Here's a few fun facts without spoilers:

-You can increase your one-handed skill by attacking as a werewolf

-Werewolves have 100 more health and stamina

-Werewolves always sprint faster than horses, not just over long distances

-It seems that werewolves expend stamina more slowly, but that may just be me

-By default, using the power button as a werewolf lets out a loud roar. The roar has an effect of Fear up to level 25 (I think) over a very large radius. Not sure if this can be improved with Illusion perks, but I hope someone finds out!

-By continuing questing along the same storyline that enabled you to become a werewolf, you can have access to different roars.

-The standing power attack with either arm as a werewolf unleashes a powerful three hit combo, while power attacks in any other direction send opponents flying. This has various combat applications, especially when you're outnumbered and overwhelmed and need to act tactically.

Did you know that if you stand and talk to guards to see all of their dialogue they may tell you about places to go and adventure by adding them to your map?

Did you know that in order to be a city guard in Skyrim, you must take an arrow to the knee? :P


Until 11/11/11, I did not know this was so common.

Did you know that mudcrabs are horrible creatures?

Did you know that there are more heavy armor variants than light armor, such as Draugr armor and Blades armor?

Did you know that some cooked foods are actually very useful in combat?

did you know that if you get to 100 pickpocket skill level and chose the last perk that you can steal clothes off a character? useful for getting a husband or wife out of unattractive clothing (e.g miner clothes) although they do not always try on new clothes and walk about in their underwear.

Did you know the only way to fight a dragon without getting the dragonstone is through the College of Winterhold questline.

Did you know Krosis is the only priest that can be fought without needing to go through a dungeon and guards a wall with all three shouts on it.

Did you know that some vendors have a hidden chest with all their stuff in it, only accessible by clipping through the world ("tcl" in console).
