Guard: is that... fur? Coming out of your ears? Me, a khajiit: Is that, like, a personal attack or something?

I just joined the Dawnguard as a Werewolf *Van Helsing INTENSIFIES*

Argonian with ability to transform into were-crocodile sounds pretty legit to me

Me: plays as an argonian. Guard: is that.. fur? Coming out of your ears? Me: *...dude I don't even have ears-*

Werewolf blood isn't a curse, think of that 100% immunity to disease.

I'm still waiting for 5 more secrets of mudcrabs you didn't know

A little secret of mine.. Those werewolves in Solsteim. If you kill them sneakily without them turning, and then use dead thrall on them, they will permenantly become werewolves when they get attacked. This gives you a permenant werewolf thrall. The only issue is if your thrall dies you can't thrall them again because dead thrall isn't supposed to work on werewolves. Have fun.

Guard: "Is that... fur? Coming out of your ears?" Me, playing as an Argonian: "Wait.... I have ears?"

It would be so cool if the Silver Hand could've been joined, as a rival faction to the Companions

Being a werewolf is more fun than being a vampire. Just my opinion. No, I'm not a furry.

In all of my time playing numerous characters in Skyrim, I have been attacked by dragons without being the Dragonborn, been assaulted by vampires without playing through the Dawnguard quests, but I have yet to encounter a werewolf in the wild unless I join the Companions. I have always thought that werewolves should have a greater presence in the game, especially on nights of the full moon.

The reason the companions have so much control over their transformations is because they got the disease directly from hircine. This is similar to how Harkon and his family got their vampirism through a ritual involving Molag bal. Both of these parties got their power directly from the main vine, and that’s why they are stronger.

The ability to take the form of a man-beast is actually called “Therianthropy”. The term “Lycanthropy” is exclusive to werewolves.

Skyrim: **Exist** Nate: *It’s free real estate*

You forgot to mention how the transformation is incredibly painful because the heart multiplies in size before the chest cavity does, as well as because the skin stretches and rips before healing. It is theorized that the bloodlust and insanity of feral werewolves is caused by this terrible and excruciating pain.

Ironically enough , the Imperial Legion suggests executing Legionnaires who are afflicted with lycanthropy , but you can freely turn yourself into your werewolf form during the Defense of Whiterun or the Battle of Windhelm , and General Tullius seems totally chill with it !

I love the theory that the Silver Hand are a splinter group of the Companions. I never thought of that! I wholeheartedly agree this is very likely!

I'm surprised we never actually had to fight against ferral werewolves as random encounters. Think about it. You hear a strange howl, you think it's another random wolf, then boom. Werewolf. Have them level with the player for a bit, maybe similar to trolls. Edit: I had no idea you could. Apparently in my two max level play throughs I've never really experienced the random encounters

Nate:"werecrocodiles" ME: "The....WHAT!?' Everybody gangsta until the werecrocodiles show up.

I absolutely love being a werewolf, The Hunting Grounds sounds like a damn paradise lol.

*Everyone else thinking about Elder Scrolls 6*: "I'm so excited for the gameplay" *Me thinking about all the new content for EpicNate vids*: "Yeah uh, gameplay"

I'd theorize that the Silver Hand was founded by disgruntled Companions, however they began to recruit bandits and other criminals to keep their numbers up: it would be cool to see a mod that presents the leader whose fleshed out and goes into dialogue before you defeat him.

How many species of animals do you want people to turn into? Todd Howard: YES

I'm a wereshrek and what are you doing in my swamp

I’m a werewolf and I really love moonday

Maybe the werevultures were actually Hagravens? The werelions could just be normal Khajiit who are the big lion type.

it makes sense that a were shark would fear water, the dude has probably woke up in the middle of the ocean like 50 times

Nate posting a skyrim werewolf video when i *just* started a werewolf build? *Coincidence?* I THINK NOT!

A symptom of Hypothermia is that people take off their clothes even while freezing.

You know what I always wondered? When you are a werewolf you give yourself away to hircine, but if I remember correctly you also give your soul to many other deadric princes or deitys. What happens when the dragonborn dies for good? Do the princes just fight over your soul?

