Fishing at a Castle's seaside filled with Mosquitoes...

And those... Mosquitoes... are quite big too.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
DO NOT go to Castle Volkihar before starting the Dawnguard DLC, or else you will encounter the things you will ALWAYS run into when you play a game by Bethesda; bugs.

In this case, a bug that will soft lock you OUT from completing the very first quest in this DLC. A bug that I unfortunately forgot about and ran into with one of my characters like the birdbrain that I am today...

Luckily, I used the plate wall glitch to get around this bug that is SOMEHOW still not fixed after all these years.

All that's left is to do some soul searching at Soul Cairn again...

Yeah, I ALWAYS CHOSE the Mosquito Extermination route for this DLC.
