[Ashley Clifft]

How to cure yourself ? I don't use it as when u do, you have to reequip yourself witch is annoying.

U can't get rested sleep as well.

Werewolf or not? Why? Advantages & disadvantages?

[Frank Firefly]

Disadvantages? Every time I turn back to human form and see my high elf chick naked, well...

It doesn't really have any disadvantages apart from not being able to get the Rested buff from sleeping, and people sometimes mention that you smell like a wet dog.

Advantages? It feels awesome to tear your victims face apart and bite their neck in those epic kill animations. Also, you can't contract diseases.

These are the ones I remember from my Trader/Werewolf character. You will probably want the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Ill_Met_By_Moonlight in order to turn into a werewolf whenever you want (instead of only once a day). Apart from that being a werewolf can be a pretty fun experience. You can focus on non combat skills without much of a drawback early on and still trash most enemys.

there aren't any negatives of a werewolf at all i hate when people say that.. if there is a hard boss you can't beat turn into a werewolf and kill them... the weakness is your susceptible to silver but after you beat the companions not one person carries silver weapons.. and most of the disadvantages people are saying like you cant equip stuff or take potions.. just wait 20 seconds then your in human form and can do that.. just use common sense and don't be a werewolf in front of people.. Also my companion does not think im an enemy in werewolf form.. I still have lydia and she does not hurt you in werewolf form

Another disadvantage: you lose your "rested bonus". And I wonder, what does that bonus do anyway?
