Omg that was crazy. Especially the shopowner's spouse...

My stealth character came across several bandits. Stealth does not work with someone charging you with a big sword while his friend shoots arrows at you. We were outside so I turned into the wolfman and pretty much tore them up with little effort. If not for being able to turn in a werewolf, I would have had to run away and miss out on looting their bodies.

*shrugs* Idk. I've only ever become a werewolf with my aforementioned Nord that only used two handed hammers(That he liked to call Mjolnir ). Even if it did, it doesn't fortify it, and even if it fortified it skill means little to nothing in this game. Someone with 25 skill in one handed and one of those damage perks outdamages someone with 100 skill in one handed and no damage perk.

Indeed. There's a whole plotline where you can romance Bel - I mean, Ysolda as a Vamp or Wolf, with the other family member competing against you.
