cooking and running a store for you.
@@jonathanprince707 As far as I can tell, one don't need to be in a Chapel (or any religious building for that matter) to get married. IRL anyway. Can only assume that the same can be said to Skyrim & The Elder Scrolls franchise in general.
@@abd-qadirgilani8871 pretty sure in terms of lore, you marry in mara temple to get some kind of blessing for your marriage and if you dont mara is like yeah fuck those two
@@andrejzizenstock9067 Mara doesn't sound like the type to snub a pair of lovers just because they didn't get hitched in her Temple.
All I'm saying is Serana just wouldn't be comfortable walking into a Chapel.
If I could write a mod to marry Serana, it would just be some extra dialog at the end if you approach her while wearing the Amulet of Mara. You can ask her to marry, she would say yes, but she doesn't like churches and Molag Bal doesn't really go for the whole matrimony thing.
But she does admit she feels the same for you, and the both of you just decide to skip the ceremony. For all intents and purposes, you're married. And you don't need the Mara or a Daedra Lord to tell you otherwise.
Hell you could even say Mara is so moved by your love, she gives you the Lover's Comfort resting bonus anyway.

Khajiit vampires should have a 20% chance to wake up a target with their cold, wet noses. Because that's what my cats like to do to me.
8:50 "Honestly, it's amazing to me something like this wasn't included in the base game itself!"
I find myself saying this constantly while playing the game; there are so many NPC's and lines of dialogue that clearly were intended to be part of a quest, but never made it into the game due to the production being rushed in order to meet the 11/11/11 release date.
Right you are, but I would also believe that their main reason had more to do with money and time restraints, like most Studios.
It's too bad, because I just learned about Star Citizen and how screwed up the developer is for that game kept getting more and more donations from the community and claimed to have a deadline but kept that deadline moving forward, and then eventually she decided to pretty much give up on finishing the game.
Then he decided to use the vast majority of the funds that he was given in order to create the game enter purchasing several mansions for himself and Yachts and all kinds of goodies.
320 million dollars wasted by all the people who donated throughout the past decade for a game that will never be released all because of a greedy developer decided to give up ah never finishing the game.
I didn't find out about this news when it broke out, I just found out a few days ago.
And at this point I honestly don't blame people for pulling out their support and demanding their money back.
That developer should be sued into the stone age's.
And it's a real shame too, because the game had real promise and it looked amazing.
I guess the developer just figured they could get away with it forever.
For any wondering, the creator of Sacrosanct has a new Vampire mod that is a little less bloated/complex called Sacrilege and they are still updating it. They also have a Werewolf mod called Growl that makes being a werewolf more complex as well.
Dawnguard should had a stronger connection to “a god” or Adria? (Sorry half asleep right now) Since the vampires basically had the same in reverse.
Well most were ex-vigilants of stendarr so...

Dawnguard is my favourite DLC of any video game ever. BUT, I swear to god everytime the vampires attack whiterun it's when I'm over-encumbered after a long trip of adventuring. I get a front row seat as they murder Adriana to death while I slowly walk over to help. Hate that about the DLC, wish they would just attack the front gate instead.
Lol. Just drop all your shit and help out, nobody's going to touch your stuff without asking you first.
I'm still laughing at this image though.
I've been watching you for years, I just got back into skyrim. I found your channel again and i've been addicted to watching you again, Such is the life of a elder scrolls player.
Nate can you please keep making these mod related skyrim videos? I love your unique style of showcasing HELPFUL and USEFUL mods with your traditional and humorous video style. It works great and I am really enjoying!!!

I must say thanks to your videos i rediscovered skyrim again and now i try to find some of the stuff your talking about
I'd also recommend the Volkihar Vampire Knight armor set. It looks absolutely badass.
Loved your suggestions, I went back and downloaded 3 different mods based upon your suggestions. Thank you greatly!
I want to see more mods like this for the entire game and all factions

Keep doing what you do Nate, been a subscriber for a long time much love from Belize
I really need to make a personal "Skyrim mods" playlist for your videos, because most of the mods you are showcasing are simply amazing.
