A category listing of all new items added by Skyrim's Dawnguard add-on can be found here. Most new items added by the Dawnguard add-on do not have their own individual pages, but are instead added to the appropriate preexisting page (i.e., all new vampire equipment is added to Specialty Gear). Only minimal summary information is provided on this page please use the links provided for details on each individual item. Armored Trolls are much more effective in combat than the Blood Hound dogs that you get from the vampire castle.This page documents the new items added by the Dawnguard add-on. If your looking for a second follower, then it might be a good idea to join the Dawnguard vampire hunters instead. While neither faction is the best, many players may find the vampire faction to be a bit more interesting story wise - especially considering you have access to a huge castle! However, the Blood Hound dog follower is not nearly as good as the Armored Trolls that you can hire from the Dawnguard. Auriel's bow is able to block out the sun for a day in Skyrim and does sun damage when shot at enemies! Serana is the best, if not one of the best followers in all of Skyrim! She has powerful magic and uses conjuration magic to summon dead enemies to help you fight! You also get a powerful bow called Auriel's bow no matter what faction you side with.
Regardless of which faction you choose in the Skyrim Dawnguard DLC, you still get Serana as a follower. Which is the best faction? Dawnguard or Volkihar Vampries?
