OK.. from the Wiki...Dawnguard Quests

Spoiler: click to toggle


This is what I am thinking...

Main Quests: 1,000 points each, If I am counting right that's 12 for each side
for a total of 12,000 points for the main quests.
Add in a bonus of 5,000 for finishing all the Main Quests

500 points for the Faction side quests. as these are radiant they can be done multiple times.

The "other side quests"
Durnehviir: Learn a dragon shout from Durnehviir. ...100pts
Forgotten Vale Books Quest: Bring the Ancient Falmer Tome to Urag gro-Shub.... 100 pts each book
Impatience of a Saint: Collect the ten missing pages of Saint Jiub's Opus. ....100 for each page
Lost to the Ages: Search for the Dwemer's Aetherium Forge...... 3000 points
Soul Cairn Horse Quest: Find Arvak's skull. 500 points
Surgery: Change your appearance 100 points

I'll get a list of the "unique" to Dawnguard items and points for them.. if these look ok.


IF we use the Death With Consequences, I wanted to make the penalty... hefty, but not so much that it sucked to use it. With the ability to make huge jumps in points, I think 5,000 point penalty per use isn't really much.. it can be made up.

No time penalty, just the "end date".. I think that will work best. looking at this, Dead is Dead.. 60 to 80 hrs, is not really all that much, perhap's over a month's time. This would give enough time for everyone to play in their own stye and also to restart if needs be and still get a good run in.

We can do a Mini-game when people are "done" and waiting for others.. or before we start, perhap's to get in some practice with our chosen styles.. and change or tweak them as needed..


and now I have writeen a mini book!!

Well done Areial. I had a thought, fleeting though it was, would we want to add in for some fun, no extra credit appropriate Daedra quests. Example would be, character has decided to go Dawnguard and desires Meridia's Sword as a weapon of light. It is purely optional to do and the reward would be the shiny object with no impact on actual score. Or if people do want it to count they would get 1 septim to be stolen in the future by Sheo.

hmmm Meridia's quest is "vampire" related.... if everyone is agreeable we can add that in as an "other" quest at 500 points..

If anyone can think of a good quest for the "vampire" side that would match up, we can add that also.. well any quest that would match the tone of the round.

I can see I'm in trouble here. Out of that list of quests, I recognize only 2 that I have done. "Lost to the Ages" and "Surgery"...

St Juib? Is that the guy from the prison ship in Morrowind?

Yes that's the guy from Morrowind.. he and his pages are found in the
Spoiler: click to toggle
they are a regular P.I.T.A. to find, unless you have done the quest enough to know where they are.

Richard will, of course, have the Wiki and the quest's on the Competition main page.. and we can also put in on the "Chatter" and "Pictures" thread as well.. and I'm sure none of us would be backwards about helping a brother out with some hint's as to how and where the quest's are..

Page 3? Yeah it's over there *points off in a direction*.

NO, no, over THERE! *points again off in a direction*.

What, no I pointed in the same direction it's just that the Soul Cairn keeps changing! ;)

Y'know, if I've ever been to the Soul Cairn... I don't remember it...

One nice thing about having no real memory is that every time you play a game it's like the first time, except you start to remember things just before they happen... Like de ja veux, eh? :)

Yeah, gad's and Horse Feathers.. I hated that Shite.. the markers didn't stay put.. half of them didn't work when the DLC first came out.. and I was trying ever sooooo hard to get some good pic's for my PC buddies that had to wait..

some of that got fixed, but I don't think they ever did a "map" that made any sense!

One of my permanent mods is one that adds quest markers to Jiub's Opus pages....looks like that one is a no go this time round...

In fact I think the only ones I'd have issues with are the lost falmer texts and jiub's opus...Though the wiki has a map for the opus and the texts I think I remember where 3 of those are, 4th I may need to make a note of...

Vamp equivalent to Meridia....Mace of Molag? Creator of the vamps, kind of bloody, can be done at similar level. Otherwise Boethia maybe, but that has a higher level requirement. Possibly Namira? Vaermina at a push...
Malacath, peryite, clavicus, Azura, Mephala, Dagon, sheo, hircine, herma mora, nocturnal and sanguine are all very much their own thing.

Related to the radiant quests....are we allowing any mods that add "coach" options to Dayspring Canyon/Northwatch Keep? The travel to/from those locations can be...discouraging

And being as we'll be visiting the appropriate areas....Reaper? Paragons?

Hmmm I smell a sneaky light armor wearing archer with a penchant for alteration, a smidge of illusion, who has secretly learned to smith and enchant his crossbow to its full potential and on the rare occasion likes to throw a summoned daedra in the mix for the chaos factor! *runs off to get the character creation done and do a practice run*

I think Molag Bal.. if we do one for one.. as it IS fitting in a way..

Mods... I had not said anything else, because it look's like most already voiced opinion that the "advantage/ disadvantage" system is a good idea.. so I figured we would use it.

So in that.. you can use a mod that allows for a coach or carriage ride to places, but count that as an Advantage mod on your list. Same with the quest markers.

It's not hard to come up with a couple "disadvantage" mods.. CoT is a disadvantage if it's set to darker than vanilla... True Storms.. ditto. Not saying your going to, but IF you had a pure melee character, but added Grimoire + ASIS, that would be two Disadvantage mods .. if your character uses Magicka, then it is one.

As long as they equal or go to the side of Disadvantage, it's all good.. Remeber that something that might be an "advantage" for one character might end up being a disadvantage for another.

Two things... Followers and Standing Stones, both were brought up.

Followers ( other than quest forced ones..) yes/no

Standing Stones.. switching from one to another.. was brought up that you can only have one, one choice until you get the Anthurium Crown. I like the idea of not being able to swap them back and forth.. But perhap's one switch..


And here's ( probably ) my Competition character

I don't think switching stones should be an issue. You have to journey to the stone to get it and then journey to the next one if you want to change. Death chasing you all the way.

Don't care about followers as I never use them and don't mind if others do.

Pretty much the same with me Bram. If I play a mage, I might take the mage stone long enough to build up some destruction, then switch to either Lord or Lady stone. I almost never switch after that., and if I need to, I can live without the mage stone boost.

Usually I get the Lord Stone and never change it after that.

If I have a warrior build, I will sometimes get the crown and put the Atronach stone in it, but that would be counter-productive for a mage build.

I'm indifferent on followers, but I wouldn't be against having them.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't specific on followers but, like Bram, I don't use them but I don't care if anybody else does.