You never stop amazing us with your content Nate!👍
The dawnguard aesthetics really makes me wanting a vampire hunter game in a medieval fantasy setting
I prefer the better vampires mod since you can turn off people attacking you if you go too long without feeding and you can turn anyone you bite into a vampire that will instantly be loyal to you(except for the guards). Also it adds vampire hunting groups that attack at random intervals and are much stronger than just regular Dawnguard troops along with an option to take damage while in the sun and to be able to regenerate health and magic when standing in the shade. You can also make it so that you turn into a pile of ash when you die instead of just rag-dolling like normal.
I recently got into mods because of your videos and it’s like a whole new game! I especially love cutting room floor- it’s so awesome to be able to put together the pieces of the puzzles the game creators never finished. Can’t wait to try these out!
Sacrosanct would definitely want me to play as a vampire. Vanilla's system turns me off.
Z yku can also use “better vampires” I personally like that one better since I feel you can customize your experience more
@@richardespinoza9989 I second what this person said. I used to use sacrosanct before, but better vampires is way more customizable, and I haven't noticed it lacking anything sacrosanct has.
Thanks.
@@drfreakenstein2912 It doesn't come with a vamp lord tree. It also makes you op with the speed boosts.
One mod I got on Xbox One is Seranaholic (V1.7) Serana Replacer, she is really beautiful. Her eyes are red like other vampires (they turn blue if you cure her). Works great with the Seraphim body replacer
who protects the sun?
Dawn-guard ik its bad lul
Well done you literally just said the meaning of the Dawnguard's name. Great job
Good question 😉

Hey Nate its Gaige, I just wanted to let you know that your videos bring me stress relief from my day and it just helps me a lot. I don't know what it is, but sitting down and watch a video just.. just takes time from my day and makes me realize that I'm human yet and I have problems as we all do, but Nate yes thank you for your videos!!!! Keep it up man, we all love you!!!!!! To the Throat of the World and back!!!
I hope you do a similar mod revolving around the Dragonborn DLC! I love the Skaal and I'm sure there's mods that I'm unaware of that'd make the DLC and main quest alot better than it actually is!
“On the brink of 2020.” If only the poor fool knee what that would come to truly mean.
"Honestly its amazing to me that something like this wasn't included in the base game.". You know this is Bethesda you're talking about right?
Suggestion for 10 tiny details about Skyrim:
On the island of Raven Rock is a Nord NPC named Glover Mallory, who is the brother of Delvin Mallory in The Thieves Guild. If the player is a member of the Thieves Guild, Glover will give you a quest to recover a recipe for improved bonemold armor. Once you complete the quest, Glover will reward you with a key for a room in his house filled with rewards such as gems, gold and lockpicks. One of the rewards is a unique set and of armor called Blackguard (pronounced blaggard) armor. What’s your interesting about this is that the Blackguards are a mercenary group in Black Marsh, which act the main enemy faction in The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire DLC. Considering that Glover was once a member of a seedy group like the Thieves Guild, and he that he also mentions that he ran far away to other places in Tamriel before settling in Solstheim, it’s entirely possible that he was once a member of the Blackguards, himself.
Missed a chance making the dawnguard daggers into wooden stakes smdh
I cant remember but i used to love this older mod that after you completed the vampire side of the story it rebuilt the castle and added another part to the story, something about proving that your worthy to lead the vampires or something, I sadly forgot what the name of the mod was called but I will always remember.
Here is a theory:
Nate our man is acctually an ai from bethesda that escaped from fallout. How do i know that? Well... Todd always told us that the ai was gonna super good and maybe nate is that ai but from what npc? Well as his name indicates his name is Nate and your husband in Fallout 4 is also named Nate maybe our boi here escaped from Fallout 4 because he is to advanced for the game after escaping without knowking what to do he started doing videos about the only thing he knew about Bethesda
But hey thats just a theory a Game theory
I would actually like to see a video about sacrosanct.Love your videos by the way very informative about Skyrim, a game that I truly enjoy.
