The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
What all new stuff is there now?
1 of 9: Ask Isran what you can do to help to get two miscellaneous objectives related to your two new recruits (or maybe his "A Jarl's Justice" side quest).
2 of 9: You'll probably find both of the new recruits working in the large cave room that's west of the central chamber. You'll also find that there's an Arcane Enchanter and a blacksmith's forge there now. (If not, exit and reenter the fort to get them to appear.)
3 of 9: Talk to Sorine Jurard to learn that she's now a merchant and an Archery master trainer. Also, ask her to teach you how to make a crossbow. You can then make crossbows at the nearby forge (but not at any other forges) if you have the Smithing skill's Steel Smithing perk and the required materials.
4 of 9: You can also ask her what you can do to help to get the "Ancient Technology" side quest. Note that it can be done six times in a row, after which you'll be able to make or buy enhanced dwarven crossbows with magic exploding dwarven bolts.
5 of 9: Talk to Gunmar to get a free set of Dawnguard heavy armor, plus boots and gauntlets (which are light armor). He's also a merchant and a master trainer of the Smithing skill. (Note that he should have both light and heavy sets of Dawnguard armor, so you can buy whichever pieces you're missing.)
6 of 9: He also sells armored trolls, which count as animal followers (like the dog followers that have always been available). You can buy a troll for 500 gold, and have it follow you around and help in combat. Note that like dogs, armored trolls will only accept basic commands, and can't carry stuff for you.
7 of 9: If you'd rather have an actual dog instead, you can find two armored dogs in the pen that's in the large NE cave room. You don't have to pay anyone for them -- just talk to either one and get him to join you.
8 of 9: Ask Gunmar what you can do to help to get one of his four randomized Side Quests. You can keep getting those quests from Gunmar (and one from Isran) for as long as you want.
9 of 9: There are several new items lying around in the room that's directly north of the central chamber, including some bolts and some Dawnguard-brand war axes and armor pieces.
