Props. I was just achievement hunting in Skyrim - the last one overall and the last one for Dawnguard. I need to play Arena and Daggerfall some time with as much lore reading as I do.

I don't know is it? I am not doing math and physics so that is pretty anti Indian.

I have one missing achievement in Skyrim, to get 15 daedric artifacts. I got it. . . didn't get the achievement.

Also you like big enviroments? Daggerfall is HUGE! Oblivion and Skyrim were about 16 sq miles. Daggerfall is 62!

There's a couple points where the game dicks with you - if you accept the sword (?) from the Clavicus Vile (I think?) quest and maybe one other thing, it doesn't count as a Daedric artifact. One of the other quests either doesn't give you an artifact or has something funny, maybe the Peryite one. Stupid, really. I was paranoid and wasn't sure if I'd gotten all those I needed, so I deliberately completed the Hircine quest in a way that allows you to get both the Savior's Hide and the Ring of Hircine.

Despite being the most brainfart names for provinces ever, I'd really like to see an ES game explore Elswehr and Blackmarsh. I mean, I think swamp monsters and the multipart Khajiit armies/phase of the moon stuff have a hell of a lot of gameplay potential.

I looked up a guide to see what I had gotten, and I had gotten all the things. I have read somewhere that the achievement is glitched, not sure though. Either way, the achievement whore in me is going to be annoyed until I get that achievement. Soooooo I am going to have to do another play through. That is okay though, because this time instead of being a mage warrior, I am going theif only and seeing how that works out.

I finally got my primary character up to 93+ in every skill, but for some Dawnguard achievements, I decided to engage in a bit of dumbassery and play far enough into Dawnguard with a level one character to become a level one Vampire Lord. Worked surprisingly well, up until the point where the oddly-leveled feral vampire NPC under Castle Volkihar turned out to rape me face. So I went for vampire mastery trolling mudcrabs all along the rivers and eventually Forsworn from a hillside. Screw playing the actual Dawnguard main quest at that point, was my thought. That would require leveling up and not being dumb.

I still have to buy the DLC. Why? Cheap bastard, that's why. From my understanding of your comment, tread carefully, and make sure you know what is coming. Also why would you want to become a Vampire? I didn't like it in Oblivion.

Vampirism's negatives are dialed back from Oblivion- it merely reduces your health/stamina/magicka regen when in sunlight instead of making you a crispy critter. Vanilla Skyrim vampirism isn't that great (though it does give some extra spells, etc.), but Dawnguard has a "Vampire Lord" option - special vampirism option originally provided by Molag Bal as a bat creature transformation like werewolfing but on/off any time you want. Permanent water walking effect while in it, switching between a hover with limited spellcasting and ground walking with claw attacks. There's a "bats" power allowing a Whirlwind Sprint-like forward dash while dissolving into a cloud of bats, there's a Summon Gargoyle power, and others, with the primary magic attack being a damage and drain ranged charge/impact spell (casts like firebolt).

For people who aren't that crazy about all that (I wasn't) there is a very long, intensive questline with new areas (including another plane called the Soul Cairn), new dragons, an actual live snow elf, and vampire hunting. It also adds upgrades and improvements for lycanthropy, which was what got my attention.

My main character for Skyrim was an orc lycanthrope, but I more or less had quit werewolfing because before recent patches and Dawnguard, werewolves didn't level right and plateaued before level 40. My main character in Oblivion was a Dunmer vampire, with the vampirism being something I picked up after a while as a self-imposed challenge that required me to strategize movements for quests to not auto-ignite or get attacked by mobs.
