Underworld the first one was good and the others not too bad

Obviously the war between Werewolf’s and Vampires has been adapted in many ways in pop culture. Will Skyrim keep with them as fierce enemies? I’m picturing vampires armed with silver weaponry versus a group of pissed-off werewolf’s… would be sooo cool.

No. Just no. They have no reason to fight each other at all. If anything, they should help each other out since they are both afflicted people who are considered "abominations" and "Perversion of man".

Vampire vs werewolves in ES is not welcome.

Well, Jsashe, I'm glad you asked that question. You see, I'm a werewolf, and I live in Skyrim.

So you want to know how I feel about vampires, eh? I'll tell you.

Vampires are very impressed with themselves, but we werewolves call them...the jellyfish of the night. They make us laugh. They think they're special, but they aren't. They think it's fun to be a vampire, but it's actually pretty silly. If they drink blood, it weakens them. What strengthens them is their thirst, which only results from NOT drinking blood. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that vampires get their power from drinking blood. Well, it's not true. They get weaker by giving into their thirst. The blood only weakens them. Yet they are doomed to crave it.

Have you ever seen the jellyfish of the night when they haven't had their witto itty bitty sippy o' blood? Hahaha - their faces sag and become horribly disfigured. Sure, they become stronger, but they can't walk around in public. Even the sun can't stand to be around them, so it burns them. Hahaha - they look like wrinkled old prunes, shriveling up in the sunlight. Have you ever seen a more pathetic sight than a fragile, delicate, jellyfish of the night sizzling in the sun? It's a sight not to be missed, I can assure you.

And did you know that no one has ever died from the bite of a vampire? Yes, that's right. For all of their hype, the jellyfish of the night are completely benign. Some might say spineless. They're like a kitty cat that's been de-clawed. Whoops! Can't scratch that post now, can ya wittle kitty katty! Hee hee!

Vicious enemies? Hardly. Werewolves don't consider vampires their enemies any more than you might consider ants your enemy. Sure, if one gets in your house, you're going to kill it, possibly call an exterminator. But that's about it. They're not worth our time. They cannot compare to the glory that is Lycanthropy.

Where vampires can only sneak up to people in their beds and take a tiny little sip of blood, like some kind of perverted Sandman, Werewolves can tear their enemies to pieces and feast on their remains. Where vampires get weaker when they drink blood, werewolves are invigorated by gorging themselves on flesh. In fact, we must feed on the flesh of our victims, lest our were-health runs out and we revert back to being human again. Werewolves have power. Vampires are a joke.

But I am but a mere golem. My master feels quite differently about vampires than I do. He is so frustrated that vampires are the same in Skyrim as they were in Oblivion, that he has vowed to seek them all out, hunt them down and kill them, feasting on their spineless bodies and wiping them off the face of the earth. He says he will name me Lucian, whatever that means. Something about the underworld or something and the great injustice done against werewolves in the name of vampires or something. Whatever. I'm just a golem.

Command me, my master.

they don't have any reason to fight each other but they wouldn't join together as well.
vampires consider werewolf's blood a delicacy (very hard to acquire as they would be slaughtered by the werewolf anyway )

so basically they leave each other to themselves and only fight when a vampire has a case of the sweet tooth

You are joking right?!

EMO Goth wannabe movie, but than again Hollywood has a way to ruin many stories! Interview with the Vampire is one 'o the better movies where vamps are concerned if you ask me!

Never heard much about a "war" or conflict between vampires and werewolves in TES but i doubt they would even like eachother much should the two even meet, so...RP whatever you want i guess!

My comment was completely missed. Werewolves vs. vampires is like Apollo vs. Dionysus. Apollo was all about reason and logic and poetry, whereas Dionysus was all about blood and gore and alcohol. Nietzsche talks about this.

In American tradition, vampires are all about forbidden sixual desires, while werewolves are all about uncontrollable violent appetites. But these concepts go back much farther than that. Bram Stoker didn't simply invent vampires. He had inspiration. And seriously, ancient people thought in terms of the inner beast. Both are different ways of personifying the inner desires of the heart. Both represent the internal struggle we all go through.

But in Skyrim, it's quite obvious. The Thalmor are all vampires, and the Companions are descended from Ysgramir's 500 Companions, and the Companions are werewolves. Who defeated the elves the first time when they tried to destroy man? Ysgramir and his Companions. They were werewolves then, they're werewolves now. It's the werewolves who must defeat the Thalmor menace. Werewolves are the last great hope of mankind in Skyrim.

I knew about the circle, but the Thalmor are vampires? Source please! This is news! Makes sense since the Thalmor are controlling the Empire!

I remember reading something about Vampires hunting werewolves for sport. But I don't think they're dedicated enemies.
