Skyrim Dawnguard is now available on PC, Steam users rejoice!

So a few days ago we reported on the possibility of Dawnguard making its way to the PC and PlayStation 3, though Bethesda just said that the announcement will be coming 'soon'. While the Xbox 360 version released back in June, others waited patiently to hear about Bethesda's plans to release it on other consoles.

During QuakeCon today, Bethesda announced that Dawnguard, the first official game add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available for PC users, for $19.99.

The Vampire Lord Harkon has returned to power. Using the Elder Scrolls, he seeks to do the unthinkable – to end the sun itself. Will you join the ancient order of the Dawnguard and stop him, or will you yourself become a Vampire Lord? Featuring an all new faction questline, new locations, weapons, creatures and more; the ultimate choice will be yours.

And while Xbox 360 owners were the first to get treated to DLC, Steam users were the first to get the 1.7 update, which is still being certified for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Some of the Bug Fixes included in the 1.7 patch are:
