IIRC Bethesda have said that you can be a werewolf, but I don't think you can be a vampire in Skyrim.
Should Skyrim add the whole "werewolf thing" ?

I loathed that quest.Varrus said:
Anyhoo, being a werewolf would be a helluva lot better than a vampire as there would be hardly any drawbacks to it unlike being a vampire. Having to wait for darkness fall was simply too much of a pain to continue being a vampire.
...right, might as well correct this now: werewolf. No 'a.' I'm pretty sure that a "warewolf" is some sort of computer software that can turn into a wolf.Dylan Blackler said:
Quite true. Never thought of that.Dylan Blackler said:
Yeah, but the Grey Cowl was a voluntary thing. Would being a werewolf be an involuntary thing? If it was something you could trigger, it'd be great.Dylan Blackler said:
Maybe it'd work in stages, sorta like vampirism did in Oblivion. If you go a certain amount of time without X or simply make X number of transformations, you become progressively stronger, but the weaknesses become more pronounced, too. And, at the last stage, you can control when you transform, albeit again with the weaknesses affecting you virtually full-time.
Blargh. Probably wouldn't work out well. I assume that you end up with sub-par abilities from both classes. At worst, it's a broken class that has the strengths of both and the weaknesses of neither.Dylan Blackler said:
Then again...if there are vampire/werewolf factions or substantial enough numbers of both, being one or the other could win the allegiance of the respective faction. Being a hybrid, on the other hand, keeps you out of favor with both groups, and can even provoke their active hatred if both sides view you as some sort of abomination.
I agree with you on that, and I don't want to be "that guy" but it's spelled Werewolf, being that it was from the old english Were meaning man, and wolf, thusly a man-wolf.Dylan Blackler said:
Though, I never got to play the expansion pack for Morrowind to play a werewolf though I had occasion to see videos of players doing it on youtube. I must say it looks VERY fun. And they could perhaps even do something similar to the Vampire Cure quest to get the ring . . . like perhaps you get the disease, and go through a long quest line to find a way to "cure" it, which leads to an old alchemist that can take the disease from you and enchant something with it letting you turn at will.
They could even have a cave lair like they did for the evil chars in Oblivion. The Vile Lair you might recall, for evil/vampire chars. It had a slave in a cage that you could feed off of at least once per day, it had a servant that you could order to murder in your name who would then bring you back money from them as I recall.
Now, here's the interesting part, down in the lower areas of the Lair, there was a special room for Porpheric Hemophilia . . . you would go to a vein in the wall, grab a blood salt then go to the obelisk in the fountain at the center and activate it. This obelisk, when activated . . . would CURE the porpheric hemophilia.
Now, if there was a similar lair for Werewolves in Skyrim it would be a cave system, likely with a room full of either slaves or animals to feed on, perhaps a servant to get you more animals, or if being a werewolf is of ill repute he could go and help you obsfuscate by spreading rumors that it wasn't you people saw but someone else.
And of course, in the basements of it, have a room like the purification room in the vampire lair, where you can insta-cure yourself of being a werewolf. Personally I think it'd be a great addition to Skyrim, even if it's only added later as DLC.
That is specific to High Rock and Hammerfell though.Blunderboy said:Take it even further. In earlier Elder Scrolls games you had all sorts of Were animals. You could be a Wereboar in Daggerfall.
OT: Yes they should bring back werewolves as it was stupid that they left them out along with vampire clans, a gimped marksmanship(bows are boring), spears and medium armour.
To be honest they should also add the other forms of lycanthropy that are supposed to be cannon to the area like werelions and werebears etc. So it was always lore friendly to begin with.
Also no you should not be both that is just silly and you will either be imba or gimped.
Ah, I'm not that up on the lore, especially of the earlier games.Glademaster said:That is specific to High Rock and Hammerfell though.Blunderboy said:Take it even further. In earlier Elder Scrolls games you had all sorts of Were animals. You could be a Wereboar in Daggerfall.

I'm also hoping that they bring back the ability to wear clothes over your armour. I missed spears in Oblivion. They were handy for keeping attackers out of reach.
I read an article in the recent PC Gamer magazine that confirmed you can indeed get afflicted with the vampire curse.BlackStar42 said:
OT: YES I loved being a werewolf in Morrowind, it was so much fun to play a good guy that at night turned into a murderous monster. Please Bethesda make it so.
Well the lore thing is fine I was just pointing out that certain forms are native to certain regions.Blunderboy said:Ah, I'm not that up on the lore, especially of the earlier games.Glademaster said:That is specific to High Rock and Hammerfell though.Blunderboy said:Take it even further.

Being a were-bear sounds pretty awesome. If that's an option I will be basing my character on Barak, the Earl of Trellheim.
But werewolves looked less dumb!Blunderboy said:Take it even further. In earlier Elder Scrolls games you had all sorts of Were animals. You could be a Wereboar in Daggerfall.

...Marginally!
It would be lovely if there was werewolves, in fact, I expected it from Skyrim.
Would be cool also to carry on their lore of werewolves and vampires being mortal enemies, would make for some very interesting scenes. Like Twilight really.

What about a Werekraken? Tentacles anyone? I would love to play as an Orc water-Mage turned into a Werekraken every rising tide.
Back on topic:
While I generally sympathize with the whole "ware" idea. I'm more interested that the Soft"ware" is actually solid and the aren't any "ware"bugs nestling somewhere.
The hinderance that the Vampires couldn't safely fasttravel at day really kept me from becoming one in the first place. But still I always appreciate having this options.

I wanna be a wearbear. Or a minotaur...or a werebear with horns.
Failing that, I'll just enjoy time being an orc or whatever, running around drunkenly punching woodelves in the groin for no particular reason.

A werewolf with your doggy companion and your two naked Vampire Females, What more of a life could you live for?! Sucky Sucky every day if you know what i mean!