“J’zargo only has so much room to carry things”

Funniest thing to ever happen to me in a playthrough was my khajiit turning in to werewolf and my game freezing mid transform. Imagine a horror film cat-dog !

Everyone freaking out about COVID: Me, a werewolf, immune: *laughs in dog*

I have a friend who just started skyrim for the first time, but in VR. I am his personal guide. I know many things about this game, because I have beaten it many times. But I still regularly come back to Nate's videos to learn things, and almost every video teaches me 5-10 new things, depending on the series. Thank you

Bethesda needed to do more in Skyrim with werewolves and lycanthropy

Dragonborn:(Joins imperials and has lycanthropy) Imperial commander:Get that vermin’s head Nate:Quick join the hunters on solstiem (Dragonborn joins hunters and discovers 5 things about werewolves)

I've always thought the silver hand to have been started by someone who climbed the ranks of the companions and was offered the beast blood but refused due to his own morals and then left the companions and started the silver hand to try and cleanse them of the werewolves and bring it back to how they use to be

I love the fact that werebears and werewolves are in open war with each other. It's a lovely little nod to DnD, and I always appreciate that. For those who aren't aware, in DnD, for most editions anyway, I won't speak for all of them, werewolves are evil creatures degraded by a curse and become more and more violent and animalistic over time, whether transformed or not. Werebears on the other hand are lawful good by nature, and generally speaking take it upon themselves to not only prevent the spread of their own curse to the innocent, they oppose lycanthropy wherever they encounter it. Basically werewolves almost always give into their curse after a long enough time, depending on the individual it may take longer, because it's a malicious curse and is born from vengeance or violence, depending on how you get it. Werebears on the other hand maintain a strong sense of self and duty, because their curse is much more benevolent, and could even be considered a blessing from a nature god to make them better guardians of the land, depending on setting and the traditions of the pack. The only major exception in most cases are natural born lycanthropes. They tend to have a lot more moral grey area, and adapt better to the beast blood because it was a circumstance of their birth, not retaliation for misdeeds or because of a traumatic attack. And for DMs out there that hate how black and white the alignments tend to be, as I used to be in this case, also consider that evil people are considerably more likely to become werewolves in the first place. To be a first or second generation werewolf, you would have to do something so terrible that someone cursed you, you had it forced upon you in the worst moment of your life and it ruins your life forever, or you were raised by pretty horrible people who suffered the above. It's hard to imagine a lycanthrope who isn't a terrible person until you get to at least the third generation, if not fourth or fifth. Werebears get to just be awesome though

It's probably been mentioned already in another video but I only found it the other day..... There's a Lord of the Rings Easter egg in Angarvunde, west of Riften. In the spike room at the end of the tomb where Medresi is killed, inside an open chest you'll find a broken sword, a severed hand, and a golden ring.

- "Werewolf!" - "Wherewolf?!" - "There!" - "What?" - "There wolf, there castle." - "Why are you talking that way?" - "I thought you wanted to." - "No!" Sorry, I couldn´t resist quoting from "Young Frankenstein". ;)

Nate, One small extra detail. If you approach Frostmoon Craag while in werewolf form, the beginning dialogue is slightly different too. If you haven't tried that yet. :)

I could swear I've seen "On Lycanthropy" in Vanilla Skyrim.

I was most exited about the werevultures, I can't imagine being able to "fly" (if it was in the game it would probably be floating) and swoop down and attack your enemies. Sadly I don't see that ever being introduced.

When i finally think i have learned everything about skyrim, Nate comes along to teach me some more.

I wish they'd made the Companions questline longer and more complex in Skyrim... The Silver Hand was an interesting faction, but they're kind of brushed to the side for the most part as the villains.

10:56 to 11:44 its a reference to the frozen man they found high up in the Alps, he was laying in that same positioning face down. wearing about the same thing. and seemed more geared for a summer trip vs crossing a mtn pass, the mystery is why he was there in the first place.

Nate: "Ysgramor" Subtitles: "Yeast-scum-or" Also subtitles: "Yeast-Cremora"

*Me playing as khajit* No one: Random guard: "Is that fur coming out of your ears?"

