(Although I was under the impression Bay12 was all about the flavor and not the hard rules, but I've also noticed people can be loose with their tastes if it means getting another way to have a problem with something they don't like)

I'm quite sure that most people have said being a werewolf is pretty cool and has no or minimal disadvantages. I'm not sure why you think the prevailing attitude is anti-wolf.

They do have one disadvantage: No sleeping bonuses. Sleeping can give you a 10% bonus to learning all skills, which with the lover stone makes for 25%, or a 30% bonus for one skill with a guardian stone. Or if you're married, 15%, but no lover's stone stack. Note: this conclusively proves that if you have the lover stone activated, you are a pimp and are sleeping with some chick (or dude, I guess) whose name you don't even remember, every night.

Let's not even go into what your character must be doing while waiting...

There's apparently a dragon population problem in Skyrim, right? I think you've found the source.

when I came back, my character would be shirtless. I just could NOT get my character to keep his shirt on.

The sparkling vampire hypothesis grows stronger....

One other con to being a werewolf

Anyway...

I don't mind werewolf. At least it has some uses. Vampire seems extremely useless, considering you get the debuff half the time when inside a freaking dungeon.

[Neonivek]

It is conceivable to make the vampire useful IF your a great illusionist as well.

I can't think of many other ways.

Plus you would also need to hug fire resistance like it was the air itself.

[Greiger]

I just don't like the werewolf form because I can do everything it does better as a melee focus warrior.  Every time I tried using werewolf form it just ended up killing me because the trasformation takes too long to be a viable "oh shit" button.  Whole time your transforming they are still beating on you.  Except you aren't blocking or evading.

Only thing I can't beat with other methods is the travel speed.

I know rite?

(yes I know it was posted before but funny)

[Neyvn]

Going to be starting again, thought I would write a story to it. If enough interest for it, I will do screenshots and an LP tale if it would be better suited then an occasional Excerpt of the tale...

Goal :: Redguard Brawler. Loner. No Weapons or Damage Spells. All Combat Damage must be from Fists. Bow and Arrows can be used as Distraction Tools only. Release the Beast. No Breath Shouts. Other suggestions welcome...

Yeah this doesn't work on Master difficulty...

[Sensei]

Hand to hand is completely gimped. It was useless in Oblivion and solely the providence of master players in Morrowind, but seriously, there's not even a skill for it now.

However, if you get the heavy armor feat that lets gauntlet AC affect damage...

[Neyvn]

I found some Dwarven Gauntlets with 24ac, and still was doing less damage then a Dwarven Sword...
What it is, is the lack of Stagger attacks, the power strikes with your fists don't stagger the target like a weapon does....

[MrWiggles]

Horses.

Horses feel like their about a third of the way done.

Majority of the things, that should be allowable with horses, aren't.

Dont get me wrong, I love the ability to fast travel when I'm over burden.

But...

I cant attack while horseback. I cant cast spells while horse back. I at least, want to cast the GPS spell.

And even if you buy a second horse, your allie cant ride it with you. That, there is fucking annoying, as you can't make your horse go at the speed of normal walking.

[Trapezohedron]

Indeed. And the horses have abysmal speed at normal speed, and low stamina for sprinting. Seriously, who tacked that feature on without iron the kinks?

[Kusgnos]

I vaguely remember someone rationalizing that the horses in Skyrim were draft horses--stockier build, not as fast, but were able to weather harsh conditions and uneven land better.

[nenjin]

It's in one of the books about Skyrim horses.

They're basically just one of those features, like sync kill animations. Serves no practical purpose, is there because it's expected. At least the modders don't have to port old mount animations and code, they have a working template.

[MrWiggles]

I vaguely remember someone rationalizing that the horses in Skyrim were draft horses--stockier build, not as fast, but were able to weather harsh conditions and uneven land better.

I'm fine with physical capability of the horse. They feel like the horse, that would be in the region.

But that doesnt excuse the other incapabilities of them.

I'd probably be less annoyed with the short coming, if they have an explanation. Like, a housescarl, cant ride a horse with their Thane, for fear of them being confused as equals.

And these arent war horses, so they'll freak out if you draw blade or cast spells on their back.
