I thought it would be awesome to be a vampire lord but i m not a fan of the powers it gives you plus the whole weakness to the sun was a major negative.
Dawnguard vampire attacks if siding with vampires.
An old post i know but joining the volkihar vampires tends to change the attacks from vampires into dawnguard attacks.
After i was done with dawnguard i just got rid of it becaus it was such a pain to deal with.
But the limitations of the dawnguard meshes and the lack of voice actors scripting quest making the passing of my brother in 2016 and life in general kinda sunk those plans.
Yeah i wasn t too happy with my choice to join the vampires.
I see the choice to join the vampires as a for the greater good option gameplay wise since by joining the dawnguard you re really putting npcs even more at risk.
Thing is some are saying that should you choose to do a radiant quest from either side having completed the main quest it ll restart the vampire attacks again.
From there you could expand the dawnguard into a veritable army which you d actually see out in the world fighting vampires like you see the imperial vs stormcloak spawns.
When choosing at dawnguard choose joining volikahr vampires this will make it easier for town attack encounter.
The dawnguard will only target you and npcs will help you.
When choosing dawnguard it will slightly lower your town attack encounters traveling alot from hearthfires home has higher chance to prevent town attacks instant traveling between hold increases town attacks chance.
Serana can make you a vampire lord and can create blood cursed arrows post quest line regardless of the side you choose harkon s sword and royal armor be obtained by both sides the only items you give up if you choose dawnguard are the vampire lord rings and amulets if you join the vampires you give up the dawnguard relic weapons the.
Plus at the end of the questline you still have serana to make you a.
The only benefit i see with siding with the dawnguard is not getting pestered by dawnguard soldiers for what feels like everytime i use fast travel.
Sure vampires might come to kill me but they are easier to manage plus it feels like the vampires don t appear as frequent.
The dawnguard s artifacts are even more effective against vampires and undead than the normal dawnguard equipment and one are also more effective against normal enemies.
Also do crossbows use the archery skill.
The random vampire attacks will cease once the dawnguard dlc s main quest line has been completed no matter which side you took.
Don t fast travel to a city always ft to somewhere outside the city example.

I ve heard that siding with the vampires gets you the vampire lord and a home but what do you get by siding with the dawnguard.
