Twilight wolves

[achaley]

could some one please make a mod that adds twilight style were wolves to the game

[ihateregisteringeverywhere]

Which is?

 

You know, it was easy to understand what you wanted when you asked for a portal gun - because I know and love that game.

 

Now, there might be someone else that knows exactly what these twilight style wolves are. It's just that I wouldn't count on that. So please, do elaborate/explain.

 

I mean yeah, the chance of really getting that (of getting anything to be honest) is low, but people might at least bother commenting/proposing a different but similar mod if you explain your request fully.

The werewolves from the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer. The film was released recently. Rave reviews, world famous etc etc. The books are absolutely amazing! The Twilight wolves are Quilite indians, who can shift at will into a wolf form, and heal extremely quickly, move faster even than vampires, can see in the dark, are extremely strong, and extremely agressive in their wolf forms. In human form, they are taller and more agile than many humans, often with longer hair. It's something that manifests itself when a coven of vampires draw near, and allows the tribe to communicate telepathically through a tribe mind. Once it manifests, it stays with the person for life, and allows them to live forever until they make the conscious decision to stop transforming. It's an interesting idea. It would be good to have in Oblivion.

Well, you are already part-way there then. You never die from old age in Oblivion. ;)

 

I recall seeing an old OBSE plugin that allowed you to transform into an animal...might be helpful in the case to transform into a wolf...which the model and animations are already in the game.

sorry for not explaining it like he did new at requesting mods :blush:

[achaley]

transforming into a wolf not exactly what im looking for im looking for a were wolf mod that give you the same looks and powers as the ones in the twilight saga

[CaptainNuge]

But they haven't been shown on screen yet, so maybe if you gave pictures of what you wanted, that would make it easier for people. Stick in some reference material.

this is all the info i have on twilight style were wolves Speed Like the vampires, werewolves are also superhuman in their ability to run. Jacob even compares it to being better and faster than a motorcycle, and thinks that the ability to run so fast is “The best part,” of being a werewolf.

 

Even in his human form, Jake seems to have developed more speed: “Then he turned and sprinted through the parking lot, across the road, and into the bordering forest. He flitted into the trees, swift and sleek as a deer.” The comparison to the vampires here is quite clear and Bella herself notes that being on Edward’s back as he runs is “A hundred times better than the motorcycle.”

 

As the wolves could catch Laurent it appears that they are even faster on their feet than the vampires are. Bella says: “I couldn’t imagine that—the wolves running faster than a vampire. When the Cullens ran, they all but turned invisible with speed.” It seems that speed is their real weapon, along with the exchange of thoughts within the pack.

 

Their reflexes are also immensely fast: “With stunning speed, Jacob yanked a can opener from the counter and launched it at Jared’s head. Jared’s hand flicked up faster than I would have thought possible, and he snagged the tool just before it hit his face.” They are certainly quick enough to tear apart one vampire as a pack, regardless of how strong that vampire is.

 

[edit] Strength Their movement is in “powerful bounds” as a wolf, but also as a human there seems to be a difference in strength. Bella notes that Jake handles her “too roughly” and when he hugs her it’s with a “crushing” movement so that Bella “can’t – breathe.” He doesn’t seem aware of his additional strength like the vampires are, but this could well be due to the newness of the changes he has experienced.

 

Like the Cullens, once Jacob is a wolf, he exhibits similar displays of strength: “He slid his arms under me and lifted me without effort—like picking up an empty box.” However, before the transformation has happened he is restricted to putting his arm around Bella and helping her back along the trail after her motorcycle accident.

 

When Jacob discusses being a wolf with Bella later in the novel, he explains: “It’s what we’re made for, Bells. We’re strong, too.”

 

The sounds that the wolves make are also linked with both strength and ferocity, for example, their growls are described repeatedly as “ like thunder”

 

As an inexperienced wolf like Seth was able to single-handedly handle a slightly more experienced vampire like Riley, it can be assumed that werewolves have the advantage over vampires.

 

 

Part of the strength of a werewolf is that he (or she) is not a single entity, but part of a pack. They are stronger as a group than they would be alone. They communicate through the fact that they “hear each other’s thoughts, but only when you’re wolves”, and during fights, like those we see at the end of ‘Eclipse’ they can alert each other of danger.

 

They are more than a team. There are “no privacy, no secrets" between them and this makes them stronger. As Edward puts it: “The pack mind is mesmerizing. All thinking together and then separately at the same time. There’s so much to read.”

