📋 About This Mod
Summary
Originally made for myself as I like to play as a vampire but don't want to join the Volkihar, this mod allows you continue the Dawnguard questline as a vampire.
This mod only touches a few dialogue topics from the DLC.
It removes the dialogue lines the Dawnguard say to you if you're a vampire changes a few dialogue.
It also changes a few lines which didn't make sense in the Dawnguard questline depending on your choices, such as:
-
[]Serana referring to you as a Dawnguard member if you happen to be doing the volkihar questline but cured yourself before entering the Soul Cairn.
[
]Harkon calling you a mortal at the end of the DLC questline if you sided with the Dawnguard, even if you were a vampire.
Installation
Just put the plugin at the bottom of your load order.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything that doesn't alter the same dialogue records.
-
[]Dawnguard - Tweaks and Enhancement: Compatible.
[
]Dawnguard - Alternate Start Route: Compatible.[]Serana Dialogue Addon: Compatible.
[]Serana Dialogue Edit: Patch available.
[]Serana Relationship Revamped: Patch available.
[]At Your Own Pace - Dawnguard: Patch available.
- Alternate Dawnguard Paths aka Fight Serana: Partially incompatible.
Edits the same scene (the one where Isran shines light on you after you recruit Sorine & Gunmar). Load that mod after mine, but Isran will still detect your vampirism during that scene, so you'll have to become a vampire after that.
This mod lets vampire players continue the Dawnguard questline without being forced to side with the Volkihar clan. It's a niche but popular fix for role-players who want to experience both sides of the story. With over 2,300 endorsements, it's a well-received quality-of-life addition for Skyrim players.
