An idea for DLC: Vampires V.S Werewolves

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:54 am

Vampires Vs Werewolves?? Am I reading this correctly? And can no one get it right that they are LYCANS not WEREWOLVES.... Werewolves are savage beasts who have lost all sense of humanity and is always in a state of beast form. A Lycan on the other hand has kept their humanity and has the ability to transform into a beast.
Lycan is a (crappy) term made up by the Underworld movies. It's a shortened form of the word lycanthrope, which itself is a combination of the words lykos (wolf) and anthropos (human). Werewolf is made of the words were (man) and wolf. The only difference between Lycan and Werewolf is that which the Underworld movies apply to them based on its own lore, which only applies to the Underworld movies.

Let's keep Underworld out of TES.

There's absolutely no precedent for this in the lore. Stop trying to bring Twilight and Underworld BS into TES.

To be honest, I'm really starting to get sick of the vampire/werewolf pop culture crap. Twilight has destroyed that which has built the vampire up to the point it was. True Blood goes in that same direction, but atleast it's interesting. Still, I simply don't understand the fascination with vampires in modern society. They took a blood svcking monster and somehow made it sixy and cool and now it's everywhere. It's sickening really.

This isn't anything negative about your idea. I honestly do like the cival war idea and would like to see it used more but not with vampires. I do think vampires need a clan to join or something though. They were obviously overlooked in the game's design. I just don't think we need a war between vampires and werewolves like every other book or movie that has the 2 together in the story.

Ann Rice started the romantic vampire bullsh*t with LeStat and Laurel K. Hamillton has taken it to pron level in her Anita Blake series; don't even get me started on 'Twitlight'. Please do not bring this pop culture bs into Skyrim.

Vampires vs Werewolves would only work for the people who like to play them, that cuts off a significant portion of the player base, i.e no thanks. Vanilla Skyrim is already filled with enough evil quests anyway, I would like to see them add more quests and storylines for players who like to play lawful good characters,

A better idea IMO would be lycans/werewolves + vampires + draugr + whatever else vs humanity.

Now that would make sense. Also it leaves the plot open to unlimited turns and twists as there are so many different factions involved on either side.

I agree with this guy. You guys say stop trying to bring Twilight into TES, when you are the one bringing it up. Twilight isn't even vampires vs werewolves it is a SHAPE-SHIFTER who likes a girl who likes vampire so the two do not like each other.

I dont really know why it always has to be vampires vs werewolfs. I would make a lot more sense to be working together since they are both shunned by society.
and the concept would be more original, because I remember no movie where they were working together.

Yes I agree, if anything it should be vampire and werewolves working together in a group or there should be vampire clans fighting each other.

So i thought it through and thought to share it to the community board of Skyrim. Recently, we have heard news of DLC brainstorm idea spillouts over the web.

Seeing that a perk tree has been spoken of for werewolves, we might as well have a vampire tree. But more so, to the bottom line, we should have a quest line between Vampire and Werewolf.
Ever watch Underworld? If so, you know where I'm going with this.

Different story lines, the werewolves and vampires in Skyrim has recently been noticed, unlike morrowind and oblivion. In thought, I think they should have a war like story line between the two cults.

So if you're a vampire, you are notified to travel across Skyrim to a small domain coven, to where vampires thrive as home or if you're a werewolf, you are notified (Unsure if it should be by letter or should be by companion. If companion, you have to beat the companion quest.) to travel to the domain coven of the werewolves.

As the player reach their destination and listen to a story of an ancient secret war between vampires and werewolves, depending on what you are, you are told that you're going to war against the cult. Your goal is to exterminate the entire coven (If vampire, that may include killing off all the companions. Which may lead to fail if you didn't finish the quest line.)

The quest line's length would be like the civil war quest lines length. Throughout the quest, you are given items/weapons as rewards, gold, fame, new followers, new possible marriages, and the right to use the perk tree of the werewolf or the vampire.

I thought this would be a neat idea. I was thinking about the war between the Imperial/Stormcloaks and the Thalmor, but something tells me that is already in the works, seeing that Beth left a major gap in the ending of one of the two sides near the end.

Discuss and extra ideas.

Hi there!

I'll pass. I'm not too keen on the whole Twilight fad.
I am kinda hoping for some gameplay enhancements, along with some cool new locations.

So, not for my palate, I'm affraid.

yeah I know. I just meant that it always seems to be that they have to fight each other when there is no real reason to do it.
but I must say that Babette has the body of little girl so a fight between them would be pretty hilarious

Only if there is another choice to wipe out both groups. Sounds like a good mod but a crappy dlc.
