<p>DLC for the RPG adventure is on the way in the form of the first DLC pack, <em>Dawnguard</em>, which had a <a href="https://bagogames.com/elder-scrolls-skyrim-dawnguard-dlc-e3-trailer/">reveal trailer</a> released very recently. It&#8217;s looking to be &#8216;packed&#8217; indeed and will set you 360 users back a cool 1600MS points when it comes out this summer. For PS3 and PC owners itching to play this, you&#8217;ll unfortunately have to wait a few months for its release via those platforms. Bummer. Patience is a virtue though, right?</p>
<p>In the meantime, feast your eyes upon these new details which have been unearthed. The story revolves around a vampire by the name of Harkon who must be stopped by the Dawnguard before he uses the power of the Elder Scrolls.</p>
<p>Players will be allowed to choose which team they&#8217;ll side with. You can either become a noble and brave member of the Dawnguard, or a fearsome, non-sparkly vampire. Choosing to become a part of the elite Dawnguard will grant you access to Fort Dawnguard and a cross-bow as well as more vampire-slaying goodies. Those who side with the blood-sucking vampires will be able to access Castle Volkihar and receive all sorts of power boosts and potions. You&#8217;ll also be able to gain the transformation of the Vampire Lord which will carry with it its own skill tree to allow players to develop upon powers along the way.</p>
<p>For all you werewolves from the <em>Skyrim</em> title however, there will be a new skill tree available to allow you to upgrade powers too. Obtaining new skills will have to be done in the forms previously mentioned.</p>
<p>New locations, dragons and dragon shouts will packed into the DLC. Here&#8217;s a rundown of the info, as seen on Gamekicker:</p>
<p>&#8211; Two factions: the vampires and the vampire hunters—the Dawnguard. You can join either.</p>
<p>&#8211; New homes: Castle Volkihar or Fort Dawnguard.</p>
<p>&#8211; New powers and items: Joining the Dawnguard gives you crossbows, weapons and armor, while joining the vampires gets you blood potions and new vampiric powers.</p>
<p>&#8211; New skill tree: Vampire Lord.</p>
<p>&#8211; You can only choose to be a vampire or a werewolf. You can&#8217;t be both.</p>
<p>&#8211; Vampire and werewolf skill trees can be leveled up while in those forms to unlock new skills. It is separate from leveling up regularly.</p>
<p>&#8211; New enemies to fight, including legendary dragons.</p>
<p>&#8211; New locations, including Oblivion.</p>
<p>&#8211; Archery skills are applicable for use with crossbows.</p>
<p>&#8211; A new character in the Ratway allows you to have a makeover of your face.</p>
<p>&#8211; Dawnguard is designed for characters past level 10.</p>
<p>&#8211; New Dragon shouts that can only be found in Dawnguard.</p>
<p>I wonder if any new arrow memes will spawn from this DLC&#8230;</p>
