Hidden Werewolf Changes : A thanks to ZeniMax Devs!

Thank you ZOS for the hidden Werewolf Changes!

The Dark Brotherhood update brought some wonderful changes to werewolf that have made a lot of things more interesting and fun. The largest of these being the black fur for the Berserker Morph (a long requested feature) and the changes to Pack Leader. Both of these are great. And just yesterday I was playing with guild mates, three of us transformed near the beginning of Wayrest Sewers during the Gold Pledge, and we had the most amount of fun as werewolves ever! Due to the changes we were able to stay in form indefinitely and cause some serious damage to every boss and enemy together!

But there are some changes that were not listed in the 2.4.5 patch notes! I have listed these below, the ones I have found so far that is.

• You can now bite players at the werewolf shrines without having to walk away from the shrine to lose some of your timer! You can bite them right away, the “X to Devour” option no longer needs a depleted timer in order to activate! This has been an issue for a very long time, I even decided to make a youtube video tutorial showing people how to bite because of this, because nearly every day I had to coach someone in how to bite their friend because of this “bug”. Though it technically wasn't a bug, since in combat you can only devour when your timer is lowered since that is the whole point. However, it is extremely nice that when sharing the gift of Hircine, this requirement is now ignored!
  
• Using doors as a werewolf now has a swipe animation, which is kind of cool, its like they attack the door to open it rather than just stand there and disappear. I think this is a little more dynamic, and any additional animations for werewolves is always welcome in my opinion!
• EDIT: New since the One Tamriel update! We now have an animation when picking up resources! See screenshots in post below.

Hehe, the swipe at the door. You also do this when you close a pinion on a dolmen, or just when you're collecting butterflies. :P

Awesome! Had not tested this yet, will do so now! A werewolf swiping butterflies, I've got to see this

Wouldn't normally double post, but there has been another hidden change!
Now when in werewolf form, when picking up resources, we get down and pull them up with our teeth! Fantastic


Thanks for another cool change that wasn't mentioned!

And another one! I believe this came with One Tamriel, and that is a new emote that works with werewolf form!
So far all we have had is /playdead, drawing and sheathing weapons, and now we have /crouch! This performs an idle animation that you see NPC werewolves do. Basically looks like they are eating something while on all fours.
I showed it in a video for my guild, go to 11:11 to see it in action:

I suggested we have more than one emote in my werewolf improvement thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/239891/my-suggestions-for-improving-werewolves-new-suggestion-added-for-one-tamriel-update
So thank you for adding one more!

Try opening a normal random loot chest while you're furry.

Werewolves apparently have fantastic dental plans.....
