A new quest was immediately placed in our queue to go visit the fort and speak with a man named Isran the head vampire hunter. Our body was, indeed, not ready.Ī group of guards walked by our scaly Argonian and we overheard them talking about Fort Dawnguard. We really had no idea what was about to happen. We created our male Argonian, named him Mookey and were on our way.įour to five hours later we were level 10 and ready to jump head first in to the vampire infested world of Dawnguard. My girlfriend and I sat down and watched that familiar scene play out where your restrained character is carted off for the chopping block before all hell breaks loose. I did a little research online to see when the “best” time to start the Dawnguard DLC would be, and the most common response was level 10. What better time to finally dive in to something I couldn’t wait to purchase a year ago and never touched, right? It’s July of 2013 and summer is usually a dead season for gaming. As any well thought out plan goes, I didn’t even start playing my 360 version of Skyrim again until almost a year later. I eventually gave up on waiting and bought Skyrim for a second time on the Xbox 360, and immediately picked up Dawnguard on Xbox Live. Months went by and still, nothing.īethesda ran in to some coding issues where they just couldn’t get Dawnguard to function properly (much like the PS3 version of Skyrim, for some folks) and there was no ETA on when or if we would get to enjoy it at all. After that month was over, we Playstation 3 sewer dwellers were still left without the DLC on the Playstation Store. When DLC was finally announced, I couldn’t wait to sink more money in to Dawnguard, but that was going to have to wait.ĭawnguard released as a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360 with a one-month exclusivity clause. I invested around 200 hours in to the PS3 version and even went as far as awarding Skyrim Cheap Boss Attack’s Game of the Year for 2011. Playing Dawnguard for the first time was a bittersweet experience, as I originally played (and reviewed) the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim. Played For: ~25 hours to finish the new content.
