Standing directly in the fang-bangers’ path stands The Dawnguard, an elite vampire dusting outfit that desperately needs your help if you choose to offer it. The choice is yours. Do you stand up for the poor UV challenged and misunderstood vampires and become a creature of the night? Or do you don a pair of sunglasses, start blasting the techno backing tracks, practice your raspiest Blade impersonation and start kicking some ash?
