Does anyone know if it is possible to become a Wereman in Skyrim?

A friend of mine told me he got bit and turned into one? I am not asking for spoilers just a simple yes know will suffice!

If you can then that will be totally awesome!!!!

Saying wereman is like saying Anglo-british relationship, or sino-china war.

Yeah I know. Its like the ultimate in cool.

I can't wait for TV to catch on and start a new TV show based on this idea.

It's a whole new genre of horror!

No, it's not.

You can't become a wereman. You can only become a werewolf.

You might want to reword that.

Usually being turned into a "were" means you aren't human anymore. A "were" wolf changes to a wolf. A "were" bear changes to a bear.

So a "were" man would change into a man? Not too much of a difference.

Wereman = you're a non-human (often a wolf) that transforms into a human on the full moon / whatever. Opposite of a werewolf, actually.

Wereman?

What the heck would that be? A female who becomes male in the full moon?

There is man looking like a wolf, and wolf looking like a man.

Then I guess a man looking like a man is not entirely impossible.

Sorry, I thought there were Argonians and Khajits in this game, must have been thinking about a different game then?

I'm not sure if you're serious. There are Argonians and Khajiit, but... Well, they can't turn human every full moon. No weremen in Skyrim.
The only game I know that had weremen was Baldur's Gate, but they were called wolfwere.

Sounds like that game needs to do homework.

You realize

were = man
man = man

A "wereman" would be a man who turns into a man.

The prefix "were-" means "man-" already. Doesn't make sense...

You realize

Argonian = argonian

A "wereman" would be an Argonian who turns into a man. d to the uh!

Then I guess Baldur's Gate had it right. I mean, with the name "wolfwere" as opposed to "werewolf".

I'm a wereman.

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:49 pm

Khajit gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

Argonian gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

Elf gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

Sorry but I am a true role player and I love the idea of ifferent species becomeing a man.

Nah, the order of the words vary in each language, and to this matter you simply pick the most used form, werewolf.

Actually, you are referring to a standard cursed Shapeshifter. A person that was cursed into an animal form only to temporarily revert to their human form under special circumstances, they however, were originally human.
If you mean Familiars, they are merely animals that can talk and cannot transform, though some instances of myth claim their eyes can project a ghostlike human form of dead relatives as to not startle humans they seek to talk to. Catlike Familiars are the most commonly noted in myth.

Though, neither of which has been proven to exist, so it's really up to your own imagination.

-Due to constant confusion and poor translation into english on my part. I have removed and revised the following section.-

The origin of "Werecreatures" falsely adapted from the Anglo Saxon words "Wer" meaning man and "Wulf" meaning wolf. Originates from a sacred ritual to return to the form of your spiritual animal familiar. The name itself consist of uncontrollable, change/transform, and the animal name. Example: Feral Changewolf in English.

Now note, the concept of Werewolf is counter-productive to what the creature is. A Werewolf by definition is a man, that transforms into a wolf. When going by the name itself, represents a creature that is both, with no transformation, it would be it's own species. So, what is known today as a "Werewolf" is a false representation of the original creature and a creature of it's own.

Another interesting side of "Werewolf" is the act of becoming one, by simply being bitten/scratched by another Werewolf. However, the original process would require one of willing heart that is considered "one" with the animal they are to become, as the process is fatal if not the case. Also note, that the change is permanent, once complete, the humanity in the participant is sacrificed.

As neither representation is necessarily right or wrong as it is a fictional creature and both are more accurately labeled as Lycan/Lycanthropy, the delusion one could undergo such an impossible transformation. Take it as you will, I'm just sick of people thinking the creature itself originated with the Anglo Saxons, as the legend itself pre-dates them, they merely named what they thought they saw.

Anyway, that is all I have to say on the matter, as I will not be a target of condescending and insulting children that have a different view on a made up creature than I do, that take all their information off wikipedia. Granted my English was misleading and I apologize, your unpleasant reactions however, were insulting more to yourselves than to me.

Also, keep complaining about the color of the text, I don't care. I can read it, which is why I use it. You don't see me complaining that I have trouble reading your text, so get the hell over it. I'd rather just put the majority of you on ignore and be done with it. You don't agree with my view, I don't agree with yours. Guess who wins? Everyone, so quit acting holier-than-thou.

Khajit gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

Argonian gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

Elf gets bitten by a man becomes a Wereman.

No. He becomes a Khajiit-man.

No. He becomes an Argonian-man.

No. He becomes an Elf-man.

Or more likely, he stays the same only with a bite mark somewhere.

Were = a human male. Technically, a human could become a were-Khajiit if bitten by some sort of quasi-lycanthropic Khajiit, but that's just stupid.

"Were" is a worded representation of reverting to a feral, animal like instinct and mentality.

This quote is a worded representation of making stuff up.

Khajit gets bitten by a man becomes a Catman.

Argonian gets bitten by a man becomes a Lizardman.

Elf gets bitten by a man becomes a Elfman.

:rock:

You need to understand that "were" just means man. A Werewolf is a "man-wolf." Were- doesn't mean "changed" or something.

A wereman is a Man-man

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 8:12 am

So is a Khajit a man who was bitten by a cat then?

And is an Argonian a man that was bitten by a lizard?

I am totally confused and this is ruining Skyrim for me now.
