Do you think it would be a cool perk to be a werwolf at night

There is only so much horror I can take in a day, and I think this thread just about broke that point.

How would that make sense with the Fallout universe?

» Mon Aug 23, 2010 12:10 pm

eh no...werewolf belong in a fantasy game, or a game based on White Wolf Werewolf RPG, but not in Fallout.

Could imagine some scientist playing around with FEV, humans and wolves but to just become a werewolf? No thanks.
Vampire mutation on the other hand :whistling:

You can't say anything is possible. You just can't. The game has a set canon.

You could buy Oblivion or something. There's a couple very good werewolf mods for that game.

Werwolves? No thanks. Wer-Rattlesnake coyotes? Yes please. :disguise:

there still need to be some logical sense behind it.

A logical story is a scientific experiment went wrong

Well, since werewolves don't exist really, and the underlying mythology of Fallout is that it's "real" stuff, that was drastically changed by the nuclear wars and the inevitable march of time and the way humanity will behave good and bad, not matter what... werewolves don't make sense. Oversized and excessively aggressive wolf-like creatures - mutated from wolves and dogs, sure. Mutated humans that grow excessive hair or teeth, maybe... but changing due to the cycle of the moon and stuff? Fits in with a fantasy setting, not post-apoc. imho.

I would say that "werewolves" brushes to close to TES, but since TES 4 lacked and TES 3 didn't get werewolves until its second expansion....
Anyways TES should have werewolves, not Fallout. We need to distance the series, not bring them closer together. Otherwise the "Oblivion with guns" statement is justified.

A perk than enables you to transform would be cool.

But lastly, New Vegas is past its DEV stage and its to late to add anything.

How do Deathclaws fit into your definition of "real stuff"?

As for the OPs suggestion... A real werewolf, I don't care for that... But belief that the self turns into a wolf at night is a genuine mental disorder recognized by the DSM IV... Something were the person blackouts (obviously not for the main character) and commits atrocious acts, would work. The main player likely couldn't utilize this kind of perk without introducing a fantaasy element to the setting.

Okay to fit into a fallout term why not become a deathclaw for a amount of time as a perk

» Mon Aug 23, 2010 5:28 am

this is a bad idea.

i try not to be to cruel but.

Werewolves dont belong in fallout. but if you have this game for a pc then someone may be able to make a mod for it.\
i know fallout isnt the most realistic game (and i dont think it should be)
but this touches a little close to the land of fantasy.
also you made an account just to post this?

also- you cant become a deathclaw. deathclaws were some type of lizard that that was experimented on a while before the war. but some escaped and lived in the desert.

people before the war had heard legends of monsters in the desert (fun fact)

Because Deathclaws arent some random pick of the hat, they were made as an a Pre-War weapon, but it was ultimately a failure. Pretty this was in the Fallout bible, or one of the games. Can't recall where.

Deathclaw species

Human Species

there is no cross breed. Fallout is a retro futuristic game, not a Bioshock gene splicing game.

If I may quote Queen:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia Mama Mia (let me go).

Vampires were too far in Fallout as it was. Lets leave the occult for White Wolf.

Wouldn't exactly fit into the lore in anyway. Stop trying to turn Fallout into Twilight.
