I have a genuine question, which one appeals to you more? I personally prefer Dawnguard for its richer story and the standout character Serana—I find the final dual dragon battle particularly impressive. Dragonborn felt more like an expansion, with a weak main questline that rushed too quickly, and the sidequests were only decent at best. Apocryphia was disappointing as well. Overall, Dawnguard expanded naturally over the base game, while Dragonborn left a sense of hurried mechanics. My take is clear! What do you think?

I prefer the High Resolution Texture Pack (Free DLC) since it enriches the story, whereas Dragonborn feels more limited in its impact.

I enjoyed Dawnguard more, though I haven’t completed Dragonborn fully. The new additions made the game more enjoyable, and the Dawnguard castle really stood out.

I found Dawnguard engaging, though beginning the plot felt forced by joining the group to hunt vampires—even as a vampire. Dragonborn seemed to need extra development time. Battling while riding a dragon was quite challenging, and Apocryphia left a strong impression. I appreciate Drangonborn, but it was clearly less appealing than the other character.

It really felt like an expansion rather than Dawnguard, since Dawnguard seemed to just combine everything from the base game. Dragonborn, on the other hand, felt like a fresh start. I enjoyed some of the new features Dragonborn introduced, such as the custom spiders and the Bloodskal blade. I added Relics of Hyrule to my game to give it more flavor, and it’s been working well so far. If you love Zelda, you’ll find it’s one of the top quest mods I’ve tried.

I preferred Downguard over Dragonborn, though Dragonborn offers more content.

Serana and Herma Mora stand out the most. The rest feels heavily influenced by Bethesda's quest style, ending abruptly without much lasting impact.

Absolutely right, that area was really uninteresting. I haven’t had the chance to purchase Fallout 4 yet, since what I’ve seen doesn’t even resemble New Vegas—I’d say it’s not the best at all.
