It seems unfair that werewolves get a resist disease 100% with virtually no consequences.

Resist disease is pretty much pointless, isn't it? All it does is save you from having to carry potions of cure disease with you.

[Trapezohedron]

Well, you are right. I think there are only about 6 - 8 diseases in this game. Compare that list to morrowind, and you'll find it seriously lacking.

That said, vampires do get the resist disease buff, but they have a ton of penalties to go with it, and their special vampiric ability isn't worth it, aside from roleplaying purposes.

[Sordid]

I don't really mind the penalties all that much, or even the fact that you don't get damage resistance as a vampire. For me it's this weird, reverse gameplay mechanic whereby feeding makes you less powerful. What's up with that?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Vampires are capable of using their powers without the game's 9*10^9846792 essential NPCs that they've placed in pretty much every single village, farm and random house becoming hostile. I don't think I've had one run through the countryside as a werewolf where I haven't run into someone I can't kill who'se hostile.

A video of my character in 3rd person, played on Master.  Was quite a large battle.. tons of Forsworn, my group of 4, and a Frost Dragon.



I'm thinking about starting a commentless (I have no mic) Let's Play here once the school semester is over, using a Breton Conjuror who gets into the thick of things with summons and summoned weapons, using light armor.  Played entirely on Master and in 3rd person.  Whatchoo guys think? Should I?

Lvl 40. I now eat dragons for breakfast, and I two-shot deathlords.

But... I still haven't seen EVERY cave yet! I also noticed why the game-illusion-breaking things stand out so much. It's because there is actually a really big game illusion to begin with. I get sucked in and AM inside Skyrim. Getting thrown off every time an NPC repeats his previous statement is irritating because there's actually something to throw you off.

I hate/love Skyrim, for the time being.

Bah, bit of an annoying glitch has brought me to a standstill in the quest I was doing. I was having fun, too.

Spoiler: It involves Greymanes and nasty Battleborn in Whiterun (click to show/hide)

So, at Avulstein's request my stealthy khajiit crept into house Battleborn to track down any evidence that his brother yet lived.
A couple of the inhabitants got in my way, and naturally, were put down. I find the document and sneak back on out into the night, making my stealthy way over to House Greymane to avoid any guards. I go inside, wake Avulstein, (Who was, somewhat disturbingly, sharing a bed with his mother) and he promptly draws his axe and attacks me, with no provocation whatsoever.

I'm guessing it's a bug caused by my high bounty for killing some people?
Does this mean there's another hold my poor, misunderstood Khajiit has to cross off on his 'safe to visit' list?

I just broke into the house during the day, had a nice chat with the inhabitant and took the evidence. No bounty gained. Dont know why he would attack you though.

B-but... But... That's no fun! I broke in, crept through the place stealing anything shiny and knifed the one person who spotted me, then stabbed the hell out of the only other person, who I found having a snooze, just to make sure. I'm kinda surprised neither of them were protected NPCs.

Does everyone in a city telepathically know when you commit a crime?

Goes to show that there's a bias in both vampirism and lycanthropy, with the bias leaning heavily on the wolves. Why didn't they just remove most of the vampiric debuffs to make it playable? It seems unfair that werewolves get a resist disease 100% with virtually no consequences.

This isn't some MMO that needs perfect balance.  Choose vampire if you want a greater challenge, otherwise don't.

Actually Werewolves have a vulnerability to Daedric weapons.  Not that any enemies ever USE daedric weapons..

[Greiger]

Would be a minor little downside to being a werewolf if you couldn't use any of the stuff they are weak against.  No silver rings, amulets or swords, no daedric armor or weapons.  The big one would be no daedric stuff.  Because even with light armor, daedric weapons are still pretty much the best stuff you can get.  That way if you choose to be a doggie you are limited to Ebony weapons and dragon armor.

Isn't the point of lycanthropy in pretty much every legitimate story in which it exists the whole "Uncontrollable" thing? The only other case where I can think of werewolves able to transform at will and having complete control over it is Twilight.
