Which Skyrim DLC to play first?

Skyrim is about the Nords, the Dragons and the Dragonborn. Skip main quest all together, fighting that 495558th dragon isn't that much fun. Main quest, and in between, do Dawnguard, (and then Hearthfire) and lastly, Dragonborn after Main Quest. This is how Bethesda likely intended it and it makes the most sense.

  2. the last miscallenous objective in the base game,
  3. Dark Brotherhood.

Bethesda Is Doing It AGAIN?! - New Skyrim DLC In 2023...

Should you play Dawnguard or Dragonborn first?

Enemies will be more powerful but the Dragonborn will be just as powerful by then. I recommend you to do Dragonborn last if this is your first playthrough. When you will be done with the mainquest and Dawnguard, you will find the Solstheim and the DB questline as a breath of fresh air.

The Greybeards Questline

The Greybeards quests are part of the early main quest storyline and offer a full Dragonborn shout and access to other shouts early in the game. If players decide to skip over the Greybeards questline, they will likely not get a full shout until much later in the game.

Which DLC is better Dawnguard or Dragonborn?

No contest. Dragonborn. Dragonborn is far more interesting than Dawnguard, as you get to explore a new island with two wildly different cultures (the Dunmer and the Skaal), plus make side trips to the creepy plane of Oblivion called Apocrypha.

Can you start the Dragonborn DLC without being Dragonborn?

You can play through Skyrim without becoming Dragonborn, and the world is actually quite a bit different. As explained by Special_Tay, instead of heading straight to see Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun and fighting your first dragon, you should try wandering the world to see what's out there.

Both sides are fun, if you're into archery, or enjoy lycanthropy, then go with the Dawnguard, you can't be both a wolf and vampire so if you like being a werewolf you can't be a vampire.
