Blackblood's Roleplay Guide to Lycanthropy

Tags: #Role Play Guide

    I like writing werewolf stories.

    The Gift aspect can make encounters with werewolves mundane enough to not beggar belief; they can exist amongst society to some degree and thus provide the author (how cute, I called myself an author) with more ways to release the beast, Farkas' transformation being an example of that.

    The Curse aspect has the usual stuff: feral werewolf harassing villagers, the lone wolf (pun... intended) with the heavy heart, and werewolf hunters. The unassuming farm boy/girl could be attacked and become legend in a normal way, and frightening because it would be normal within Tamriel.

    And there is the coven. I found the cure to lycanthrophy more intriguing than the cure to vampirism because it could be told to all age groups. Everyone knows witches are dangerous. Right? Right?

    A black soul gem? What normal person would even know how to acquire a black soul gem?

    I think being a werewolf is a Gift nobody will bother me and I can kill everything.

    A very good guide. Sadly, my werewolf character doesn't seem so interesting compared to this list, since he took Lycanthropy as a tool in his arsenal, rather than a bond with his feral side. He uses it just like he uses his shield and axe, albeit with a bit more locational discipline, to avoid people witnessing his transformation.

    Very pleasant surprise to wake up and find out my guide has been featured.

    I might do a Werewolf build in sooner in the future in honor. Perhaps Hircine's champion will be next.

    Well deserved too. I would not have seen it had not Legion featured it, would have missed out on the inspiration. It is now so tempting to roll a wolf but I know I have only a few hours left. Not long enough to get stuck in properly. But Damn! Want to go down The Curse road so badly right now, live in the wild like a hermit

    It's a very fun play through. To be feral and kill and slaughter through Skyrim as a wanted beast with a bounty.

    I have to admit Blackblood, this is an incredible piece of work here. You’ve really delved into the beast and pulled a fair few interesting ideas. It’s come together really well.

    I particularly like the fact that you made both controlled and feral both viable, shall we say opportunities to be great play troughs.

    Well done and congrats to having this featured.
