    1) The quest marker to start the quest is woefully incorrect. Bethesda couldn't muster up the tiniest amount of willpower to fix the location of the objective marker. The marker is SOUTH EAST of Stendarr's Marker and the cave is NORTH WEST. Literally opposite directions.

    2) EVERY guide on the internet says the location of Dawnspring Canyon is NORTH EAST of the Stendarr's Beacon. This is stupidly and belligerently incorrect. It is north WEST. ok? North. Freakin', West. How tragically dumb does the entire internet have to be in order for this to happen?

    3) The cave entrance is absolutely tiny and nondescript.

    What a horrible, not fun user experience of trying to start the damn DLC, let alone play it.

    Dawnguard has got it all. Including a storyline that is way more interesting than anything Twilight or The Vampire Diaries have ever done. Especially the young - at least when compared to her fellow kind - Serana enthralled us with her tragic family disputes. [April 2013, p.90]

    It's fresh Skyrim and a lot of it, which is obviously good. On the other hand, the wonky design of the Vampire Lord undermines what should be the standout idea, and so there's a strong whiff of disappointment also present in Dawnguard. [Issue#229, p.72]

    Jump into the fray between the vampires and the Dawnguard with this expansion pack. Dawnguard has everything you can ask for in such a DLC; a good plot and many many hours of playable content. Anyone who enjoyed "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" shouldn't pass up the opportunity of playing this expansion.
