yes, Kinda stupid question to ask. Nothing to add to our knowledge...

But how does it feels for you? Beeing a mutant cat-wolf.

My Khajiit werewolf is named Cat-Dog, and he feels amazing. Extremely soft.

HAHAHA!! Loved the name. It must be really funny to see a cat turn into a dog and vice-versa. Specially if you got a black cat. It would sound nice. XD

Uhm... Humans are apes... An Ape-wolf sound sjust as weird to me...

It's a shame that being a Werewolf is only good for sprinting distances. Try and fight as one and you get mowed down by bandits.

Not me! Maybe you're doing it wrong? Even at level 43 (my roar doesn't effect all people now) I can still massacre an entire town, or cave, without taking much more than a scratch. It's all about the power attacks and making sure you get hit as little as possible. With a werewolf's stamina regen, you have as many power attacks as you can use and a fast way to get out of dangerous spots.

To be honest though, the only time I use wolf form anymore is for taking down giants. And the occasional bandit raid.

Cat wolves make more sense than primate wolves.

It'd be funny if it morphed into a perfectly normal human being.

I can't see myself as a primate. Maybe it's true but since I am human I can't find myself a primate. Even sharing about 97% of DNA coding with chimpys...

Maybe it's weirder to think a Argonian werewolf, since a lizard/reptile becoming a mammal is a quite bizarre and odd.

"It'd be funny if it morphed into a perfectly normal human being"
--> This guy mastered the topic. ahahhaha.

But you are a primate. Its an order of mammals that includes monkeys and apes.
Carnivora is an order of mammals that includes felines, canines and a few others too. Cats are more closely related to wolves than humans are.

Fun fact: The chimps are called primates because they are like us, not the other way around.
We would be primates even if we were alone.

It's more like 99.9% of our DNA is shared with chimps.


To be honest, the thought of anything transforming into something else is a strange thought to me - but that's on Earth. 'Cat-people' transforming into Werewolves is perfectly 'normal' on Nirn.

"is that fur coming out of your ears?"
yes im a cat genius

You guys are right. We are debating filosophy from real life sliding into filosophy into Skyrim, or Nirn's world. It's impossible to reach a "common sense" (sorry if that doesn't match. Couldn't find any other words)

And curious about real life primates and humans is: there's a link between humans and "apes". But WHY we became humans and chimps, etc... did not became if we share about 99% of the DNA and so on?

We came from the darkness of times and survived many eras, we now are the evolution itself. But why the other "relatives" didn't evolute?

And about the game:

Khajiit have 10+ punch damage. Werewolves does bare handed attacks. Does the khajiit abilities buff the werewolf? hm.

"Cats and dogs, living together. Mass hysteria!"

They did. They just did so differently. The rest of your post was nonsense, so it seems there's a fundamental misunderstanding on your part.

Chimps didn't become humans because they became chimps. Chimps didn't exist 6 million years ago.

Nonsense? ouch. xD

Chimps didn't exist 6 million years ago, but we did, right? I master the art of being the worst in history.

What matters is: if you say that we are the "elders" of chimps, in about millions of years, if the earth still exists, the chimps will be inteligent as us? It smells like Planet ape...

No.

Unlikely. Evolution doesn't inherently favor intelligence. It's not a single track. Everyone goes their own way.

Interesting how you answer quick and with precision.

That makes me wonder why we are the "intelligent" being in this world. Somehow we master technology and filosophy. We think, we wonder, we move the blocks.

Elephants and dolphins and some whales are animals with a sense of society, comunication and organization, but it's not like us.

What may you say, Tale?

Hey, in Elseweyr there's a species of were-tiger... if a khajiit caught THAT, how would you tell the difference?



Evolution is a per-generation thing. While species are constantly evolving, not all the members of a species are evolving in the same direction at the same time at the same speed. Evolution is a multi-step process:
- Every individual has their own unique genetic code, with it's own errors and mutations which makes them slightly different and unique. Taller, faster, stronger, hairier etc
- Natural selection occurs where conditions favour a certain mutation (Those with the hairy mutation might find they can live in the tundra that is currently unclaimed)
- Adapted branch of species becomes isolated from original species (Hairy species does not encounter non hairy members of species. Population breed seperately)
- Mutations stack up that prevents successful mating with old population.
- ????
- PROFIT! - You now have 2 seperate species. The "old" non hairy species, and the "new" hairy species. Both species co-exist simultaneously in different parts of the world


In the same way, humans (more specifically one of our ancestors, Australopithecus Afirensis), branched off from Apes to become 2 discreet species. The apes did not all "become humans and chimps", but rather a new species broke away from the old species, leaving 2 species side by side. Funnily all this would be much more obvious and easier to understand if a quirk of fate hadn't wiped out Australopithecus and our immediate ancestors, which led to humans to erroneously conclude that they were unique and seperate from all the other creatures of the world.

In this world I only know that I know nothing at all.

It is still hard to figure we branched from apes that may have branched from another and so on. But there's still a "why do we speak, create, cry, laugh" and the others still does not. Something about our past still unrevealed, indeed.

I understand what you guys are saying.

I get that all the time but i'm not even playing as a Khajit im an Imperial lol weird.

Yeah, lots of animals do all of those things, just not as sophisticatedly.

It is +15 for their claw attack...but yeah i would like to know that as well considering that it will not take long before my Khajiit warrior will become a werewolf as well.

No. The werewolf claws count as wielding 1 handed weapons for some reason, you'll find your weapon skill rises while slashing in werewolf form
