I do not have Dawnguard, so I may be free from any suspicion to just have a personal opinion on it's quality. I just say that when considering all feedback I read about it on some opportunities, both postings in forums as well as gamesite reviews, the opinion that it is no must-have and is overpriced, judged by the content, appears to be dominant indeed. It gets often compared to KOTN for Oblivion, which also was seen as no must-have at all, and offering too little for too much money. Dawnguard, they all seem to agree, does not what Shivering Isles did for Oblivion.

A point risen time and again in discussions is that the player, at least when playing for the Dawnguard, is stuck with a very repetitive and simple plot sending him back and forth between two distant corner of the map, and when one sub-quest is done, the same trip begins again. It seems that this simplistic plot turned more people sceptical than any other detail.
