Not true. Why do people keep saying this? You cannot catch another disease AFTER you incubate (after you transform and acquire the immunity). Unless of course there are weakness to disease spells and you can somehow get the effect on yourself. I did this frequently over many playthroughs in Oblivion, having porphyric hemophilia and catching another disease from a rat or zombie. None of those were lycanthropy, but the point is the same. You CAN catch another disease while you have the genesis disease before times up and you become a vampire. And every time I did, when I became a vampire without curing (didn't want the cure to wipe the vampire disease out too) I still had the non-vampire disease I caught before getting immunity.

All that's in question is whether they decided arbitrarily that this time, they would change that and unless a reviewer of a source of "questionable legality" specifically attempts it to see and reports on the result, all we have is speculation until next week. But at least in both previous games, their "immunity" was really only a percentage chance to block new diseases after you incubated. One you could lower and catch diseases even after becoming a vampire.

To people saying being a werewolf and a vampire means you'd always be afflicted somehow because you'd be a werewolf at night and vampires get hurt in the sunlight, well in the werewolf gameplay video you clearly see they player changing in the daylight. This leads me to believe that lycanthropy is activated rather than afflicted. And more importantly, no, there wouldn't be any issues with never being able to have a normal game if you were both a wolf and a vamp.

You have the power to transform at any time(?) but there may be no choice during the full moons(or at night period) as with previous TES games.

Whoever said it had to work the same way throughout all the games?

I have seen all 700+ episodes of the Dragonball Z franchise and there is not one single vampire or werewolf.

The closest thing to a Were anything,is the Great Ape transformation.

Normally I'd hop on the bandwagon and call you a troll,but obviously your not,your just,well,wrong.

xD

The question is pretty much entirely in the title...

Now that we know the player can be a Vampire and a Werewolf, it's fun to ponder whereas these states are incompatible with one another or not.

Thoughts?

I would guess that getting either one makes you immune to disease, thus preventing the contraction of the other. No idea about the ring for becoming a werewolf though

Also, why are people not considering that a vampire-werewolf hybrid would not create a new kind of transformation altogether like the guy from Underworld rather than simply being a vampire who turns into a werewolf?

I hope not since it would be terrible.

Best argument I've seen in this thread so far.

I guess it really is going to be one of those wait and see type things. But I think it bears mentioning, the lore does NOT say a vampire cannot also be a werewolf. Nowhere does it say this. There is exactly one thing alone that lore has to say about both beings, and that is that both are supposed to be 100% immune to disease. Nothing else. It does NOT say that when an infected individual finally becomes a vampire or a werewolf that they will be cured of any disease they already had at that time.

Off-Topic but


Wasn't Garlic Jr. a Vampire?

I know Morrowind allowed you to get both, but it was kinda buggy and probably not intended. You would have a werewolf body with a vampire head.
