That is called Console Commands, when the Lore of the Game is explained well enough to justify something then it should not be changed

Thought it was entertaining personally. It was a bit of an extra challenge. Plus you were fine as long as you feed.

Not saying the change is necessary at all. Just saying that the feature itself would be interesting. I was always satisfied with the companions explanation was just trying to point out that restrictions do not necessarily make something not fun.

Yes, but that doesn't mean anything. Just because the way the disease was transmitted was different doesn't mean the disease is inherently different.

Fast Travelling through out your perception of how much time had passed making it difficult to keep yourself fed

Play the Companions QL again and talk to Kodlak

As cannibals...which I honestly don't see them as, considering they're technically eating a different species then themselves >.< as cannibals they may want a dungeon or something like it for their food, or may want to wage a war upon a different race and would need protection that a cave couldn't give

It what made being a vampire fun in Oblivion. That fear, that need to drink blood or suffer the consequences. Added to the roleplay.

Yeah but the actual fast travel did not take into account if you were going into the stage. You could easily fast travel to a near by city to feed before going off on your adventure.

exactly

this
if there was a 'werewolf home' made in the game, I think itd be more of a spruced up cave than a castle
but dont count on anything
we are lucky to be getting werewolf perks, so dont count on an expansion strictly for them

What about an expansion for WEARBEARS.

Having too few restrictions is just as bad as having too many. If I wanted a perfect roleplaying experience, I could put away all video games and just imagine everything, keeping it in my head - but I don't think that's what Bethesda was trying to accomplish. If a game is too easy, too forgiving, too accommodating, it's not fun anymore. At least to me. Every world, even an imaginary one, needs some restrictions to feel real.

Last time I checked, it was a disease. I'm not talking about the Companions, mind you, but about lycanthropy in general. And even the Companions decided they wanted to be cured - why is that if being a werewolf is a blessing?


I loved sun damage in Oblivion.

*Werebears. Same applies for them, except to an even more strict degree. Werebears are extremely rare, so much that both ingame books written on them have mentioned this, as well as no appearance of them ingame. Hell, the only werebears encountered in lore was in Hircine's Hunting Grounds, not even in Tamriel. Werebears would be solititary more than werewolves would be, just as real bears.

Not everyone in the Companions wanted to be cured, and Kodlak had to convince a few of them to join his side and want to be cured, so it was more of a persuasion thing instead of the few that wanted to be cured actually wanting to be cured.

was actually speaking about his mentioning of not expecting a werewolf dlc so I was saying what about a dlc about werebears. Was figuring that a werebear dlc could be likely with the gamejam footage and all and that it would improve lycanthropy in general.

They did however mention they had a constant urge to kill things when you first walk in on vignar and khodlak, so it is not without some side effects.

I agree with you on all points, but Lycanthropy is a curse and a disease. It can be passed on people through a bite, scratch, ingestion of blood and even at birth. Yet it is a supernatural disease and to some it can count as a curse or a blessing. Not to get into a philosophical debate on fiction, but it depends on the afflicted's point of view on whether or not Lycanthropy is a curse or a blessing. Story and lorewise, it can be one or the other. As mentioned, Lycanthropy can be a curse for most, a blessing for some and a way of life for a few. Gameplaywise it is the same deal. Some may hate the drawbacks, some may enjoy the benefits and some simply do not care one way or the other. But in Skyrim, it feels like there are more benefits than anything else. Unbalanced and just plain boring.

I'm a Nord warrior, born with the soul of a dragon. I hunt the most powerful beasts of all time - dragons - and no curse can overcome my will. The winds of the north howl through my veins and the wolf heeds me, not the other way around!

pretty sure hircine still beats you.

on a side note this thread has seemed to get a bit off topic.

Let us change that.

No "Lycan" castles. No Lycanthrope castles.

To be completly truthful . I believe if vamps get an organized castle than werewolves(lycanthropes) should have an organized pack of werewolves and maybe even a new ability that you get once you become an alpha ( of course to be an alpha you need to gain respect so why not raid a village like riverwood or even destroy harkan and his disciples) and once you become alpha i think you should be able to have two followers ( beta) (omega) i also think the reason bethesda didn't give wolves a castle or an organized fight force is becuase werewolves are stronger. Have ever fought a vampire in skyrim as a werewolf it's easy and quite ridiculous. 2 maybe 3 slashes and the vamp is dead. so all wolf lovers don't complain becuase the werewolf is already over powered

still say that a fortified location like a cave or cliff could be a nice substitute. Maybe it would be some great shrine to hircine where followers gather or such.

Clearly not since I don't turn into a wolf at night.

Companions.

I thought that was a side effect of not turning as often?
