I think they should add werebears and spears. New vampires and crossbows were added and they fit hand in hand.
A hunting DLC based on werebears would be amazing. New locations such as "Hircine's Hunting Grounds" and new forms and powers. I would finally RP my half-naked wild man running through Falkreath with long hair and yellow raging eyes going Beast form and attacking people in his undergarments!
Anyways, werebears should be added. I was never much of a fan of werebears, but if they mean spears and new werewolf tweaks, then yes, add werebears.
Werebears in lore:I had studied werewolves for some time, and was keen to see if these rumors of werebears were actually substantiated. I elected to pursue these studies in the warmer summer months in deference to my fragile constitution. One quickly finds that common villagers are of practically no use in this land. Whereas in http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Cyrodiil, even the youngest child can tell you the true http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Bestiary that inhabit its environs, here I find alleged "wise men" recounting tales of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Unicorn and flying horses directly alongside their stories of werebears, so I don't put any stock in the rumors.
They certainly have their traditions for warding off werebears (certain http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Flora and ceremonies), but nobody can attest to even having seen one first-hand, much less possess any sort of artifact. Everyone has a cousin or a friend who saw one once, but when pressed, these stories fall apart.
In http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Skyrim, it is an old tradition to rub canis root on the trees surrounding your house as a ward against werebears. When I was young and stupid (as opposed, I guess, to being old and stupid as I am now), I always had hoped to meet a werebear to see if they were as impressive as legend suggested. I would follow strange tracks in the woods until they disappeared, with no fear or even thought about what I would do after I had found my quarry. By Thorig's beard, I was lucky that my investigations were fruitless
As I mentioned before, the werebear is the most common lycanthrope in Skyrim, and is also found in the northern parts of High Rock, the Imperial Province, and Morrowind.
The horns sounded again, the loudest now being the one they were headed toward. Because of the lack of understory, and because the huge trees were spaced so far apart, they caught glimpses of Hircine’s driver from a fair distance, but it wasn’t until the last thirty yards that Attrebus saw what they faced:
The driver himself might have been a massive albino Nord with long, sinewy arms. He was bare to the waist and covered in blue tattoos. His mount was the largest bear Attrebus had ever seen, and four only slightly smaller bears ran along with him.
“Bears,” Lesspa sighed. It sounded as if she were happy. She shouted a few orders in her native dialect.
The white giant was gone, and in its place something between a man and a bear was fighting the Sench-tigers. It hurled two away, but even as it did, Sha’jal leapt on the driver’s back and closed his viselike jaws behind his neck. The other Khajiitwere finishing off the mount. The other bears lay in brown heaps. The werebear bawled and tried to shake free. Sul strode up almost casually and cut him from crotch to sternum."-Infernal City, official Elder Scrolls Novel.
Silvade14: Pete, is the new Elder Scrolls books considered canon in the Elder Scrolls?
Pete Hines:
@Silvade14 Yes, we consider the Elder Scrolls novels canon to TES lore.
