News!!!...

Finally...

Sooo, that puts the writing on hold...Again... ...

We watched one of them Youtube videos the other day and the bloke was playing on the x-box...He seemed to have one of those "Extra Content" menus open when he started Dragonborn up...

Is it possible that you could buy Dawnguard and have it only affect your game if you choose to activate it?...Or is that not how it works?...

I only ask because that's how the Download menu on Gran Turismo 5 works...We got a pile of stuff off the Network and it only applied to the boy's game when we went to the Download menu thingie...

The daughter's pretty desperate to play Dawnguard but we're saying no because of the game changing (Possibly breaking - no Ghost Towns please...) things it does...

On the PC yes. It is as simple as checking or unchecking the plugin from the Data Files list. On the X-Box or PS3, I have no idea.

We can uninstall Dawnguard or any of the DLC, and I did uninstall Dragonborn from LHM's game (for unrelated reasons) but I also have not been to Solstheim yet, so this did not seem to affect anything. I have no idea what would happen if I were to uninstall DG from his game now that DG has already been started, and is well under way. I'm betting something would get massively screwed up in the long run!

I agree with you Grits, if there were a choice I'd rather have a vampire who gets hated at Stage 4 (or whatever the old system was) then greeted like any ordinary citizen. I like this sort of edgyness, as you may know! ... On the topic of vampire attacks I have mixed feelings...

Pros: they introduce some some spontaneity into villages that (after awhile) start feeling a bit static and stale. Vamp attacks are exciting, and if my char. happens to witness one in the making, it's a good way for me to get my pulse running. I like trying to DO something about it. That's one of the main reasons I like Elder Scrolls: occasional adrenaline rushes that happen when I'm sometimes not expecting them.

Cons: my favorite NPC might get killed in the action. I especially don't like it if I can't do anything about this, too. My char. will wake up, go for a stroll, and find the Redguard who runs the smith in White run dead. I happen to like some of the NPCs, even if they are rather staid after awhile.

I don't really have a problem with the 'suicide mission' aspect you've mentioned. Yeah, they're not 100% realistic, but neither are people who greet you with exactly the same line day in and day out (I work for Belethor, at the general goods store....). One of the coolest things about Oblivion are NPCs like City Swimmer, who just flip out in the middle of the village square! .... But after City Swimmer (and a couple other NPCs) are dead, there aren't really any moments of spontaneity. This is what I like about the vampire attacks.

Thank you. *sits down*

Adrienne? She is an Imperial. A lot of people mistake her for a Redguard though.
