Other types of lycanthrophy.

Since we're visiting all of Tamriel this time around, we're going to be seeing the homelands of other races and no doubt those races will all have their own versions of were-creatures.

How cool would it be to see all different kinds of were-creatures from different factions?

The Dominion would have Werevultures and Werelions, the Pact would have Werewolves and Werecrocodiles, and the Covenant would have Wereboars and (insert here).

I think it kind of skips over the lore if they're not implemented, you can't just pretend they don't exist, and it never made sense when an Argonian could turn into a Werewolf, they have scales, scales =/= fur.

Also, if they decided to make each race have its own relative were-creature, it'd probably make the single-player ES devs think; "well, they did it, so let's do it too!".

What d'ya think, will we be seeing other were-creatures, or will we all be playing as a werewolf (I'm guessing the latter unfortunately, just to save on time/effort)?

Werebears.

/thread

No, seriously, I do agree with you. It's probably likely we'll see other "were" creatures, although the ability to turn into them will probably be unlikely.

How does it skip over the lore? They do not exist in lore. The only other were-creature is the Were-bear, which i would like to see.

Well Imperials don't have fur either. Bosmer don't have wings and Bretons don't have tusks, every werecreature is illogical if you think about it. Thankfully, it doesn't work this way.

I'd like to see other werecreatures, even if only as NPCs. If some update down the line makes them playable, I don't want them to be race exclusive and if they are, at least give us an acceptable reason.

I wouldn't mind if they were race specific. I liked in old school wow if you wanted to be a paladin you had to be alliance, shaman were horde only.

I would like to see different models or colors for each race but they shouldn't make up new werewolf species because it's not good for lore and will be confusing. Example: if nord turns into werewolf he/she will have icy-white fur.
