@Elazul said:Except for the fact that Skyrim is already so painfully easy at the level I'm at, even on the hardest difficulty, that I'd rather go with the option that's more fun instead of the one that gives me yet another way of killing things in one hit.If the game's combat was better I would agree with you. But I found that transforming yourself into a vampire or werewolf just makes each encounter drag on for much longer than it should. For me it was nice as a novelty once or twice, but after that, it all became very cumbersome. I can't imagine playing the whole DLC like that, let alone the whole game.And, yeah, fun = subjective, not factual. @JoeyRavn said:@Elazul said:Except for the fact that Skyrim is already so painfully easy at the level I'm at, even on the hardest difficulty, that I'd rather go with the option that's more fun instead of the one that gives me yet another way of killing things in one hit.If the game's combat was better I would agree with you.

And, yeah, fun = subjective, not factual.Yeah, I know, that's why I said I'd rather play it the way I want instead of just min/max-ing because the OP said to.

Change it.Both of these. I can't even imagine playing Skyrim without the mods.

I turned it into the challenging Dark Ages/Low Fantasy Viking survival simulator game I wanted it to be out of the box.

But that doesn't seem too fun, personally speaking. @Chavtheworld said:Dawnguard seems like a pretty lame piece of DLC overall to be honest. No new land and a heavy focus on Vampires and shit I couldn't care about.This ain't no Shivering Isles, and I won't buy Skyrim DLC till they release something at least on par.
