With Warden and bear Companion, do you want a Werebear transformation?

Thevampirenight

Well I think they should add playable werebears. They had them in the dragonborn dlc of skyrim and they should have been playable there but they were not.
I think with the warden and their Bear summon. Having werebears would be an alternative to werewolves would be neat and fit well with the newest class.

Varcarus

No

Yet doesn't fit in with any lore anywhere so it's a no from me.

Thevampirenight

Oh yes it does they are most definitely part of the lore they have them in the Skyrim dragonborn dlc.
There is even books talking about the werebears of skyrim.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Werebear

Lorewise skyrim is supposed to be teaming with Werebears. They are also the second most common Lycanthrope in Hircines Realm at least I think I've read that somewhere not seeing anything on that right now as I look for it.

Make it cosmetic only and fair enough. Judging from warden if they make it DLC it'd be the new bane of PvP.

Varcarus

No

But you see here, the difference is the year gap between ESO and Skyrim, it could have bloomed further along after the war ended but as current time period dictates, it's not part of the lore "yet".

ascan7

No

They are having problem balancing werewolf, how would you think a werebear could be? Both from a design and a balance perspective.

Proof that it's lore appropriate:

Doesnt have to meddle with balance. It can simply be a skin just like the grey bear of Wardens. Add in a sidequest to the Werewolf transformation story and you have your playable Werebear

Werebears are the most abundant breed of lycanthrope found in Skyrim and also inhabit regions such as High Rock, the Imperial Province, and Morrowind.[1] Legend holds that smearing Canis Root on the trees surrounding one's home will ward off werebears


Also Hircine has close to ties bears as well as Wolves. This has been supported, so to me it would break lore if they did not exist at this time.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Lycanthropy

The Hunting Grounds[edit]
Upon death, lycanthropes go to Hircine's Hunting Ground to hunt with him for all eternity. The Hunting Grounds are considered by some lycanthropes to be an ideal afterlife, but others feel that this denies them a true paradise.[8][2] The realm is made up mostly of dense woodland and vast grasslands and plains, as well as blood-red tributaries. Mortals entering these realms are typically hunted down by the inhabitants. During the day, werebears hunt the inhabitants and at night, Hircine announces himself with a pack of werewolves.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but that's not necessarily how "lore" works. AFAIK werebear-ism isn't something like the store "Divine Elegance" that (unless it was passed down generations) does not exist until the events around the Oblivion Crisis.

Thevampirenight

There is another reason why I think they should do it.
Miaqs comments in Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

They could in fact add them in with Vvardenfell, with werebear spawns
and a quest to complete something a bit different from the werewolf quest.
Given they can be found in Morrowind it would be a great opportunity for them to at least convince Werebear wannabes that don't have the expansion to buy it.

WakeYourGhost

The first thing I thought of was a Warden and their Bear doing a Fusion Dance.

So, with Sorcerer and daedra Companions, do you want a Weredra transformation?

No

now, if you'd said carebear...

Why do you need a bear just to match? Wardens/Rangers/Druids aren't just adept at summoning/befriending/manipulating bears. They are the masters of nature and as such many beasts are bound to their whim.

Lycanthropy on the other hand specifically refers only to wolves. The prefix Lycan is based on the latin word for wolf (Canis Lupus-- more specficially the Lupus bit, as Canis refers to all canines) A werebear would be afflicted with Ursinthropy.

There are werebears in the game and in the series. I would love to see more werebeasts in the game including some playable ones. I would also like to see anti-daedric Guilds/Orders/Knighthoods that are meant to specifically counter all the monstrosity.

That is not at all how it works. all form of manner of werebeast exist during the time of ESO.
At least know the lore before pulling that card

The OP is just saying for aesthetic and roleplaying purposes.
No bonuses, abilities, or anything like that.

I would love to see it as a crown store and/or achievement reward.
But it would be a pretty cool if it had a questline in one of the future Skyrim provinces

This is a simply Genius idea to go about implementing such a thing if they ever had incentive.

Aren't most Nords Already Bears? lol

The book Dealing with werewolves found in the world and its creature section of your library in eso do mention werebear so they already exist in eso time period

Maybe in a future update we can have different lycanthropes across tamriel?
Imagine running into a group of orcs and they transform into WereBoars
Redguard Pirates coming out of the water as WereSharks
A whole storyline revolving around a Nord tribe of WereBears
Sounds good to me

Would add more variety to the game for both Players and NPCs

Well given the datamined summerset dlc or expansion possibly going to be added later on they could add weresharks there.

i would rather want enhancements of the bear pet - for example the bear has his own small sill line you can use....or at least turn its ultimate into an AOE cleave to make it more useful

Besdies this different skins for the bear would be nice...
