Shapeshifting =/= lycanthropy, and what we have in Skyrim is shapeshifting and not lycanthropy.
This persons attitude is crap.
I don't understand how you can be sooooo butthurt over such a tiny detail. Last time I checked just because you call something a werewolf doesn't mean you have to make it like every Hollywood movie around.
I don't get what is so hard for people to accept that if they want it this way that is how it is. There is no if and or but.
Just accept it for what it is and that it is great. Seriously too many people that think of how things CAN be and just can't take what they have and enjoy it.
Granted thinking of how things can be is great in some regard but it's nice to enjoy things once in a while.
Take dragons for example you don't see people complaining about how they are totally different than what you would think of a dragon. They speak a ancient language that gives life to a special magic like pushing [censored] around or freezing things or even slowing down town in real time.
Just because it's different doesn't change what it is. This is a fantasy game and anything is a go.