 

[edit] Physiology The skin when they are in human form is “burning hot”. Bella feels this first when she believes Jake has a fever on the way home from the trip to see the movie. “Whoa, Jake—you’re burning up!” but it is common enough for his body to be consistently at this temperature. Werewolves are clearly the polar opposites of the vampires, with their icy-cold touch and marble-like skin. Perhaps their physiological make up reflects the tension between them.

 

“We run a little warmer than the normal people. About one-oh-eight, one-oh-nine. I never get cold anymore. I could stand like this” —he gestured to his bare torso— “in a snowstorm and it wouldn’t bother me. The flakes would turn to rain where I stood.” Stephenie Meyer says this is one of the unique features of her werewolves.

 

They are also able to heal very quickly physically. Injuries don’t last very long at all. The actual transformation between human and werewolf is described in most detail in "New Moon’. Certainly the initial transformation is not an easy one, as Jake explains his symptoms to Bella: “Everything,” he whispered. “Every part of me hurts.” Initially, I thought that this must be physical pain that Jake was experiencing, but Stephenie explained that this wasn’t actually the case. “The transformation into the wolf form is not a painful process, only disorienting and mentally uncomfortable.” It is mental pain that Jake is referring to, from the fact he has realised that he is both a monster and the implications this has in his relationship with Bella.

 

The transformation itself can happen at any time, and isn’t dependent upon a full moon. In young werewolves cases, they can change involuntarily because of lack of self-control: “What would happen…if you got too mad?” I whispered. “I’d turn into a wolf,” he whispered. The effects of this sort of transformation is shown in the relationship between Sam and Emily and the disfiguring injuries she has suffered.

 

Transformation is a sudden process and is described through a series of violent words: “burst”, “exploded”, “vibrating violently”, “ripping”, “blasted”. It is so sudden “that if I’d blinked, I’d have missed the entire transformation” Initial transformations seem to be triggered by anger, and Jake explains that his own conversion to becoming a werewolf was staved off by his happiness with Bella: “I was like a time bomb. You know what set me off? I got back from that movie and Billy said I looked weird. That was all, but I just snapped. And then I—I exploded. I almost ripped his face off—my own father!". Sam Uley’s transformation also supports this, as it “took him two weeks to calm down enough to change back.”

 

Jacob seems to find phasing between wolf and human form easier than most. “Even Sam couldn’t have phased on the fly like that. He saw Paul losing it, and it took him, what, half a second to attack? The boy’s got a gift.” He explains later to Bella that this may be due to his ancestry: “It takes some practice to phase back and forth but it’s easier for me… because Ephraim Black was my father’s grandfather, and Quil Ateara was my mother’s grandfather.”. Because his lineage is so very strongly linked with the last pack, it seems to be easier for him than most

 

Werewolves are only created when there are neighbouring vampires, so that the Quileute land is always protected. Jacob explains that: “There’s no exact age…it just builds and builds and then suddenly—” It seems to occur around the point where the boy becomes a mature man, and is certainly accompanied by a sudden growth spurt.

 

Their sense of pack-identity is strong. So much so that they are capable of hearing “…thoughts—each other’s anyway—no matter how far away from each other we are. It really helps when we hunt, but it’s a big pain otherwise. It’s embarrassing—having no secrets like that.” Even in wolf form, they retain full control of their human minds. “They are still themselves–not at all the feral, mindless werewolves of other mythologies.” This means that all actions are knowing actions, although it is entirely possible for a werewolf to lose his temper and for him to be out of control as both a human and a wolf. Jacob shows his human side in wolf form on the run up to the fight with Victoria, when he pulls a face with “his tongue lolled out the side in a wolfy grin” to make Bella giggle. “Jacob’s grin widened over his sharp teeth.”

 

Werewolves were believed to be only male until the transformation of Leah Clearwater, which surprised everyone, even though “she’s a direct descendant, all right.”. The issue of imprinting is also critical as this is how the werewolf finds the one person they are destined to be with forever: “It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her.”

 

Their sense of smell has adjusted to help them identify their one enemy. “Vampire,” he spit out…“I can smell it! Dammit!” It is not clear whether it is heightened in other circumstances, but they certainly know vampires from a distance and find the smell sickly sweet and repellent.

 

Like vampires, they are also very strong; Bella breaks her hand punching Jake: “It was broken, I could feel it.”

 

Finally, someone has the wolf inside them for life: “What I am was born into me” (EC4), and whilst they are still mostly wolvish, they “can’t… grow up,” and stop aging. Jacob explains that this is only until they “stop phasing for a solid length of time [then] we age again.”