Eddy the monstrum I did a vampire playthrough with the mod and its pretty cool and fun in the beginning but halfway through you get so OP it just doesnt feel fun at all.

I can't remember when I discovered your videos, but thanks to you I'm exploring Skyrim to find the easter eggs, the references, the items and all the stuff you talk about, as I write this comment, I'm installing some mods to further enchance my Dawnguard experience.
Thanks you a million times for your videos.
The dawn guard one of my favorite DLC’s
It really is great. I ended up wearing the DG armour most of the time in my game because I felt a stronger connection to that faction than any other. Also it looked sweet.
Love the armor for a female character I think it fits best because it doesn’t look too bulky
Nice to hear someone give Sacrosanct the praise it deserves. I'm a paladin spellsword guy myself, but after just reading the sacrosanct mod page I clearly see that this mod is *HUGE* gamechanger. it now becomes boring to not be a vampire! combine that with (in my opinion) the best story-driven gameplay Skyrim has to offer (Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood) and you can see how Sacrosanct really makes it easy to choose a stealth/assassin or straight up nightblade build. And this is why I don't know what build to choose this time haha
Hey you know who, it's guys here
A lovely video filled with overhauls. Next one should other overhauls, like Collage of Winterhold and magic system or Companions and fighting system, you get the idea. Have fun making them as much as I have watching them.
Fun Fact: In the Creation Kit, anything and everything related to Dawnguard has the prefix DLC1 (or DLC01) on its editor id and Dragonborn has DLC2 (or DLC02). But Hearthfire was the second DLC, not Dragonborn.
Well, Hearthfire has the prefix BYOH (presumably Build Your Own Home), indicating it was never regarded as a proper DLC by Bethesda, but it was still sold as one.
Vampire Thirst is a more basic version of Sacrosanct that is based on Vampire The Masquerade, like Sacrosanct you gain point by feeding and doing vampire stuff, but at contrary of Sacrosanct not feeding not make you weaker, but make you a wild beast that would attack anyone that come close to you.
i don't know who it is 0:00
My first playthrough was Imperial and I became a vampire through Dawnguard. I've tried being Stormcloak on another one and it felt like a betrayal. I couldn't imagine ever being a Dawnguard either.
@SAW Gunner nah, while I do agree that Skyrim is better off without the Empire and its debts, now isn't the time for that, all of Tamerial needs to come together to fight the Thalmor, a splintered Empire is what the Thalmor want, after they been dealt with, I honestly could care less about what happens in Cyrodil, Morrowind is better off without them
Long live the "Game of the Year" editions with all DLCs included XD
Dawnguard: gets pretty weapons
Vampires: pretty new vampires
NOOOOO!!! I just cleaned my MO2 mod list!1 here i go installing more stuff again
your videos are always such eye candies.
You keep saying how major the dawnguard are.
Aren’t they, like, three people when you first join them?
Well it makes sense when you first arrive at Fort Dawnguard. Isran's still trying to just get the Dawnguard project off the ground, and he has to do it basically alone. It's just him, the Orc guy, and some other dude. That's why the Player has to go out and recruit NPCs for him.
The dawn guard has a full history of lore too. They aren't a new group they just have to rebuild it.
@@jonathanprince707Yet you dont and some how still get attacked by 3 of them every 2 days
@@mariejuana2993 Ah but that's the beauty of the DLC. Think about it. If you didn't, then who did? After defeating Harkon, you eventually get the quest to Destroy the Dawnguard. When you attack the Fort, you find the NPCs you would have normally recruited had you sided with Isran. Even the crazy priest of Arkay who was trapped in a dungeon by some crazy witch is there. If you didn't save him, who did?
I'm going to guess without you there Isran had to rely on that farmboy. And that is one of the things I love about Dawnguard. You as the player, aren't needed.
