Dawnguard Werewolf Changes

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 11:14 am

As we all know by now, Werewolfs are getting their own perk tree, which is awesome. But even though this is an excellent addition to wanting to be a Werewolf, there are still a few things I woul like to see either with this DLC that they have not announced yet, DLC down the road or maybe a patch. The first is transforming and detransforming whenever you want like the Vampire Lord. Maybe thats a feature that Bethesda has omitted to say to keep some things a secret. The second is being able to loot bodies and pick up items. Let's face it, it would def make Werewolfs a more viable character to use but I suppose it may overpower them a bit. If they don't add these two features that's fine but it would make them a much more enjoyable character to use. Thoughts?

I suppose the Ring of Hircine allows you to transform as much as you want but it would be nice to get out of that form whenever you want as well.

well the being able to shift back and forth at whim would make your latter want a tad redundant, we don't even know if vamp lords can pick or loot stuff yet either, or at least to my knowledge? correct me if i am wrong, i don't know everything yet :P

Ya I think were all in the dark about whether or not Vampire Lords can pick up stuff/loot bodies. I hope so and if they do, I hope they do the same for Werewolfs. As for transformations whenever, I guess waiting an hour is a quick way if u want to get out of beast form fast and then of course there is the Ring of Hircine to get u back into the Werewolf form so I suppose that is possible.

Not being able to untransform is one of the few drawbacks of being a werewolf. I'm glad that vamp lords can revert back, as its a bonus for being one, but I'm also completely fine with not being able to switch as a wolf.

I'm not concerned so much by the inability to pick up loot as I am about the fact that, under the current design, a single locked door is an impassable obstacle, and many locations present multiple locked doors in rapid succession. These make it impractical at best to use beast form, even with the Ring in your possession.

I think you cant transform back to normal at will because its like letting a savage beast out of its cage...it takes awhile to calm down

vamp lords are in full control over their pure form so they can do it at will

It should be regular mode. Twice every month is not a big of a hassle. And the Ring Of Hircine could be equipped to prevent the transformations.

I like that idea.

This is what I was thinking. Lycanthropy acts more like a curse while becoming a Vampire Lord was a choice allowing for more control.

Damage mitigation. Werewolves having zero defense means at higher levels they can get slapped and die.
