First off, I have to say...Skyrim is outstanding, definitely the best $60 spent on any game since Oblivion. I have not played more than 10 to 15 hours, and I know I have barely scratched the surface.

Now, I have a werewolf question. Is it possible to be infected with lycantropy without joining the Companions? Are there any wild werewolves out there? If so...where?

Place a big fat spoiler over your topic heading. Didn't know till now you got werewolf option with companions.

TIme to join the Companions I guess.