Normally you have to do EVERYTHING for these stupid NPCs or nothing ever gets done. Isran was totally able to rebuild the Dawnguard without you. He didn't need you to hold his hand, wipe his nose, fetch him 20 rat spleens, or anything.
I'd give him a pat on the head, a plate of chicken tendies, and 10 Good Boy points for just being able to do that all on his own...right before I slice his throat...and take his tendies...because fuck Isran.
@@jonathanprince707 😂😂 Yeah thats true aswell. I agree with you, I like the fact that us as the player arent entirely needed, besides the Dragonborn quests because there is ofc one Dragonborn at a time (?). Other than that, you are perfectly correct, who's to say there isn't another NPC running around helping other NPC's, or thieving for the Guild (as we have seen plenty times in Riften marketplace), or assasinating important people (as we see new recruits in the Dawnstar Sanctuary).
I haven't gotten the quest to destroy the Dawnguard yet though :( I didnt follow through properly. I have a habit of collecting as many quests as I can before I start (or finish) any of them xd ;_;
As a human you don't need to eat at all from the beggining to the end, BUT as soon you turn into a vampire you need to start feeding with this Sacrosanct mod. For me that is an uneccessary mechanic, If I could just download the mod and it offered me another system of progression that would be sweet. I simply don't enjoy feeling like my character's strenghts and weaknesses depend mainly on how many people I drained, it seems like a responsability, I don't play games to have responsabilities
You can't expect Bethesda, with their "good enough" mentality in making games, to actually put the effort that these modders have done.
Sir Smite it's the save with 99.9% of products sold. And we can't afford the other 0.1%. Lol.
They built the entire game??
You really think adding some swords and bells is more effort than what Bethesda went through to actually make the entire fucking game? Just compare the file sizes of the mods to the actual game.
@@AstralElephantFuzz No, I'm making the argument of quality vs quantity. Nowhere did I say that these small mods are better than the *entire* game. I'm not saying that this so-and-so sword mod has more effort than the whole game. What I am saying is that this so-and-so sword mod had more effort and care put into than a comparable sword within the game...
This applies to a lot of things in Skyrim. Armor mods, weapon mods, quests, city mods, etc. Looking into the actual mechanics that makes Skyrim, you can see how bare-bones a lot of things are.
@@SirSmite yes but firstly, this particular mod has been released now and Skyrim was released in 2011 ... secondly if you design a few features, it is more probable that you can maintain and plan intricate details about them but if a make a whole huge ass game it is not possible to plan every single intricate detail in the same way ...further the person who designed the mod builded up on a design that already existed while the developers of Skyrim built every single feature from scratch, they started from zero and built one of the best games of all time so there is no real comparison here in any terms or aspects
I like this topic and format, Nate. Planning to do more that are similar? I'd suggest some, but you probably already have a list as long as your arm.
Well shit Nate, I actually just got around to finishing Dawnguard after all these years. I literally finished the main quest 20 minutes ago. Oh well, there we go again.
Dawnguard is aewesome.
Lydia is still bae. She's my first wife and she's my last.
Your loyalty is noted.
Yeah, but she still calls me her Thane all the time and it just feels weird.
your all noobs serana is best bae
Stevie Ginalick I agree.
I'm not saying I agree. Just respect the loyalty.
I always thought it would be cool to have a mod wherein after the Vigil of stendarr was attacked, vigilants would join the ranks of the dawn guard and hang around the castle
And maybe gain a vigilant companion that had a cool backstory :D
hey hope you’re doing great today and you’re a beautiful person
I always figured Fort Dawnguard was less populated and refurbished in order to stay under the radar of the vampires, as Isran said he wanted to. I can’t imagine having what’s essentially a small town would be easy to hide. That said, I’ve played the story enough to have my immersion sated for some time. I’m downloading the second mod ASAP.
Huh, never knew Voldermort would be hosting an episode.
Love it
Castle Volkihar redux for the win! They give you a dope playable piano organ!
I'm more than enough to keep you safe from Vampires
