How long does the effect usually last? If I feed do I remain a werewolf longer? If I don't feed does it last a shorter time?

I'm asking because I'm not sure I like being a werewolf. Sure, it's cool being hated by everyone and mauling them to death. But, I'd like to just be able to "change" back on my own. I mean I can force a shift at any time I want but I can't just change back?

Not sure but when I was a werewolf, I would use the wat button and wait for 1 hour.

I think it lasts one game hour [one minute IRL], maybe two. Feeding does increase the timer, and no, you cannot force yourself to change back.

Here's some perks though: You can sprint faster than any horse, your carry load is increased by 1900 points, and power attacks have a really fun knockback effect.

last 2min 30sec real time gets extended everytime you feed.

another perk is you get no bounty for killing (so long as nobody saw you change)

2.5 minutes.

30 seconds more each time you feed.

I did notice that knockback affect. I was having fun killing some Silver Hand and just back handing them across the room. It was hilarious.

So, the increased carry weight is that only when you are a werewolf or across the board? I did notice that when I'm a werewolf I can't "activate" doors and such. Or can I? I also noticed that whatever equipment I had equipped at the time of my change remained equipped.

I tried waiting for an ingame hour and I didn't change back. I ended up waiting 4 hours before I changed back. But I did feed three times. So, I'm assuming that it's an hour by default then an hour each time you feed. So, if I kill eight people that means I'll be a werewolf for 9 hours. Does this sound correct? I should also note that I use; "Set Timescale To 9" when I'm playing so my days and time are much longer.

The increase in carry weight only works when you are in beast form. But I do believe you can pick up things as a werewolf, for I was able to activate objects.

I haven't been able to "activate" anything.

PS. Your avatar makes me want to watch WIllow. General Kael was badass.

You weren't? Maybe I was wrong. However, if you just so happen to be outside with way too much loot to carry, just grab it all and go into beast form.

General Kael was a badass indeed!

No, but then again I have an issue with perception in third person. So maybe I wasn't on the items I was trying to "activate" correctly.

You should've found a picture of him on his horse with sword raised high with fire behind him. I know he burned a village or something in the movie. It's been a while since I've watched that movie. I wonder if it's on Netflix?

Unfortunately it isn't. I still use my old Willow VHS tape.

EDIT: You're right, that picture works great!

I have the opposite question - I can't turn into a werewolf anymore - I go into my magic section and click on beast form - but when I go to change, nothing happens

Nevermind. It's there now. I had to refresh. That svcks though, I don't have a VHS machine. I'm gonna buy it on DVD now.

You have an opportunity (if it doesn't glitch) of undoing the transformation later in the Companions quest. When you retrieve the witch's head, grab extras. In fact grab them all.

The effect lasts for 2.5 minutes, every time you feed you get an extra 30 seconds.

OK cool. Thanks.
