The quest giver who can give your character a werewolf bite in Update 49 has a line which highlights how important stealth and strength are to lycanthropes:
We're getting a rework to Werewolf in June (presumably Update 50) with new models, combat adjustments, and new animations. That could be the update we get the ability to sneak!
I think that's great for a game like morrowind where you are in werewolf form all night. in eso and skyrim you have a short time limit that is extended by attacking and feeding. stealth is currently at odds with the playstyle.
who knows how werewolf will change with the rework. i'm thinking it will be very similar playstyle to what we have if it is similar to the DK rework. I hope they change it so our hard hitting spammable isn't yelling at our target. that would make me happy.
