I just hope this isn't anything dragon related. We had enough of this things flying around in the main quest. Hell, it was the main plot for Skyrim itself. And if Bethesda is indeed smart, they will continue their appeal to various people. I just don't see this relating to dragons considering there are many people who did not activate dragons in their playthroughs simply by not doing the main quest.

It would unwise, and pretty stupid, for this DLC to be Dragon-born related. People would have to go out of character just to play this thing. Bloodmoon, Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine were all seperated from the main quest. Tribunal was tied to the main story about the Nerevarine, and it was assumed that the player completed the main quest by then. Though it is not revealed until the end that the player is Nerevarine(correct me if I am wrong, but Almalexia says something about the player being the prophezied hero). Even so, the player was not restricted to complete the quests even if they didn't even touch the main quest.

For Skyrim, I can't see this happening without the player having to touch the main quest to try and activate the dragons and whatnot. So to appeal to the people, I guess Bethesda will add a sense of variety.

As for content, I am just as clueless as everyone else. But in the official forums, everyone is pointing towards vampires and the Vigilantes of Stendarr. Dawnguard= Guarding dawn? Durr? I don't know. But crossbows, immortal Snow-Princes, glowing yellow eyes, talk about guarding the dawn which is when the sun comes up and leaked vampire feeding animations that was leaked points to a DLC related on something of that nature. I'm not those Twilight ban-wagon folks which go all lovey dovey on the subject, but I hope Bethesda gives a sense of variety to the players IF the concept of vampirism is involved. Not everyone wants to play as an "evil"(Pfft) character. With the recent influx of complaints about being too many "evil" quests and not enough "good" quests, I think Bethesda might want to try and add something that will appeal to those group of people.

Like the main game, Skyrim was revolved around dragons. Yet they added other things to do which did not involve those overgrown flying beasts. The same could be said of Dawnguard. But I see branching storylines, where the player is given a choice to join either force in the conflict. Same way the players had to choose between Hircine or the Skaal. Or choose between the Stormcloaks and the Empire or choose to help out the Blades or kill Paarthurnax(spell?). One recent rumor was that Lamae Beolfag is awakened and she has her own creations go into a frenzy and fight each other, while at the same time the Vigilantes of Stendarr join in and plans to eradicate both blood-sucking groups by helping out the player with whatever plot. Hence the crossbow and the new picture of Dovahkiin with the arrows on his back. But who knows? Anything is speculation at best.
