How should other Lycanthropes be added to ESO?

Other (please elaborate below)

for that matter, id like the other strains of vampirism added, especially the clans of morrowind, that way there is a vamp strain for every class build

Yeah, we need no more of these things from existing Elder Scrolls lore in the game, there's already too much of it... Let's get rid of everything that's lore-friendly!

Yay! Go Mr hyperbole, go!
Seriously tho, I wanna play as a dwemer construct so why cant I?

No, no, and no. As far as players go, I do not want to see any additional complexity added to player skills at this time until ZOS has had time to deal with all the current balls they are trying to juggle with the game. Maybe several years down the road, who knows. Far as NPCs go, I am not aware of any alternative "wereanimals" being in TES aside from werewolves. So to me personally, I'd find their presence immersion breaking.

@UrQuan I'd be interested to learn where other "were" creatures have shown up in TES games besides werewolves.

In a secluded corner of Solstheim in the Dragonborn DLC of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there are three Werebears.

Skip to 2:00 for their appearance.

Mostly in the lore rather than actually showing up in-game, but as @Ffastyl says, the Dragonborn expansion for Skyrim had werebears show up in-game:

And Daggerfall had wereboars show up in-game:

Aside from that, you might want to check out the lore book On Lycanthropy from Daggerfall:

Oh, and of course ESO already has werebats in-game.

So yeah, lycanthropes other than werewolves (and yes, I know that I'm technically using the term lycanthrope incorrectly) have been in TES games almost since the beginning.

Interesting, guess I got some reading to do.

It's lore friendly, make lycanthropes Part of the justice system. Add different werebeasts but make the rare spawns from GMs In new released zones.

It would also be nice if the added different strains of vampirism. Like one that had the morph in Skyrim or one that takes a penalty in the day light.

Did you just put 'were' in front of random animal names? Where's the LOL button? HAHAHA

Bro, do you even lore?

Something like that. I just don't see the reason to add more things to a game that has enough to fix. I not going to start a rant on this, just stating a fact.

I could see adding werebeast as wildlife or something. I simply don't see the need to play one nor have I ever heard of anyone being anything more than a werewolf, but hey what the hell I don't lore, hahahaha.

EDIT: I remember the werebear people in Skyrim, near the Skaal village.

Firstly: They should be added because it would be new "content" which we aren't getting now and without substantial content over the next few years, ESO WILL die.

Secondly: then why didn't you vote option "only as NPCs or MOBs" ?

Let it be known before all the inhabitants of the Mundus, the dwellers of Aetherius, and the denizens of Oblivion that we are - quite simply - not worthy.

While I agree there are other areas that require more immediate attention, I feel the idea could be interesting in the long run, one way or another.

For sure, it would be pretty cool if they release new dungeons or realms of oblivion which a focus on were creatures (Hircine trial anyone?), but ultimately who knows. Well, in Daggerfall you could actually become a wereboar, so that's a thing! That being said, no, the other were creatures were only made reference to in lore sort of thing.
