Werewolves - Equal Treatment for Races

Post » Thu Nov 21, 2013 12:55 pm

I adore werewolves in Elder Scrolls. I think they're oneof few games every to be created that have done werewolves effectively and in an incredibly fun way. But I have 1 request for ESO. Please. Please let my Argonian become a Werecrocodile. In lore that Bethesda has already put into place, Argonians are not able to become normal werewolves, but a similar curse is present in Blackmarsh that turns them into massive werecrocodiles. Still a minion of Hircine though.

Honestly the only change that would really need to be made would be a model. A werecrocodile would possess almost identical abilities game mechanic wise. A monstrous roar. The ability to call minions (which could be smaller marsh lizards), they could hunt in a pack. My biggest problem with Skyrim was seeing my Argonian become a werewolf and not what he was supposed to become.

Honestly, the only reason I'm requesting this is because you guys created it in your lore. I just think it would be a really cool addition.

Argonians can become werewolves in skyrim so you point is moot as it is part of lore.

I didn't know this. Makes sense though, I suppose.

They can only become werewolves in Skyrim because of game mechanics, not lore. Mentioned in both Daggerfall and the Infernal City novel, Argonians are thought to be the only race that can become Werecrocodiles. I just don't enjoy watching my amphibian become a mammal.

I'm still gonna go ahead and assume it was chopped up to laziness, avoidance of lore that isn't widely known, or game mechnics and not wanting to create another model. Even so. It's cool lore. And it's a really cool idea that already exists within the Elder Scrolls universe. Why not suggest it for ESO?

Lycanthropy comes in different strains in TES, the result of lycanthropy doesn't get tailor to the race, you can see that with werewolves and werebears in Skyrim and Dragonborn,

Can you provide quotes? I'd very much like to see a proof that Argonians can't become werewolves in lore.
