With your username and avatar I'd thought it would have been the other way around.

I would appreciate both IMO, i would really like it if you joined a clan of were-creatures/vampires and followed a questline to bring the clan to the pinnacle of that race, or maybe an all out vamp vs were war like they did in that movie with the vampires who kept werewolves as slaves


The movies your talking about are called Underworld and are based off of a series of comics by the same name.
I love those movies.

I'd be up for both vamps and wolves if they had some kind of feud going,
joining one side or the other, that would be A LOT of fun, I'd buy ES 5 just for that if they could pull that off.

Oh dear. Let's reiterate:

Underworld is not TES. There is no such thing as a feud between vampires and were-creatures within the ES universe. Their needs and desires are not remotely conflicting on a large enough scale to spark factional conflict. They have no reason to be at war. The vampire clans and bloodlines are more obsessed with purging each other than outsiders, and the werewolves are lone agents by competition, brought together cohesively only when Hircine is involved.

Forgive me, but Underworld has propagated this vamp versus were-thing stereotype far too much. Including it, or drafting a questline that more than looks as though it were written purely to give the fanbase access to said stereotype, would be terribly cliche.

So because Oblivion threw the lore into the proverbial meat grinder, we should just blindly continue that trend based off, "well, the process has already been started, the can of worms is already open?" No thank you. I'd rather the next titles work to rebuild the lore as it was meant to be, not further dilute it and rip it to pieces and degrade it into just another stereotype of fantasy.

The fact that the lore was treated very badly in Oblivion does NOT mean that it was a good thing or that it should happen again. I for one hope that the devs will see this as a mistake and will actually re-establish the lore and make it more valid and more self supporting. This cannot be achived by taking clish? things for other games/movies/comics/... and just sticking it onto the already existing lore. They have done that in Oblivion and it did NOT work, so I hope the devs will see this.

Combinig werewhatevers and vampires might be a bit tricky. I'm almost sure that there is no confirmed case of this in the lore and taking into concideration that vampires are the creations of Molag Bal and werewolves (proably even all teh other werewhatevers) were sired by hircine, I would see a bit of a conflict here. So unless someone comes with a good explanation how that could be possible, I would oppose this idea.

Neither. I hunt them.

But I'll play along for now. I prefer vampires simply because Molag Bal created them, and Molag Bal rules! Molag Bal > Hircine :meh:

(Wow I said Molag Bal 3 times in one sentance :o)

Werecreatures, they are more fun than vampires IMO.

Molag Bal is not the confirmed creator of Vampires. Vaermina seems to have a pretty big hand in things too. All infected have nightmares prior to the full transformation. Molag Bal has to get the cure from her(Why would this be necessary if he made them?). Vampires are often referred to as nightmarish. They're tied to the night, which is related to sleep and by extension dreams, also Vaermina's forte. I could see that story about Bal and Lyrae being either true or false though, so I'm not certain either way.

I'd like to see some situations as described by On Lycanthropy to be present in TESV though. People sitting in a bar, a beggar sitting over in a corner suddenly transforms and kills a couple patrons. Everyone(save a few foolhardy would-be heroes) rushes out and the owner locks the door behind them until the guards and a professional can deal with the situation.

I'd like both to be in TES5, especially if it's Skyrim. Vampire clans have some seriously unique abilities. Having several werecreatures would be neat too.

I like to slaughter them both though.

I prefer Morrowind's werewolves to their Vampires, but Morrowind Vampires to Oblivion's.

I prefer vampires. They feed on human blood, look scary, roams around at night, what's not to like?
Besides. I find the werewolf too overpowered, and it's not calculated by the characters skills.

I gotta go with vampires. They're more civilized, and stereotypically can carry centuries of wisdom. As a were beast, you change form in such a brutal fashion, with your clothing getting shredded. You claw your way through sewers and the dirty underbrush; when you change back, you're naked and probably smeared in your victim's blood, and mud. The only downside to me proclaiming vampires to be better is that people know that you're a vampire, with one look. You can hide lycanthropy, if your luck hasn't run out yet.

Vamps aren't immortal either. All creatures only live so long as the PC doesn't find them(Which they will).

Well, considering that I am the PC I don't think that's too much of a problem... ;)
