And please do not mention Twilight, it ends in nothing but flame fests.

I'd like to see some of the High Rock vampires, and wereboars and lions. Some were infights would be cool.

In Skyrim, there should be houses/clans. Being a lonely vampire who wanders around for no reason, like in oblivion, simply doesn't work for me. What is the reason of holding such power if you're not in a powerful organization?

Only the ones that are actually in Skyrim, most of those live in specific areas of Tamriel.
Could prehaps be part of a quest that some of them where moving into Skyrim?

A part of me would like to see the return of the Cyrodillic vampires, as they were portrayed so badly in Oblivion, Bethesda just didn't do them justice. The only problem is there's really no sense for them to be in Skyrim. I think right now I'm more interested in learning more about the Volkihar clan, hopefully with Skyrim they'll be portrayed as these ageless monstrous beings we read about back in Oblivion.

Edit: Isn't a werecrocodile essentially a daedroth? :tongue:

Any and all.

I'd like to see Vampires and Lycan and many quests about them in Skyrim. In my opinion in Oblivion or Morrwind these things are not broaden enough. What do you think?

I voted everything but werewolf, were bear, and the vampires order and volk because I think it'll add more gameplay.

Exactly, i meant that. More plot about Vampires and Lycan. Not just "YOU HAVE THE DISEASE, **** YOU". I want something deeper.

I really hope lycanthropies in. All I want is a rare forced change were every creature either runs or attacks you.

Maybe a slight gameplay alteration like speed and a high jump.

regardless of drawing style and ignoring the armor and weapons i really like the anatomy of the werewolf this artist has drawn

Maybe it's better if they are like Underworld. More creepy and unstoppable than these pics.

^ Interesting. I wouldn't mind running into http://www.keithparkinson.com/art/kparcane.jpg in Skyrim. I guess [they're] closer to D&D Gnolls than werewolves, though...

a darker fur and a more menacing stance would help.
but like i said what i liked in the pics were the anatomy of the werewolf, mainly the body structure...and the eyes.

I'd like to see werewolves, werebears, and wereboars. The rest of the were-creatures just seem kind of stupid to me, especially the wereshark >_>. Also, werewolves and wereboars are the only were-creatures to be featured in past Elder Scrolls games (Werewolves were in Daggerfall and Morrowind, Wereboars were in Daggerfall). If anything, those two should take precedence over the other were-creatures.

As for vampires, I'd like to see both types. It would make sense if a few wayward vampires from Cyrodil traveled to Skyrim for whatever reasons, and then begin to infect others in the area. The Volkihar are an absolute must, too.

werebears and werewolves actually should take precedence if we're to follow the lore, since those two are known to roam around skyrim.

You're right about the anatomy. But i hope you lost your armor when you change into a werewolf. It's wilder

Just immagine an epic battle between Vampire's Clan *____*

i voted werebears and werewolves, i believe they're the only lycanthropes in skyrim, i know the werebear is the most prominent atleast. as for becoming one i think you should only become a werebear in the original game and a werewolf in a DLC or expansion.

the thought of fighting a dragon as a werebear sounds pretty interesting. i wounder if you'd still be able to use dragon shouts in were form?

Good point. I don't see why a few wereboars couldn't roam in from High Rock, though . I'd be fine with werebears though, they're still cool.

I doubt it, because the Shouts consist of actual words. But perhaps roaring them indistinctly would be sufficient for the magic to work.

Agreed. Werebears are native to Skyrim and should even take priority over Werewolves in my opinion.
I'd rather have Werebears done right with decent Werewolves than Amazing Werewolves and the Werebears just being there for no reason.

Personally I voted for, Werewolves, Werebears and Wereboars. I also voted for both Vampire clans. Although I might expand the poll in that section later.
