No, Werewolf and Vampire Lord perks are leveled by playing as the said transformations.

You unlock "Perks" by feeding as a vampire/ using vampiric drain, and werewolves unlock it I think by feeding and clawing people.

So yah.

Bah. Being a Layman svcked for me. I got no respect. No respect. Hell, i still don't.

Me either. I still don't get much respect, but I came a far distance from when I began. Your well on your way too!

Gargoyles, Death Hounds and Armored Trolls are some of the new creatures.

Also you can change your six, not just ur appearance apparently, but not 100% on that.

Ah werewolf, the "starter" of these threads, how wonderful to see you again

Thats not true, it says specificity gender and race are locked.

No. It's just your face.

Oh phew...now with all the news,infos.I tried both vamps&werewolves, but as we all know they were kind of a disapointment in many ways.Now that it seems that they took care of most issues.It is really hard not to try both at least once,even if i'am more into the whole werewolf aspect i'am going to try the new vamps too.I'am pleasently surprised so far by what Beth offers us with Dawnguard. :thumbsup:

Does anyone know if horse combat pertains to only melee, or if archery and magic can be used while riding a horse? I just keep imaging my character riding through the hills of white run, slowing down time and popping arrows off at dragons.

Good good, i saw it floating around on a couple of other forums but it didn't sound like it would be true *sounded a bit silly*

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:55 am

Really?!

So feeding on other creatures will be in?!..thats great news!

NO! NO! NO! This would be lore murdering,

Hircine doesn't give a hunt's ass about animals. He wants mortal sacrifice, so he only accepts it when people die at the jaws and claws of his hounds. Why do you think werewolves needed to kill people to wake up in the morning healthy in Bloodmoon and Daggerfall? Or to continue going they devour killed people in Skyrim.

Making werewolves kill animals and feed on them to sustain themselves is not the good way to go. People want to be a werewolf, they must embrace the "penalties" that come along with it. I hope this isn't the case.

Which forums?

And what do you want more, sir ? :bunny:

Wild Werewolves and other Werebeasts
Ways to recontract lycanthropy
Forced lunar transformations
Volkihar that pull you under the ice
Underwater combat (to deal with the above)
A dragon with stegosaurus plates and spiked tail
Pets
Aedric questlines
Expanded guild quests

I got a lot of stuff in mind, but I'm a greedy guy.

This is more than a good start though.

NO! NO! NO!

Damn it, Bethedsa! Way to kill lore! Werewolves need to kill people. People! PEOPLE!

Calm down, were assuming that what "savage" feeding is...

Fine by me there are plenty of bandits around and if I ever ran out of them there is always.... Belethor :stare:

What is happens to the "sixy gladiators" in your avatar Werewolf&Vampire ? :ahhh:

i was almost used and convinced with them :tongue:

Wild Werewolves and other Werebeasts
Ways to recontract lycanthropy
Forced lunar transformations
Volkihar that pull you under the ice
Underwater combat (to deal with the above)
A dragon with stegosaurus plates and spiked tail
Pets
Aedric questlines
Expanded guild quests

Well,call me an optimistic but - at least on paper - i'm almost satisfied for now :bunny:

there is a lot of room for improvement in the next dlcs i think - if the guys do all now in Dawnguard where is the fun then ? :tongue:

This minus the forced transformation(maybe limit werewolf transformation to once a day would be fine i think)

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:59 pm

Wild Werewolves and other Werebeasts [yes]
Ways to recontract lycanthropy [yes]
Forced lunar transformations [no]
Volkihar that pull you under the ice [yes]
Underwater combat (to deal with the above) [yes]
A dragon with stegosaurus plates and spiked tail [yes]
Pets [more pets [yes]
Aedric questlines [yes]
Expanded guild quests [yes]

This is more than a good start though.

Maybe not for Dawnguard but at least one dlc should have most of those things.

I was not taking a stab at him. Just saying it would be horrible, at least for me.

I changed it. I should probably change it back, haha. I got use to them too. It was my public face.

You can use bows on horses, but not magic(like destruction spells).
