I think druid class would be great for eso even if it was only a world skill line you get from a quest that gives you shapshifting abilitys

Wyresses and bosmer, anyone? There's already evidence of shapeshifting in game, even outside of werewolves.

There's the DC quest that has you assist an Argonian in transforming to a crocodile; which for the record is, IMO, a very well written quest-chan overall.

All The Best

Bosmer, before "stabilizing" into their elven forms by forming the green pact with yffre, constantly changed form. There's a quest in green shade or Malabal tor where you encounter a bosmer who shapeshifts into a bear.

This could be a ton of fun. Maybe a meta game of hunting animal forms?

Plus, WoW isn't the only game with shapeshifting druids. Did NO ONE play Shadowbane here? Not 1 person?

"Form of... a butternut squash."

Cool idea, but no. (No dancing trees, thanks.)

Acrolas

Form of... spider!
*transformation animation bugs*
Form of... manbearpig!
*transformation animation bugs*
Form of... snail!
*game disconnects*
Form of... sweetroll!
*pays cashier $1.07*

Druids in ESO?
What a Wyrd idea.

I played the crap out of SB. I still miss it...

IIRC there is precedent for a race (Bosmer) to shape change, as well as those afflicted with a curse (Werewolf/vampire). An Imperial shifting in to a random beast though ... meh. I'd rather a Wyrd skill tree be released that has nature based magic, as opposed to shape changing in to leopards and dolphins.

Might wanna change title. It suggest that devs are working on a new class. More then a question

This. More nature skills, less class-based shapeshifting. We can add more were-creatures as well as separate skill lines.

I retract. If it has the effect of self-Wabbajack-ing, sure.

I see what you did there.

Well Bosmer as a Race can shapeshift into any forest creature. When they take the Green Pact they agree to not eat plants nor shift as long as the forest will protect them.

Those that do shift are exciled into a peat bog to be in limbo forever. So it's not unheard of even within this game for shape shifting, but its along the lines of a racial ultimate only I would think.

Similar to how you can ultimate into a werewolf you could shift into a werebear or werebunny or something.

This would have to incorporate racial ultimates though.

JesterH

Well Bosmer can transform to a "monster" when they are treated. But the thing is that when the "hunt" is over they consume each other and in the end themself. And violate the green pact they go to the Ooze. So thats the end of that transformation

They sell random skins that still show in combat in the crown store...

We have cat mounts, and soon bear mounts... and frozen horsies....

The lore is already trashed

No reason for shapeshifting not to be included
