When to start DLCs in Skyrim?

The DLC are non-linear, meaning you can start them whenever you choose in whatever order you choose. You can start Dragonborn, get halfway through it, then start Dawnguard. It doesn't matter when they are started or finished. What I like to do, personally, is play Dawnguard first then Dragonborn.

What level should I do DLCs in Skyrim?

As far as what level you should be, I would recommend 20's for dawnguard and 40+ for dragonborn. It can certainly be done at lower but I find it to be a good balance. You can start dwngrd at level one if you go straight to the fort, level ten is when you bump into the recruiter.

Should I finish main quest before DLC Skyrim?

Skyrim is constructed in such a way they you can pretty much do it in any order you want. You could not bother with the Main quest at all, and do any of the other side and/or faction questlines and DLC first, and THEN do the MQ, or any other combination thereof.

When should I start the Dragonborn questline?

Technically and story-wise you can do them in either order. However, the Dragonborn DLC is significantly harder/requires a higher level than the Dawnguard DLC - even though you are introduced to the Dragonborn DLC earlier. You get the Dragonborn quest right after you speak to the Greybeards.

What level should I be for Dawnguard?

Say whatever you like about Bethesda, but you certainly can't accuse it of skimping on content when it comes to Skyrim. Dawnguard activates when the player's character hits level 10 –although I'd advise players tackle it only after they've shot past level 30 as the DLC contains some powerful foes.

Prepare for the climb.

Purchase or craft a number of healing and fire resist potions in any town. You may want to consider recruiter a follower to help you as well. A solid melee fighter, like Lydia or Mjoll are good choices to tank Alduin when he lands. Ilia is also a good choice for her proficiency in frost magic.

What level is best to start Dragonborn DLC?

Doesn't really matter. Most of the game levels with you anyway. The cultists usually start looking for you after you meet with the Greybeards at High Hrothgar for the first time. In fact I think every single time I fast traveled back down to Ivarstead I ran into them by the inn.

When can you start the vampire DLC Skyrim?

Wait to reach level 10. At that point, two things will happen—the Hall of the Vigilants will be destroyed by vampires, giving the Dawnguard something to focus on, and a recruiter for the Dawnguard, an Orc called Durak, will come to the nearest major city.

He's mostly just a bit stronger than an average dragon in-game, not much else to him other than a unique endgame boss “death” animation. You don't get dragon bones or scales. No magical item or quest reward. You don't even get a dragon soul, because you never technically killed Alduin at all.

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. If your character is a strong archer, the crossbow is worth your time. if you want to be a vampire lord then side with the vampires.
