Are werewolves immortal in the Elder Scrolls series?

If they are, do they have healing abilites (like the werewolves from Underworld)?

Also, how do they compare to vampires?

No they are killable.

What doesn't have healing abilities nowadays?

Bella doesn't like them as much.

What do you mean by Immortal?
They don't age, or they cannot be killed?

They can be killed, by any means and they doesn't seem to be more than transforming animals so I think they also age.

If you became a vampire and werewolf in morrowind you'd become rather "deformed" in an unintended way. They aren't immortal in the fact that they can die, from a lore standpoint it wouldn't matter if they were immortal anyways since I don't think you're going to be playing skyrim for the equivalent of 60 years to take notice.

Not sure what you mean by "how do they compare" one is a werewolf and one is a vampire. (I don't think either have been confirmed for skyrim, but most people are expecting)

We have no idea if Lycanthrope's are ageless in TES though a line in "On Lycanthropy" when he talks about the wereshark makes it seem like they are ageless. But they are more than capable of being killed.

both will defo be in the game I guaruntee it

I see what you did there, You spelled guarantee wrong on purpose so if you are wrong you can say that you guarunteed it, not guaranteed it. :disguise:

I am not wrong TRUST me, has fargoth ever lied to you, I don't chill with maiq

I pondered on this question as well. I was about to ask it. He means immortal by "Not aging". Vampires are only immortal in a sense that they do not age. I wonder if Lycanthropes are the same.

Werewolves and Vampires in ES: Both have a Daedric Patron. Both are immune to diseases. Both are harmed by either silver, enchanted or Daedric weapons. And they are considered abominations. Now how do they differ? It's obvious.

Now about the immortality it's pretty sketchy. It is unknown if werewolves age or not. Tharsten-Heart Fang lived a supernaturally long life for generations after using Hircine's ring(Which turns him to a werewolf). It is unknown if he was a werewolf before he received the ring or not. But according to him, he ruld the Skaal for many generations. Also, note that Hircine's hunt is once every Era. When you fight his Hounds in the Glacier, they seem frozen almost. Who knows how long they have been ther? maybe they are left over from the last hunt in the 2nd Era and remained intact for another Bloodmoon Ritual.

In 80% cases of immortal i have seen, the immortal age. the only times they don't is when they're pretty little anime girl vampires. thats not rare, but its rare that they actually don't age. someone who is 1000 years old may still be alive, hence he's immortal, but he's still old! in the elder scrolls everything is immortal pretty much. i wonder if characters will age in skyrim.

Not that I have a horse in this race, but just a thought. As others have pointed out above, there is some confusion over the meaning of the term "immortal." I propose the use of the term "ageless" for creatures who do not age but can be killed. Strictly speaking, "immortal" means "not mortal," that is, "not subject to death." Most of the creatures that are called "immortal" in fantasy (Tolkien's elves, for example) are actually just ageless.

Sorry about the confusion. Yeah, I meant immortal as in someone who doesn't age.

I've only played Oblivion on my bf's 360, so I don't have any experience with Morrowind. Is it a good game?

It seems pretty expensive too (I just checked on ebay and someone is selling a brand new copy of it for $150).

If you're a necromancer werewolf would it be lore friendly to turn yourself into a werewolf lich and gain eternal life?

so long as they stay clear from the edge of a silver long sword im pretty sure they are

I don't know about any of those.

BUT:

Immortal means you live forever, but you can be killed.
Invincible means you can't be killed.

At first I thought that was a joke but I remember a buddy talking about that link on ebay. Morrowind GOTY (includes all the expansions) is $19 on steam.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/22320/

Buy it. :stare:

Assuming your computer is good enough, but Morrowind doesn't really need a hefty machine to run unless you plan on installing MGE

If Uncle Red's involved, then that werewolf ain't immortal.

Oh yes it′s good! Seeing how you played Oblivion first you will be a bit put back by how clunky it feels, and many small faults will annoy you, but the world is so detailed and you get so immersed playing that you forget all about the little details when you′ve gotten used to the feel of the game and you can spend hours without noticing. I′ve played for years and I′m still finding little details that are brilliant! I recommend playing it, even if you have to force yourself in the beginning it will be worth it.

But it′s not worth it to pay more than you should have to pay, I don′t know where you could get it for a normal price but I never buy overpriced games from people who have bought the game for its original price only to put it up somewhere else for example eBay for triple the original price.

Here I see the Morrowind GOTY edition for 20$ so that′s what you should aim for (when you press it on this site there is a statement in small gray near invisible letters stating "not including tax & shipping" though so it may be a bit more). Also on this site they seemingly only sell in North America... I saw it on Amazon for like 10$ though.

About the were-wolves... I have no idea, one of the aspects I have little knowledge about with the TES universe, but that′s a good thing, the more to discover the better.

Or it could be bought on steam and you could have it in like 10 minutes.

Technically immortal means you don't die. Mortal, deriving from the Latin term mors/mortis which means death, means one who dies. Immortal, having the prefix im-, which is a variant of in-, denotes a counter meaning, as in it is 'not' the term that follows it. Like how visible means you can see it, invisible means you cannot. Mortal means you can die, immortal means you don't. The term has since changed, though, and is used in separate instances between never aging and never dying.

In addition, invincible derives from an English term never used, vincible, which comes from a Latin verb, vinco (and other related nouns, adjectives, etc). Vinco means I conquer (see the 'vici' part of 'veni, vidi, vici'), and so vincible means conquerable. Invincible therefore means unable to be defeated. It is now synonymous with invulnerable though, which specifically means cannot be hurt/killed.

Sorry, I'm a Latin nerd, and I like derivatives. You're not wrong, but I like explaining things

If you stab something enough it will die, no matter what it is.

What about a ghost with an iron dagger?

Thanks for the link

I was actually looking for the xbox version of Morrowind. Do you think EB Games will have it?

Ghosts are already dead.

well you will actually have to play it on the xbox for it to work, it's not compatible with the 360 unless you override your 360 with third party software, which is against the EULA.
