    <a href="http://www.elderscrolls.com/">The official Elder Scrolls site</a> has a <a href="http://www.elderscrolls.com/index.php?url=/codex/team_dunceswithwolves.htm&bg=03">preview/diary</a> on what seems to be the main feature of <a href="http://www.elderscrolls.com/index.php?url=/games/bloodmoon_overview.htm&bg=09">Bloodmoon</a>, the expansion to <A href="http://www.morrowind.com">Morrowind</a>. Here's a bit about it:
    <br>
    <br>
    <blockquote>One of the early decisions we made was that a player should be able to complete any quest in the game while being a werewolf character. Since the change only happens at night, it made sense that if no NPC had reason to believe the player was a werewolf, he should react normally to him. So, NPCs will only react negatively to a player who actually changes to or from werewolf form in front of them. This allows players to truly roleplay a werewolf character-hero by day, monster by night. The careful player can still complete every quest in the game, and he can still spend half his time terrorizing the populace. It seems like a cool plan.</blockquote>

    I still wonder about the whole <i>full control</i> while all wolfed out. Seems like less of a problem, but that's also discussed in this <A href="http://www.elderscrolls.com/index.php?url=/codex/team_dunceswithwolves.htm&bg=03">article</a>.

    Don't I remember a series on Fox or USA some years back like this? (Not Manimal!)

    Yeah, I think it was called... WEREWOLF. It was about a guy that roamed the world looking for the evil werewolf that bit him so he could kill that evil dude and cure himself.

    Earlier this year on CBS, wasn't there something called Wolf Lake? Why do Werewolf shows flop? Oh, that's right--nobody gives a shit about werewolves.

    I suspect the only reason anyone cares about them for Bloodmoon is that Daggerfall had lycanthropy and they axed it for Morrowind.
