Do you want to see Werebears and the option to become a werebear added into the game?

Why would anyone vote no for this?
Choice is a bad thing apparently?

Some may vote no because they don't think it appropriate, others might vote no because they don't want scarce development resources spent on something they have no interest in.

If asked the question "Do you want to see [something] in the game - Yes or No?", there are plenty of legitimate reasons why some people would answer "No".

I don't think he would have asked this if it was a majority of people that chose "Yes" to having it commenting. Perhaps you could articulate a reason as to why you voted no? Conversing and discussing politely is how we advance knowledge.

I voted no for a variety of reasons, including both the reasons I mentioned earlier.

Well, referencing your two previous points;

Appropriateness is very, very subjective. Why is it innapropriate? What about it seems unsavory to those that feel this way? This point is a little vague.

And as for better things, this is a resin of a currently existing design. Basically, the combat team responsible for changes to abilities and the QA team dedicated to fixing bugs are both seperate entities, as is a third entity that drafts artistic design. So "better things to focus on" might mean that you want more crown outfits, and that's totally fine.

Give support to the PC man-animal races getting their own were form before you go looking for werecubs.

Khajiit and Argonians already have their own were forms: werewolves. It turns out that everyone can become a werewolf. Problem solved.

The wording in your second paragraph is yours, not mine.

I've given my vote in the poll and said why. That's it so far as I'm concerned.

There are numerous were-creatures recorded in TES lore (although the wereshark may just be a rumour) and I've always been disappointed that we only get to turn into one of them.

I'd love to see a wider range of animals available, and this seems like the logical game for it since a lot of them are apparently regional variations (e.g. Werelions are only found in Elsyweyr) and this game lets us visit at least part of each province, hopefully one day all of them.

Also I wonder, if a quadrupedal khajiit became a werelion...would anyone notice?

Voted yes because I don't care either way except I want them to get what we have closer to perfection before adding a lot of new things although this is not likely to happen.
Suggestions for new things to be added are usually supported by about 50% of people on forums, and the other 50 that always object almost always cite lore in one way or another.
I think zos has shown they are willing to add, change, or take away to the lore if it bring more people to the game, so if werebears will bring more people then ya let's have them.

Different types of lycanthropes are 100% lore-friendly, so you won't find any opposition from that side. The only lore-breaking implementation I can imagine would be if ZOS gave us race-exclusive strains, as some people suggest (catcat and lizardlizard fans, usually). But I don't know why they'd do that, there's no real benefit.

Wait, no. I think he half bear, and half man-pig?

Bouldercleave · September 2016

No

I'd be in for a Weresloth.

Pro - climb trees, 360 degree vision, and can de-agro with cuteness

Con - 80% movement reduction, and forced to be magicka based because well, you are a sloth.

Mic1007 · September 2016

No

Next thing, we can become WereMammoths.

More so, I want a female rendition of the werewolf transformation. For male toons, the transformation is fine, but females have breasts and are not so meaty and large like the werewolves are. Maybe a small and more feminine appearance for female werewolf toons would be best.
-Sincerely, a female : D

If you can explain to me which of these are male and which are female, then you might be on to something, otherwise it's pretty fine as is in terms of gender difference.

If you want to focus on gender differentiation in real wolves, I hope you're aware they have eight *** (and an untrained human eye usually couldn't tell a male from a female).

If you want to focus on retaining human/mer/beastfolk traits in wolf form instead, you're going about it wrong.
My male Bosmer healer isn't "meaty and large" by any stretch of imagination. One of my female Argonians has barely any breasts to speak of. Lyris Titanborn, even though she has a classical female figure, dwarfs pretty much every male she's ever met. Wolves in two generic shapes instead of just one aren't really going to make it much more realistic.

edit: It appears the forum wants to protect us from basic biology. Who knew the organs necessary for breast-feeding young pups could scar us for life?

^ I would appreciate my werewolf chic looking like an actual female, yes. Ni pple quantity doesn't even matter so long as that masculine bulge in the crotch is gone! Please and thank you.

It will be good if they implate this, the pros and cons may be :
Take 10% bonus magic damage
Pros
: Physical damage is reduced by 15%
: while in bear form break free cost 20%

10%? vampires take 25% increased from fire and receive 75% reduction in regeneration. try again.

Also having a were-anything, especially a bear, that's magicka based makes no sense whatsoever. Bears are known for their brute strength, physical damage inflicted from gnashing teeth and claws.

Sounds like you are more concerned about a counterpart for t he vampire that isn't afflicted by the aforementioned obscene penalties.

also a world in which players have never to my knowledge been able to play a werebear. Certainly wasn't a thing in skyrim or oblivion, and perhaps my google-fu is not strong, but all my searches on the subject yield nothing.

They are 100% lore-friendly and people are still voting 'no'. I don't understand that.
