I was thinking that people are just talking about Werewolves, and don't even mention the Wereboar. I think that this was always entertaining, I would like to see this as a returned. I highly doubt that this will appear, but what is your opinion on it

No, Wereboars are native in High Rock.

Werebears for teh win!

Migration! :mohawk:

As cool as they are, I feel like they'd be a little out of place.

Go to page 2. Good day. Mods!

eh they are, but funny to use in my opinion

Wereboars are fat pigs that eat people. I rather be a werewolf.

eh, Fat badass pigs that eat people. Why not have both in my opinion?

Because Skyrim is a place where werebears and werewolves are common. High Rock has wereboars.

Is it said somewhere that they can't exist in Skyrim? A couple of them could have move towards there right? werebears would be awesome

wereboars? change -O- into -E- and im happy with that

Haha I agree to an extent, at least include one of them in the game as an easter egg. Would be an awesome quest.

Something as little as that would be fine. I just think they were funny in Daggerfall

Never played DF.

That said: boars are not domesticated pigs. They are strong, large, and extremely cunning/smart creatures. They are omnivores - they will eat meat.

So, yeah, on the list of creatures I don't want to meet in the woods, a fully grown angry boar is right up there with angry wolves. bear, and mountain lion.

Boars would be cool, bears would be better. Besides, I thought all the wereboars went to try and kill Duke Nukem.

I don't want wereboars, but I want werebEars !

Werewolves ftw.

Is it just or do wereboars, werebears, weresharks, and werelions sound ridiculous. I like the idea of werewolves only

Yes, werewolves are cool, and I definitely identify more with them than vampires, and they would be cool to play in Skyrim. But, and bear (pun not intended) with me here, it would be cool also to play as something new. Or, at least new to me. I don't know what all were-creatures were in Arena and Daggerfall.

I haven't played Daggerfall, but I personally don't care for the idea of a wereboar. Werewolves are cool. Wereboars? That's just...weird. :shrug:

Precisely. Everyone tends to forget that Man-Beast are human too. Any member of any race can be found anywhere on Tamriel besides their native province. Just as Argonians are more common in Black Marsh and can be found everywhere else so can the inhabitants of Highrock and Hammerfell that just happen to be infected with the Wereboar strain of Sanies Lupinus.

the "were" in all this comes from the old english "wer" which means man (I suspect that, in turn, comes from the Latin "vir" which means man). So technically they are man-wolf, man-bear, man-boar, etc. :shrug: I think wereshark is stretching it a bit, given that a shark doesn't even have legs, lungs, or hard bones.

the term lycanthropy comes from an ancient myth of some king Lycaon feeding his kids to Zeus, who then cursed Lycaon to turn into a beast (wolf).

Frankly, I would prefer new terminology - not "were"-whatever, and not "lycanthropy" as the disease name - because of the real-world connections. If the inhabitants of Nirn don't speak English, then what we read is a translation. So why not translate directly to english instead of using words from old/foreign languages? It's like the existence of a katana - the word itself means "sword" so it is kind of redundant. I dunno, that's me and my personal pet peeves. :shrug:

I personally think that they would be just a alternative along with werebears. Everybody talks about vampires and werewolves, but might miss the possible fun gameplay of a different transformation

No, Skyrim has Werebears. :stare:

Jeez, what is up with people and making Wereboars, which are people with free choice, such a exclusive?
