Intro
The Paladin is the holy warrior of Tamriel, seeking out evil where ever it may be. This has led them recently to Skyrim. Rumours of dragons, the dead rising from their graves, Necromancers being far more outspoken of their work, cults in every other cave and even the dark brotherhood coming out of their hiding hole. The Paladin's work is never done, but they wonder if Skyrim can ever be saved. Typically coming from an Imperial background their orders have been updated recently to include the rejection of all Talos worshipers, just a little something to make their job even more dangerous. Wielding a mix of holy magic and and maces, while protected by expensive plate armour, the Paladins are a strong force of justice and retribution.

Dark Brotherhood - No.
Thieves Guild - No.
Mages College - Yes, may as well enhance your abilities while in reach of the famous college.
Bard's College - Yes.
Companions - Yes, but no Werewolf form.
Dawnguard - You're here to destroy evil, so definitely join the Dawnguard. This also gives access to damaging Resto spells such as Sun Fire.
Dragonborn - Yes, destroying evil and all that.
Thane Quests - Yes, notoriety is everything in the Paladins world.
Side Quests - Yes, helping citizens is good.
Daedric Artifacts - Yes, I mean, your masters in Cyrodil would want such items destroyed, but if you had a home in Skyrim... What they don't know won't hurt them.
Final Note;
None for this class, it's a simple, well structured playthrough that gives more importance to the Dawnguard quests.
use the dawnguard armor for protection from vampires
