So i started a new character to do some of the quest lines i hadn't gotten around to doing yet, and went with the big burly Nord warrior. After a few combat mods, I got the feel about right and went in search of fame and fortune, and ended up becoming a werewolf in the process. Awesome! I could see my Nord becoming one with the wolf, and using it as a "berserkers rage" kind of thing to take on multiple enemies. The only problem is... its awful. No blocking means I can only take a few hits before I die and I deal almost no damage. enemies that I can take out with 1-2 hits with my mace start taking 5 or 6 hits with my claws. Right now, beast form is just a novelty since I can survive and fight so much better when in normal form. Are there any mods that rework werewolves so that they are actually useful?

You could have a look at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19924 or http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5773.

And a small plug for my http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11450, which lets Aela take beast form when she's following you, among other things. http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/11450-1-1330371050.jpg is fun!

Thanks a lot!

I'll play with those and see which one feels best. I dont want to be totally OP when I'm in beast form (and i dont really mind that its only a 1x/day power) but the fact that mudcrabs could kill me was kind of annoying :/

I'll give those a shot and hopefully it works better. Thanks!
