LE Lycanthropy Overhaul

[thattravisskid]

I've played Skyrim now with a few different mods, such as Tales of Lycanthophy, and Werewolf Mastery and finally Moonlight Tales, and they're all good in their own ways. They all have contributary perks that make them fun to play, but thus far there is no mod that combines them all in to a werewolf overhaul that could rival the Better Vampires overhaul for vampires.

 

I suggest a mod that encorporates these specific additions from these 3 mods (which to me are the best part of the experience of being a werewolf):

• Being made a werewolf by an NPC werewolf (contracting the disease).
• The encorporation of the moon system, where a full moon will force you to change.
• The ability to shift from werewolf form to human form, and back with relative ease.
• The ability to infect other NPCs.
• Customization of the werewolf appearance.
• Werewolf hunters.

These are the best of the mods I've played. They make it fun to be a werewolf, but like the Better Vampires mod there isn't a sense of roleplay you can incorporate in to being a werewolf, and being made by an NPC werewolf, having the cravings for blood and most importantly, being in a pack.

 

I suggest in replacement of the werewolf perk system in the tab menu, a perk system that you can use to level up yourself as a werewolf in terms of being an Omega, a Beta or Alpha, and having your own pack, or being a part of a pack. You can purchase perks to become an Alpha, by going through perks that allow you to transfer the disease, to strengthen your shifts etc. And with each rank as a Werewolf, your eyes will glow a different colour. Omega being yellow, Beta being blue, and Alpha, being red. And when in combat, in human form, the eyes can glow these corresponding colours for an aesthetic feel of the beast fighting within the body to give strength to the player.

 

More can be added because like the Vampire components to Skyrim there's a huge amount of potential as to being either a Werewolf or Vampire. There's so much lore that can be converted in to a roleplaying experience ingame, and there can only be improvement from now.

 

Suggestions are welcome, obviously. But should someone like my idea and want to elaborate some more, I'm happy to help with conceptual artwork and/or logistical data for levels and such. I'm no good at modding. If I was, I'd undergo this task myself.

Your idéa is lovely! I've had the thought aswell and I keep wondering WHY no mod-maker has concidered it yet. The suggestions I would like to add would be that you would be able to howl (The actual howling animation when transformed), and that you would be able to sneak on all four while in werewolf form.
