I for one am happy there are no werewolves. That has been played out too many times in other games and movies. I'm looking forward to the new new. Not my grandpa's horror fiction.

Yeah. Pretty much. But hey, it's a confirmation. So if you want to go discuss dragons or something else Skyrim in another thread, please feel free.


Dragons are also played out too much nowadays too. Especially with Lair and Dragon Age. But yet Bethesda added them in game. Good thing vampires are in, otherwise I wouldn't of even bought Skyrim.

Dragon's haven't been played half as much as vamps or werewolves though. But they have been played. Dragon Age was MEH at best. Never gave it a 2nd chance.

As soon as info comes out on the vamp quest and whatever pertains to vamps in Skyrim I'll want to know ASAP so I can avoid it altogether. I don't want my experience ruined because suddenly I'm thirsty for blood. That would be a major blow to the fun factor.

To each his own.

Exactly. To his his own. Dragons arent playable, so therefore I won't bother with them. I like to kill humans as a dark creature. Playing as elves have been overdone. But that's why Skyrim is good, because we all have a different playstyle.

I remember once either Pete or Todd (maybe both) discussing getting a game out the door. Them saying that they never seem to run out of ideas that blossom and they want to add it to the games. There is always one more thing someone thinks of that is great and seems so perfect for the game but that in the end...they have deadlines and if they didn't find a stopping point they would never run out of ideas and never get the game out the door. So when they can't manage to get an idea done in time to include in the game rather than toss it out, they will try to use it for a DLC. They always have more they want to add. And we always have more we want them to add.

I'm not much of a lover of the werewolf theme but I do feel for those who were holding out hope for it. Maybe Bethesda was holding out hope for it too...but in the end, it doesn't sound like it made it. I don't know that site but I do believe it may be right as Bethesda did visit there recently.

I'll hope for a DLC with it included for those of you who enjoy that line of play.

hey werewolf&vampire--- lol, there were actually a few of us who were concerned with how you would take this news.

Yeah, I read the other thread haha. Believe it or not, I actually am not dissapointed as I thought I would be. Maybe because I get to concentrate on my vampiric characters and ancitipate the werewolf DLC. Now, if we don't get DLC on werewolves, I will be pissed off.

I'd love DLC thats werewolf related, it was really a let down to find out today that they wouldnt be in...Hopefully they just ran out of time and will work to get them into DLC

vampires i've seen in TES and they never really look good or there are no quests that surround them...I hope that the devs do them justice

Yeah. But since they concentrate too much on dragons and other stuff, I doubt vampires will even have clans! I mean, the least they could do is make other vampires friendly. I think there might not even be memorable vampire NPC's. Although I hope Janus Hassildor makes a return.

To be honest, I was never very impressed with the werewolves in Bloodmoon to start with, so I'm not too fussed by this news.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of werewolves, but the solitary bipedal monster using swipes of massively clawed hands seems rather clunky and a little old-fashioned to me. I'd love it if they could do something more inventive. Perhaps werewolves that are true wolf shape, use a bite attack only, and rely on numbers rather than individual strength - so that they'd introduce a whole new playstyle of leading a small pack rather than mostly fighting solo.

I wonder if a control system could be put in place to allow simple 'flank', 'chase', 'back off' commands to be issued? It'd be tricky, but might be fun.

The Bloodmoon event is said to repeat every 200 years so it seems likely we could be in for another one. However I doubt Bethesda would want to retread old ground like that.

My opinion about werewolves is simple.

They are very cool, but they are not an integral pillar of the Elder Scrolls series. They are a side-note at best. The last time we saw them in any official capacity was as an expansion for Morrowind. Let's not become deluded into thinking that a TES game without them is a disaster. Vampires are far more prevalent in past games and it makes sense they would focus on them first, and leave Werewolves for an expansion/dlc. Personally however, I could care less about Vampires, just another enemy for me to skewer. If werewolves are not in the initial release I will not be surprised.

I'm the same. I like the idea of playing a werewolf or a vampire, but I really havent seen any game that does justice to these characters other than vampire the masquerade: bloodlines.
