Werewolf and Vampire were create by Molag Bal and Hircine, and are in the Lore. There are no other Bitten Races in the Lore (unless they have introduced such in this game) and no reason any Daedra would want to (apart from Sheograth who might do it to win a bet with a potato).

So it probably won't happen.

Well Hircine also made werebears,lions,crocs,boars, and probably other were forms so if there was a weresnake or spider I wouldn't be suprised at all. Its pretty acceptable for it to exist in lore.

I hope Sheogorath makes something. I want to be his minion.

There are the tsaesci (from another continent). Werebears, wereboars, and werecrocs... All listed in lorebooks past (some in games asnpc or playable). Id have no problem with them, excpt the tsaesci which should hsve been driven out by now.

or maybe a cheese wheel.


on another note as someone stated before there are werecrocodiles and werebears etc. will we ever see them? I seriously seriously doubt it.

So , you get bitten ... and then you become a naga ...

Well , being a RPG player , i will admit , that would be new. Usually nagas just eat people.

dodgehopper_ESO

Tsaeci are vampiric snake people, which is about as close to naga as i would see them do. Considering the last akaviri died, apart from imperial mixed bloodlines (ie: human) i do not think they would have a good reason to include them. Maybe if they give us the akaviri expansion i could see them doing this. Solstheim on the other hand has werebears, black marsh had werecrocs.

I would like to see the humans with the metallic skin (as npc) in some future tes game. In fact, alessian or merethic era could be fun... So could future eras.

The animations would be interesting, with maybe a +25% effectiveness for Grilled Cabbage as a passive, and a 5% weakness against people who haven't eat for two days.

I could be talked into zombie, if the concept was sold with conviction.

I cannot be talked into being turned into things that don't reproduce through biting other species.

Zombies in Elder Scrolls are mindless, there are Liches, but they require decades of preperation.

That was not a concept sold with conviction. There is enough large scale castle siege pvp that I totally believe is a solid framework for a zombie attack swarm mini game. It would definitely change and probably ruin the game as we know it, but somebody could conceptualize it well enough to survive a first draft and still sound like fun.

I wasn't asking for the pitch.

I was just saying that the strange creatures presented this far cannot through the characteristics of these strange creatures force their nature on their victims, even if it would be a wrench in a working engine.


I've played a *** of morrowind and skyrim, and I don't remember encountering any lich. Were they dlc? Anyways, what is their general deal, like specific strengths and weaknesses? Or do you know any details regarding their ascencion?

Lichs were in Morrowwind. I think they were a part of the Tribunal DLC...I could be wrong though. They were also in some of the dungeons/caves towards the end if you were spelunking for ores for gear crafting. Most of my guildies didn't think dwarven oil was part of the lore till I reminded them of the special armors from Mournhold. You actually go into a Dwemer ruin and get some adamantium for making a sword and armor and need some dwarven oil to make it with...I'm seeing Lichs in my mind in a cave/dungeon and ...was in Mournhold...sewers/dungeons there...I remember now that it was in the Sotha Sil questline due to the architecture of the buildings...and to this day Vivec and Amalexia hold a special place in my heart for murdering once DB comes out...what they did to Nerevar and Sotha...geesh

Lord_Hev

There should be Lichdom. Could make it function similiarish to Werewolf transformations. Just, purely magic exclusive combat while in Lich form.

You stole an artifact from someone becoming a Lich in either Oblivion Skyrim, which caused the guy to die (he was already undead just not stablised), there were several Liches in Oblivion Dungeons (mostly Aylied Liches).

The process involved transferring your essence into an object, then stabilising your undead body via meditation and magic, once stabilised they transfered their essence back into own body, and would thereon be extremely hard to kill.

Their strengths were that they couldn't be poisoned, were stronger physically (due to magic in body) and essentially immortal. Once the transference was completed they had no new weaknesses.

The Worm Cult was heavy involved with the Liches, but presumably the Aylied Liches perfected the process themselves without Mannimarco's help.

In Greenshade or w/e the AD bosmer zone you encounter Werebats, vampire bosmer turned into werebats through the worship of hircine. . .chew on that for awhile.

Cool, I imagine the benefits and drawbacks stacking would make it an interesting build.

And from a lore point the potential for conflict between Hircine and Molag Bal over who they truely belong to, hmmm.

Here's hoping they add radioactive spiders! *fingers crossed*

Morrowind had several Liches, however they appear in the Tribunal expansion. Skyrim didn't really have Liches, but they had Dragon Priests which are basically Liches (read, basically, not actual Liches). Oblivion is full of Liches though.

I disagree with Alex, Liches are vulnerable to fire like most undead and while they're magically inclined they aren't don't boast physical prowess. While the transformation occurs they are extremely vulnerable and if the ritual is interrupted the person undergoing the ritual will die. So while the poisoned aspect makes sense I don't see how they're stronger physically.

Actually I recall running into some Liches in Morrowind, it was in a Velothi fortress I believe, to the north. In fact I want to say there were two, one near Red Mountain and one further toward the northern coast. Its been so long since I played Morrowind though.

I mainly remember finding oodles of vampires in dunmer ancestral crypts my travels through the ashlands. I should find that disc and pop it in again.

I really wanted to see balmora in this game. And that one city to the south with st olms quarter this and foreign quarter that. Silt striders. Good times.


I missed oblivion, idk what I was doing with my life, clearly failing. Guess I missed the lich action there.

For any who might want to see what a lich tree might look like or want to support the idea of having a lich skill tree, please take a look at this topic
