Can you do 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.

Skyrim Special Edition: How to Start DRAGONBORN DLC (Remastered Gameplay Walkthrough)



Should I start Dawnguard or Dragonborn?

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.

At what level should you play Dragonborn DLC?

Though collecting all the materials may take a long time. To get the courier letter, you must be level 10. Dragonborn requires you to have started the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest. This is a tough DLC and having good gear matters more than levels, I wouldn't recommend anything below 30.

Should I complete Dawnguard before the main quest?

Re: Which first: Main Quest or Dawnguard? It shouldn't really matter, regardless of which faction you choose in Dawnguard. (The two questlines meet at certain points, and those points are when you can mention being Dragonborn.) The most you get from are lines of dialogue where your character answers a question or two.

Should you join Dawnguard or vampires?

Overall, the physical rewards (weapons, etc) are better if you choose Dawnguard. However, you cannot regularly use the powerful Vampire Lord form until after you've completed the main questline, or else the Dawnguard members will not accept you.

Can you start Dawnguard Level 1?

I don't believe a level is required; you must be level 10 so that the guards start talking about the Dawnguard, but if you manually reach the fort and talk to Agmaer, I believe you can get in earlier. Of course, doing these questlines as a level 1 character is going to be very painful...
