YES.

Next question?

I actually really hope that any other lycanthropes aren't physiologically the exact same as a werewolf, but with a different head model. Unless I'm mistaken, there are no actual rules about having to be the exact same. I mean, I definatley don't want a slim werebear/fat werewolf.

"The were-bear bawled and tried to shake free. Sul strode up almost casually and cut him from crotch to sternum.The tigers plunged into the were-beasts’ steaming entrails"-Infernal City

I'd want to see werewolves for sure, werebears would be a plus I guess. But I don't see how anybody would think a werebear would be cooler than a werewolf.

Because bears in general are cooler than wolves? that my reasoning... why would I want to turn into a puny little wolf when I could become a massive bear and step on wolves heads and squish them
which by the way is exactly what I will do if werebears are in this game.

Thats why we need werewolves...big huge wrewolves like the ones from the Van Helsing movie. We all know those are the best werewolves in film to date.

I've always seen were people turning into the animal of their form, not a man-animal hybrid, but if that is how it falls into ES lore, so be it.
I be a Werehuman. Weremer? Wereorc?

And that Wereshark looks absolutely badass, same with the bear.

Werewolves are to cliche for me.

There are werebears in Norwegian folklore. Actually there are stories of them all the way up to 19th century. Often just refered to as "bj?rnemenn", bearmen.
Another part of Norwegian folklore is that some people could curse people with shapeshift spells, transform men into bears, wolves etc. Making them either be a bear all the time, or a werebear, changing forms uncontrollebly.

Werewolves is from old nordic folklore aswell, specifically bound to berserkers. One example is the Norwegian berserker Kveldulf("Nightwolf"), in Egil Saga, who would turn into a wolf at nights.

To me they instantly look ugly without full-sized tails. Werebears wouldn't look so weird without a tail though.

I vote yes for werebears. I liked being a werebear in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. :hehe:

Still, what other game allows you to be a werewolf? None, besides the Elder Scrolls series.

Think Bethesda's got something more bad ass in store for us than Werewolves, and you think that is Werebears...? The hell are Werebears anyways? Is there a "Were" for half of the animals yet or what is up with this? I personally would rather there be some Werefox or Kitsune-like race or something. :/

But about all, option to be able to choose some race that has a wolf-like appearance, or become a Werewolf or something, comes above all that other mess of stuff. You know, it bugs me...little attention really paid towards wolves, in Oblivion (at least for my console only experience of a TES game), they were just another enemy to kill.

To be honest I hate how into killing wolves some people are, does that have to be portrayed even in video games now? Let players play as a character with a strong wolf-like appearance, forget about Werebears... >.< Or if you must, then do both. >_>
