Werewolves have also been given a skill tree, which they did not have previously. The vampire lord skill tree contains eleven perks and the werewolf skill tree contains eight perks. Eighteen new loading screens and several new world interactions are present. The vampire lord levels up through kills with its Drain Life spell, or its bite attack, while the werewolf gains experience towards its skill tree by consuming corpses while transformed to extend the duration of the transformation before it wears off. New locations are featured in Dawnguard, including two explorable new worldspaces: a realm of Oblivion called the Soul Cairn, and the Forgotten Vale, a secluded arctic valley located somewhere outside the holds of Haafingar and the Reach. Additionally, large areas such as Castle Volkihar, located on a coastal island off the Haafingar coastline, and Fort Dawnguard, located in a small canyon outside the Rift, serve as central quest hubs during the story. A "face sculptor" character is introduced in The Ragged Flagon in Riften, allowing players to change the facial appearance of their character at will. Stronger "legendary" dragons are also present in Dawnguard, appearing randomly throughout the environment, and can be slain by the player character and absorbed like any other dragon (awarding an achievement).
Three new dragon shouts (Drain Vitality, Soul Tear, and Summon Durnehviir) have also been included. The player character may begin the expansion quest lines in a number of ways.
Town guards can be overheard discussing the return of the Dawnguard, or the player character may be approached directly by an Orcish Dawnguard member named Durak and asked to join the order to combat the growing threat of vampires within Skyrim.
