So with all the DLC out, which one do you think is the best?

I don't think the comparison is viable. Dragonborn is bigger. Both are good, but I of course enjoyed Dragonborn more. There's just more of it, and Nordic Carved trumps Dawnguard armor by a mile, although the helmet goes well with Nordic carved. I think vamp fans will likely say Dawnguard though.

Also, Frea>Serana.

edit: Normally the size doesn't mean anything, but both have fun quests. Dragonborn has more and they're more interesting.

Dragonborn, Firstly for the dark depressive atmosphere the ashlands created, and secondly for nostalgia :)

Dragonborn by far. I didnt enjoy dawnguard as much as i did enjoy dragonborn, maybe because i wasnt in a good mood back then. who knows. but i was never into vampires anyway, and DB was bigger, i loved the island. Oh and Teldryn Sero and Neloth FTW.

well to break it down:


Dawnguard just offered new locations in Skyrim, two factions with not so stand out equipment and two unique features for those factions

the vampire faction: vampire companions, gargoyles, death hounds, a new player house, the Vampire Lord transformation, and lastly new spells

the Dawnguard faction: vanilla companions and armor, crossbow, armor trolls, new spells and a player house


Both factions offer us endless quests to boost XP and gain equipment and coin even though the other factions offer the same promise: "keep doing jobs and you'll get paid in gold, XP, and equipment"

so in the end Dawnguard doesn't really offer us the vampire hunting, human killing experience that we all wanted it's still fun but nothing much value comes out of that particular DLC

Dawnguard: 7/10


Now Dragonborn that DLC gives us a whole new location to travel and explore, new equipment, player housing, companions, ingredients, new shouts, new quests, dragon riding (even though it's not what WE expected), the nostalgia of just returning to that location since Bloodmoon and lastly new enemies to face....basically a whole lot of NEW in this DLC


while the DLC ending was anti-climatic, and while this DLC didn't offer us somethings that we were hoping that it was going to be included in Dragonborn in the end this DLC was just freaking awesome to play over and over again


Dragonborn: 9/10

I voted equal because DG is the first and only Vampire thing that I like and DB adds an island.

Why no Hearthfire vote. HF is my favourite because I love to roleplay and make sweetrolls.

Dawngaurd Heavy Armor is My favorite Vanilla Armor, but Dragonborn has Morrowind Nostalgia, and does not deplete the NPC Population when it becomes active.

I prefer Dawnguard. It has a million times better story, and longer too. Interesting characters and it had much more Elven or racially neutral vibes to it which was a refreshing change for an Altmer player like myself.

I don't like Dragonborn's super dark and monotonous environment. Not that I dislike DB as a whole of course, I do enjoy playing it.

Why no HF vote? IT IS A DLC!

It's smaller than the others, but still a DLC addon. and my favourite.

Out of DG and DB, I liked DB the most. Dawnguard is not a bad DLC, I just enjoyed the other two more. All 3 are interesting and fun. I like a lot of the lore and stuff introduced in them. particularly the truth about the Snow Elves
