In TES II: Daggerfall, there is a book that states that Vampires find Lycanthrope blood to be a delicacy, the mixture of man and beast blood to be delicious.

"Is this the moment for me to admit that there was a time I loved being a bloodsvcking creature of the night? It is not impossible to live only at night, merely occasionally inconvenient. And I wouldn't have to kill humans every night, merely warm-blooded creatures. Orcs have a delicious, rich brothy blood; rats are a little sweet for the only meal of the night; werewolves are a real treat, almost decadent the tincture between human and beast. A real gourmet's delight."
That's the only evidence though of any sort of hostility between Vampires and Lycanthropes.

idk where people are getting this ideal at all. It has yet to be stated anywhere that the DG are even Lycan-related. There is the thing about a perk tree but other than that there is nothing about lycans in the dlc. Merely people who cannot fathom Beth making something new that is not related to pop culture (even though Beth had these creatures long before the stereotype of wolf vs bat)

Yeah, I remember reading that book. I think I actually might have read that book in-game, too.i don't know, an order or a group of normal humans facing against vampires isn't exactly a new concept either, and has been a part of pop culture in the past. I think the important thing is that they execute whatever story that they are doing in an interesting and unique way. And as I've said before, I think making the Dawnguard werecreatures of some kind might make them too similar to how the Companions are, and furthermore, they're probably going to make the Dawnguard a true faction of heroes rather than one that is gray in terms of good and evil. There has been a demand for a faction dedicated for benevolent characters that doesn't require you to become a lycanthrope or anything like that.

i just had an idea for how the dawnguard being werewolfs would work so heres my idea.

say you get a quest from the companions and you run into a member of the dawnguard on this quest. but you don't know that he/she is a member of the DG yet you just get the persons name. you go back to the companions and you talk about the person and some one tells you that he used to be a member of the circle but left a long time ago.

so say you go after this person and find out that he started the DG and made all of the other members of the DG werewolfs like him. and then the rest of what ever happens in the story line for DG.

just a fuff idea but what do you guys think ??? do think some thing along the lines of my idea could work out for how they would all be werewolfs???

I honestly don't think bethesda would do a DLC where you were forced to be either werewolf or vampire. There are plenty of players that prefer to be neither werewolf nor vampire, and I assume that Dawnguard will be the faction for those players.


I'm going to be very disappointed if this DLC forces me to be either vampire or werewolf. Sure, I wouldn't mind if the dawnguard was a faction of werewolves that didn't force you into being one, but if I can't play the DLC without being either vamp or werewolf, I'm going to get very disapointed

If werewolfs are in, im sure that the Dawnguard wont make you be a werewolf.

But werewolf cured players need a chance to get back to werewolf to try out the new perk tree if they feel like it.

they have already leaked there would be werewolf perk tree added

Yeah, not everyone's into that kinda werewolf/vampire stuff anyway..

They only added the werewolf perk tree to balance the Vampire perk tree(and because of high demand). I highly doubt dawnguard will be made up of werewolves. If you want to be a werewolf and join dawnguard I think there will be that option. But I don't think we should expect everyone in the dawnguard to be werewolves.

I edited it to make sense of what appeared to be contradictory statements in a way that I agree with. I don't think you'll be locked out of the Dawnguard if you're a werewolf, but I doubt there will be two werewolf factions in Skyrim, especially if they don't conflict with one another.

On that note, it would be cool to see several joinable vampire (and/or lycanthropic) clans in future games that do conflict with each other and you have to eliminate. It'd be fun to be a member of the Order and to slaughter other competing clans or to manipulate the townsfolk into raiding an opposing vampire bloodline and wiping them out if you didn't want to get your hands dirty.

Yeah I should've added don't >.<

Raised level cap?

I'm not very convinced by the reasons in the OP.

1. Not only did the sign up ask if you were a werewolf, it asked about all sorts of facts about your characters that just are not important for anything other than survey purposes.
2. The good thing coming to werewolves are the skill tree, which we know they're getting with Dawnguard.
3. There really is no reason on number 3.

The companions is already a whole guild full of werewolves, no reason for there to be another. And besides, there would be no place for nonafflicted characters to go in this DLC if it was either-or.

This should of been in the vanilla game. Same ideas I had.

Blasphemy.

I'd laugh if the werewolves just came in and slaughtered everyone.

Vampires and Werebeast in TES have no real animosity between them. Would they attack each other if they crossed paths at night? Perhaps, but then the same could be said if either crossed the path of a Troll or a bear. Please stop trying to turn The Elder Scrolls into Underworld or Twilight.

no id say the more likely scenario is that vampires and werewolves will work together against dawnguard. as the vampire questline could be a covenant between evil creatures that would also benefit from having the sun blocked out . i have not seen anything that says that you just work for vampires .

Another possibility is kind of like a Dracula scenario were they use werewolves to fight for them .

1. Like I said before, they likely asked applicants if they play as werewolves so that it would be almost guaranteed that people will test the new perk tree, and likely test to make certain that you get cured of it properly when you become a vampire lord or something.
2. We don't know if the perk tree is going to be the extant of lycanthropy's involvement in Dawnguard, so let's not state that the perk tree will be the only thing Dawnguard will be doing with werewolves as a fact yet. Though one could assume that to be true, considering that was the only audible demand prior to Dawnguard. Not trying to imply that that was the statement you were trying to get across, I'm just reiterating important notes about Dawnguard info.
3. Not sure one you mean on that one. I figured out what you are saying. It is entirely possible that there is new werewolf-related content that they do not wish to reveal at this point in time, though I'm not certain if that's the case. It is confirmed that they are getting a perk tree in order to balance them out against vampire lords, which literally could mean anything.

My whole point here? We simply do not know enough right now to confirm anything on this beyond the perk tree.

Finally, do you even know anything about the Companions? They are not full of werewolves. Now, I don't think they should do the Dawnguard as werewolves, as that would make them too similar to how the Circle are (werewolves fighting for justice for the people, etc.), but they could always do a minor joinable faction for werewolves for whoever wants one done. There's no reason why that can't be done, so long as it's something that serves a different purpose than that of the Companions (which is more a warrior-centered guild, something people seem to keep forgetting).

I keep seeing comments like this everywhere. Maybe one possible way for them to go at is through wild werewolf encounters? That could resolve at least two demands in one, possibly more.

It has to be just were creature or just humans
have complex factions is out of the games style, just look at the main quest their the good side and the bad side, easly seperated no heavy thinking required, i mean we can all agree that we killed parthenax and side with the true king ulfiric right?
