What? All the vampires at the castle give me new dialogue after defeating Harkon. " I live to serve" when being addressed by Vingalmo for example.

"I am at your service. As always."

*melts*

Name me a guild that starts to respect you after you become their leader? they all still have the same dialogue they had when you first joined. 1 or 2 NPCs may have new lines to say but their old dialogue still exists! expect for the dark brotherhood cause of how the questline took course.

Also i did find the castle really cool, unlike Fort Dawnguard. now that is an ugly place.

the castle does have a nice big garden, but can you live with all the bones, blood driping and people feeding on cattles with all the moaning? you dont even get a proper bed. Dawnguard fort was never ment to be a home really.


and why must they protrate vampires like cannabals with all the flesh and bones on table?

It would've been cool to have some end-game stuff for Dawnguard, like being able to set up a vampire cult in the undercroft or something and to restore the castle to its former glory



Every thought that they actually are cannibals and its not just you know a thing saying all vampires are cannibals?

as a leader why cant i just kick them out, i had enough of that with namira quest all of those useless, questless npcs are bloody essential.

What did you expect? big red roses all over the place? No they are vampires, its supposed to be like that. and you don't get a proper bed because again you are a vampire. you get a coffin instead.

the problem is with other questline, when you become the leader you get the master bed (master coffin in this case). Apparently before serana and her dad break up, the garden was a wonderful place, and her mother said she is going to make the garden better than before, but i havent seen her do anything

Is it still considered a player castle if you complete it for the Dawnguard? jsut curious is all

i didnt check, but it will properbly left in ruin

The whole thing annoyed me.

"No one will soon forget that YOU were the one to defeat Harkon!"

"Don't get in my way, and I won't tear your arms off. Simple, isn't it?"

And don't get me started on the decor. I tried marking stuff for delete. The rugs. The dust. The rubble. The bones.The blood, some of which was a freaking lighting effect. I deleted a bunch of it, and it made the castle look way better. And then it ALL respawned. I was so pissed. >_<

I'd happily drop 500,000 septims on upgrading Castle Volkihar if such an option existed. As for the leadership issue, most of the Vampires in Castle Volkihar mention you being the new leader in one way or another once Harkon has been defeated.

and the thing is that guy is essential, i wonder why.........
if he wasnt he'd be ripped to shreds before he finish his sentence

i'd happen to spend million septims if needed, that castle looks unfit to live

It would be fantastic if beating harkon opened up some dialog choices with every Volkihar NPC. Something that allows you to assert your lordship and alter their random/common dialog they choose. Such as with the example above, I also found it very irritating.

"Don't get in my way, and I won't tear your arms off. Simple, isn't it?"

• "Don't threaten the lord of the castle, and I won't pull your head off. Even simpler, isn't it?"
• "Is that any way to speak to your new lord?"
• "How would you like to become one of the cattle?"

but i'd rather have "CLEAR UP THIS BLOODYMESS OF CASTLE, SERIOUSLY NOW"
