Dawnguard seems to have been developed in a vacuum, as it seems bewilderingly oblivious to what the modding community have done, what critics and gamers alike complained about and even to the nature and allure of vampires, which it is so heavily focused on. With over half a year to work on first major expansion Dawnguard, and in the wake of Skyrim becoming Bethesda's most successful game to date, I'd been hoping - confident, even - that this might be chance to address some of the persistent complaints and to make fundamental additions to the formula rather than simply balance more blocks on top that shuddering tower. In Skyrim, this wobbling structure looked less precarious than it has in the past, but some of those little wooden oblongs still look rather worn. It brings vampires and it brings vampire hunters - but will it bring the game-changing of Bloodmoon or the deflation of Shivering Isles? Gaze into my proud undead eyes, human cattle, and allow me to seduce you into reading on.īethesda's RPGs have always had something of a Jenga quality to them - teetering towers of ideas, features, environments, loot and AI behaviours that could collapse at any moment but always just about stays standing, often impressively so. After a couple of months spent kneeling at the altar of Microsoft exclusivity, Skyrim's first expansion Dawnguard has made its expensive way to the admirably-supported PC version.
