LE Sneaking for Werewolves

[LordSarcasm]

While many complain about the forced third person in beast form, that is the least of my own because I always switch to third person for melee anyway. What I can't stand, and have found no mod to fix it, is that any ability to sneak is disabled in beast form. Werewolves are meant to be the ultimate predator, they are the fastest, and strongest things on the map. But ALL predators know how to use their natural cunning and stealth to their advantage. But when I use beast form my fighting usually resorts to slash, throw, roar, slash, throw, roar.

 

The mod I'm proposing wouldn't only allow sneaking for werewolves, but also add some new animations like a stealthy wolf-style stalking, and special animations for sneak attacks like a claw through the throat. However if your character regularly relies on stealth for gameplay anyway, this mod might not be for you because being pretty big physically, a character would lose some of their sneak skill in werewolf mode. They would be easier to detect visually than in human form, but on the other hand they could be fairly quiet with a slight muffle effect on account of the werewolf's padded paws. The purpose of this mod is mainly to allow players to take out some of the more difficult enemies quickly before they go into the typical werewolf melee.

I've never seen "sneaky" werewolf on any lore.

Usually werewolves are depicted as REALLY big, noisy and deadly KILLERS.

Only sneaky thing with those is that they appear immediately when moon rises :biggrin:

But anyway! (I just wanted to point that out)

 

I think it'd be cool to have some sort of "fake" sneak for werewolf at least.

Maybe so that you turn invisible and deal horrible amounts of damage with your next attack? (Which will obviously break your stealth)

A bit similar to how druid's cat form's invisibility thing works in WOW.

Maybe it could cause fear on target too? (If he survived the ambush)

 

Custom animations would be really hard, but I think the already existing ones would be quite good.

> Complete silence

> Werewolf out of nowhere! Jumps on enemy, makes him fall on ground and starts beating him to death

 

I haven't seen probably all werewolf kill animations, but I think those would be really nice and would fit the Not-so-silent predator quite well.

Also, with this kind of "sneaking" werewolf could take out the strongest enemy first and then just finish off the weaker ones.
