Having problems with choices? Why not both?
F.A.Q:
Q: Where am I?
A: Qasmoke. I teleport ldb there in case anyone (well, I for a start) want to load it with tons of mods. That is, if I save at, say Breezehome, and then you are using Breezehome overhaul or something, it might end up pretty badly. Qasmoke is edited by few mods so probably its safer to save there.
Q: So how can I get out?
A: ` to open console, type
coc riverwood
press enter
done.
Q: Is it clean?
A: It doesn't contain any mod, but obviously console is used so its not 100% clean.
Q: But is it safe?
A: As a save game with console it cannot be 100% safe, particularly if you are using mods requiring a fresh start. It would be better to DIY with your existing mods ab initio.
Besides that, there are obviously some minor problems like presented in the cover if you are using Legacy of the Dragonborn. Castle Volkihar rebuild with spawn some dawnguards fighting your Volkihar allies. However, I haven't noticed any serious problems that can be lead back to Dawnguard quests directly. I do have some ctd or freezing but its nothing unusual with 222 mods.
Q: I want a pretty nord girl!
A: Showracemenu or DIY
Q: Will vampires still attack on the street?
A: No as far as I know.
Q: But how?
A: Here is a brief walk through:(spoilers alert! But... surely you have finished the dawnguard quest by now)
Go to dawnguard castle and talk to Isran to start the dawnguard quest. While you are there go around the castle and dayspring canyon, try to find everyone, open console, point him and type
setrelationshiprank player 3
Otherwise later they will attack you on sight! 3 is what I used. 1,2,4 should probably also be okay.
Go find Serana, send her home, and WHILE YOU ARE OFFERED THE CHOICES(IMPORTANT! You must be given the choices), open console, type
setstage dlc1vq02 190
to complete the bloodline and start new order, then accept the gift.
You wake up in the cathedral. The door behind you is locked and Harkon won't talk to you. Never mind. Just tcl and leave,
setstage dlc1vampirebaseintro 0
then talk Garen Marethi to start the bloodstone chalice quest.
Again while you are there
setrelationshiprank player 3
with everyone, especially the two hounds since they cannot be calmed down by the voice of the imperial, and it might be a little tricky if they attack you later.
Go back to dawnguard castle. There will be 3 vampires attacking the dawnguards. Kill the vampires. If you did the setrelationshiprank things alright, the dawnguards won't attack you, and you can even talk to Isran to continue the new order quest as a vampire (probably the only occasion you can talk with him as a vampire). Otherwise, if they do attack you, calm them down with voice of the imperial or some illusion, setrelationshiprank, and try to talk.
Now continue to recruit Sorine and Gunmar. Setrelationshiprank and talk. You can do it as a vampire. Then before heading back to Isran, go to Redwater Den and finish the bloodstone chalice quest first. Stalf and salonia won't attack you if you had setrelationshiprank with them previously. Just kill them and go back to Harkon to start the vampire side of prophet.
At this point you must cure yourself of vampirism. Find Falion or simply
set playerisvampire to 0
setrace imperialrace(or some other race)
Then go back to Isran. You can only continue the quest as a mortal. Talk with Isran and Serana for the dawnguard side of prophet.
Go to Forebears' Holdout. there will be dawnguards and vampires fighting each other. Deactivate the barrier and fight Dexion Evicus. While he bleeds out (probably this is the only chance), talk to him and go back to dawnguard castle and read the scroll for the dawnguard to finish the dawnguard side of the prophet.
At this point you must regain the vampirism. Harkon won't do it for you. You need to get the Sanguinare Vampiris or
set playerisvampire to 1
setrace imperialracevampire(or some other race)
Use Vampire's Seduction upon Dexion and feed on him, talk to him and go back to Volkihar to finish the vampire side of the prophet.
The rest should be close to normal play through. Find the elder scrolls (may i remind you of a bug to get in the tower of Mzark?) then read them (you can talk to Dexion, who is now in the dawnguard castle, as a vampire. None else there will talk to you but won't attack you either if you did the setrelationshiprank right. Presumably, a blind man can't know!) Then the Auriel's bow. Mostly the game will treat you as if you have joined the dawnguard.
Serana will ask you to return to Isran, but he won't talk unless you cure yourself of vampirism again. Don't bother, just go to Volkihar and find Harkon in the cathedral (I don't understand but why kill does not work on Harkon...)
When Harkon is dead, Isran will come out of nowhere regardless of whether you have talked with him first. Wait a bit for him to leave or simply move him somewhere else, then go out. It seems Isran alone killed all vampires out there, and you need to resurrect them one by one
resurrect 1
(it seems resurrect 1 works better than simply resurrect, or at least it won't make it worse)
