LE The "Ideas for better werewolves" Thread

[Zenchii]

So, I made this thread both as a mod request for when the CK comes out, and as an open thread for anyone who wants to add ideas for what they would like to see in a werewolf improvement mod. Think of it as inspiration. :thumbsup: Post your idea(s) and then expand on it with an explanation/examples Etc. And try to keep it neat, please.

 

My ideas are:

 

 

1) More strands of lycanthropy: I was really hoping to run around whuppin' ass as a were-bear in Skyrim, unfortunately, all we got were werewolves. Don't get me wrong, I love werewolves in this game, it's just that the lore offers so much more in terms of Lycanthropy and the only one we got was the one that's most common in media. Would've been nice to have a different strand appear along side werewolves.

 

 

2) expanding the Lycan's diet: In Skyrim, only men, mer and beastmen can satisfy a werewolf's bloodlust. Alright fine, let me eat that Falmer, then! I mean, sure, they've mutated, but so have Orcs and they're still considered mer. And what about Hagravens? Ok, so they're half bird, but as a werewolf, I can eat a vampire.... and they were already dead before I got to them! (Technically) Therefore I reserve my right to hope that a Hagraven's age has lead them to age more like fine wine than milk, and eat 'em!

 

And last but CERTAINLY not least....

 

3) Keep them consistently powerful at higher levels: I've noticed that at some point, werewolves become pretty underpowered and become less deserving of the once per day limit at higher levels. I would change this by making the form buff your health and stamina by a percentage instead of a flat 100 Pts, make the werewolf form's melee damage increase with your level (assuming it doesn't as it is. I honestly can't tell if it does.) allow the fear effect from a werewolf's roar to effect mobs of all levels, instead of the lvl 25 cap we have now, and give a werewolf's claws a chance to cause an enemy to bleed out (Like the perk for axes).

 

That's all the ideas I have for now. If you've got an idea or two please, don't be shy and post it in the thread. The more the better. :happy:

i agree and also make forms of werewolf only avilable to the player not everyone and make other werewolves have random colors not just 1 color werewolf

[Simpson3k]

Would like it to have skilltree for shapeshifting and the infection with lycanthropy and the use of that shape(s) then allow you to improve in that skill, getting perks like improved or additional abilites in lycan shape, shfiting faster and such..

 

Hm i am sorry, i didnt reach the werewolf in the game yet..but I always liked playable werewolfs in every game i played, so yeah *thumb up* ^^

and it would be nice if you can sneak up on enemys its annoying that there allways knows where iam as werewolf!!

some new finshers would be nice and some sneakfinisher off course!!!

and its bulls*** thats the npcs allways knows who iam as a werewolf when i went near citys i instandly get a bounty but how?how do they know thats its me?know what i mean?

[hejpadig]

I'd really like an on and off button.

I feel like becoming a werewolf - Oh, wait, I need to wait a day!

 

It would be great if you had a ring which enabled you to transform while wearing it (need to be a werewolf to begin with) and the health will regenerate as in normal human form. This makes it much more enjoyable and don't have to bother and feel stressed about bloodlust.

 

Anyone?

3: It's possible to have a better leveling system for Were right now, at least until level 50. If you give me 'specific' info as to what benefits every 5 levels, making it balanced and realistic I'll do a mod for ya. Keep in mind it's changing values that can be done before the CK, but not scripting, so it's got to be simple, but there's a fair amount of flexibility to it too. Pm me the details, I'm terrible at following threads.

Seriously? Oh dear. I've never been near a city as a werewolf, but I remember reading that your werewolf form should hide your identity, kinda like the Grey Fox's cowl in oblivion. I'm gonna go check that out in my game real quick....

 

 

EDIT: Ok, I'm back. I fast traveled to western watchtower, got on my horse and rode northeast on the map, close to a giant camp. Transformed when the coast was clear, then headed to Whiterun to do some rampaging. No bounty was given until I transformed back to normal in the open with witnesses abound. Was this a one time thing or does it happen repeatedly? Because if it happened once, maybe you were just too close to a settlement. I remember one time I transformed in a place that I thought was clear, out of sight, yet still close to the city of whiterun. When I transformed, I got a 1000 bounty. I was like "WTF!?", looked behind me and noticed two farmers, crouched down and hiding in the nearby bushes. :tongue: I offed them without any further witnesses and it removed my bounty.

 

PS: One more thing, during my test, I've discovered that this song goes well with just about anything you do in werewolf form. Enjoy.

I think that's only if you transform in a city.

 

As for my ideas on improving werewolves... http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/494103-werewolf-overhaul/ .

[KingsGambit]

The ability to end the transformation early. The ability to open the map screen while shifted.

I can understand being unable to heal, enter inventory or interact with anything for the sake of balance, but the above two are annoying and unnecessary.

 

Really like Simpson's idea about a skill tree to improve the form.
