Being a Vampire... Hunting Vampires... : V

I've not tried this before but could it be possible to be a vampire and then hunt them... Can you join the Dawnguard as a vampire...

I don't see why not. I'll be curious to hear how that works out!

Lorewise I don't see why not, vampires are predatory by nature so turning on their own kind would be entirely in character if there was an advantage to be gained by it.

I believe joining the Dawnguard is precluded by being a vampire, not sure about becoming one after recruitment though

Joining is not the problem. Everybody just acts like he don't recognize the player as a vampire.

Spoiler

In the Dawnguard-Line, there is one point where you are tested to be a vampire. You have to cure yourself if the story should go on.

You also get the famous follower Serana. She will offer to turn you into a vampire from one point on.

You can start Dawnguard questiline even if you are a vampire and you can complete the first quest, but if you wanna continue to receive quests from Dawnguard, you'll have to cure yourself.

Pretty much what is already stated.

There are many reasons a vampire may want to take out other vampires. Too many vampires results in too many vampire hunters and angry mobs. In Oblivion, there is a quest where one very prominent vampire (most of you know who, but just in case there is that one guy who doesn't, I won't spoil) tasks you to get rid of a den of vampires in his territory.

And with Dawnguard, you can pretty much go back and forth between being a vampire and a mortal at will. Warning, though ... becoming a vampire will cure being a werewolf, and you can only become a werewolf twice ever.
