    I personally prefer Werewolves because they have access to the howl move

    They sould make a "higher" form of werewolf that allows you to have a weapon but also have claws and increased mobility. That would be cool

    Werewolves hands down are so much better. Vampires are for chicks (which isn't bad if you are a chick). Werewolves is the more manly route to take.

    Thats why its smart to be a Wizard/Lycan. Use your Flesh spells and high health  (If you opt for such, which I like to do if I am a Wizard/Lycan) as well as high damage to fuck shit up!

    I a real life situation (if they were real)a Lycan would win seeing how they'd most likely hunt in packs. In the game Skyrim werewolves don't really hunt in pacts but Vampires would win but only if they were Vampire Lords any other vampire better watch their back against a werewolf.

    I like vampires overall. They can use powers without transforming, the lore surrounding them is awesome, and it adds a bit of a challenge to the game. For transformation, I think werewolf wrecks vampire lord. The werewolf feels better, looks better, and is stronger in my opinion.

    I've only just got Dawnguars and haven't started it yet so my vote is a bit more biased, but I like the werewolves. I wish there was another faction for them, like having a pack of hungry, feral werewolves who prey on the guilty, but hey, can't have everything

    Thats probably the only reason as to why Werewolves suck. Companions questline is such a drag.

    Better yet they should have made werewolves attack more often and you catch a disease like with vampires

    Yea, I only fought like 7 wild werewolves ever since Skyrim has been out. They need more Werewolf action. There was Werewolves in Skyrim before there was Vampire Lords, I dont get why those pansy ass vampires get the spotlight?

    Yep, I fully agree. Should have had a werewolf-styled cult, where all they do is hunt, drink mead and hunt vampires >:D

    Maybe... maybe not....

    To bad I dont a PC to run Skyrim. If you do manage to do something like make a video outlining the story and what not. I would love to see what you had planned. In my opinion the greatest place for a Werewolf pack to live would be somewhere in The Rift.

    I love this Video. When I first saw it I was like... "Yea the Werewolves are winning!" Then all those Ice Storms screwed them over.

    Also, if you went by Vampire The Masquerade standards, a single werewolf could easily wipe the floor with older vamps.

    Vampires can enjoy being immortal and watching everyone they love die(unless those they love are vampire/immortal as well). We werewolves will enjoy hunting beside our lord Hircine in this life and the next.

    On the contrary Vazgen! Sinding is a Werewolf during I'll Met By The Moonlight and there are others during the Companions quest that were captured by the Sliver Hand. Then in the Dragonborn D.L.C, the hunters at Frostmoon Crag were also werewolves. Also, in Underworld they aren't Werewolves, there are Lycans, Werewolves couldn't revert to their human form in the series. William the First and most powerful werewolf actually teamed with Marcus the most powerful vampire in the second movie. I will give credit to the vampires in Rise of the Lycans though, the Death-dealers were awesome looking and are actually an idea of mine for a build.