So I never actually joined the companions until very recently. So I didn’t know about the werewolf thing. But after I got it myself I also then found the man in prison who sends you on the ring quest. So I then joined him and we werewolfed it up together as brothers in fur and shredded the hunters. It was a pretty cool moment. Like, “Hey man, Your Not the only one.”

Would be cool if the different races produced different types of werewolves such as nords producing white fur to mimic snow or wood elves produce a brownish color fur to blend in with the forest. Along with physical appearance changes, they should also have unique passives: kajit having a smaller frames less health but able to sneak and run faster or argonian fur being like scales giving them damage reduction from all sources but move slower from how heavier your fur is

What's a werewolf's favorite holiday??? Howloween!!!!

"But first, a word from our sponso-" haha right arrow button go boop

Well, congratulations, Nate! You finally got me. I was completely unaware of the theory about the Silver Hand being a splinter group of the Companions, as well as the fighting between Werewolves and Werebears on Solstheim. Thanks very much for the information, and your thoroughness! This is why we subscribe. Keep it up, please! : )

I actually like the theory that there is more to the Silver Hand than we get told, and that they might be more than just menacing beast-hunters, but it makes me laugh that they would be so upset that the descendants of Yssgramor's Companions sport the curse of a Daedra when Yssgramor himself was no saint, and probably firmly in the control of the dragon cult. They want the ax that literally crushed an entire breed of elf, but fear that the Companions are tainted with lycanthropy. And maybe they won't go to Sonvgarde; that's too bad for Nords, but then maybe they won't get eaten by Yssgramor's master, ad Alduin seems to use Sovngarde, andcthe souls of the honored dead, as his larder. I don't know ifvsouls under Hircine are actually destroyed, or if he just keeps recycling them fir future hunts, but that might still be preferable to being eaten by the World Eater?

Reading through M'aiq's profiles between games are so funny for some reason. Fastest character in Oblivion, beating almost all purchasable HORSES

I hope you have a vid on Argonians coming in the future. They are fascinating, and don't seem to be featured much; even less than Khajiits. Of course, this is a Nord land...

So the Imperials have a 'guide' for dealing with werewolves... All the more reason to side with the Imperials as a werewolf! Which was what I had intended from the start with my second character. Stormcloak vampire and Imperial werewolf

Even tough they're rare, you might want to prepare for the werebears there... They travel in packs.

Gosh, I’d love if ES6 to allow players to become weresharks, werebears, etc. So much roleplay potential

That Imperial pamphlet on dealing with Werewolves... dang that's cold. ...who else lost a little more respect for the Legion reading that?

I've have always been a lycanthrope werewolves forever! Keep thoes diagusting vampires away!

Always be a cat wolf, or on the Switch just make a Nord and name him Hero of time and let him become a wolf

I really hope we get to see the Wereboars return in Redfall. Since it takes place in the same region as TESII: Daggerfall, I think it is likely.

* Walks into Astrid and Arnbjorn's room * Who's a good doggy? Who's a good doggy? Is it you? Is it you?

I always thought it would be cool if in the game as a werewolf player, you’re forced to turn on a full moon and all other NPCs become an indistinguishable glowing blob, so you don’t know who is good or bad, and if you’re attacking an innocent person or not. I think it would add to the confusion and panick of being a werewolf, where you actually need to track the moon and prepare for the change and either lock yourself up, go somewhere distant or medicate yourself and sleep through it. If you get lazy and forget you might try to fast travel and not realize that fast travel covers the full moon and awaken somewhere along the path in a monstrous rage, or be deep in a dungeon and just wig out in the middle of a quest. I want actual CONSEQUENCES for being a MONSTER!

Guard: I tell you. those werewolf stories are true Me, who just turned into a werewolf: Did you say something? I was just transforming into a werewolf here

when i first played the dragonborn dlc i thought werebears came from a random mod i installed

The fact that I couldn't become a werebear was a source of great heartbreak to me...

Nate you're a really articulate writer, and you also are very good with flow, grammar, and maintaining interest. More than that, you manage to convey a lot with your voice. And, you keep pumping out great content; way to go!

Honestly, Im really proud of/glad that you got a sponsor. You greatly deserve it buddy, keep up the AMAZING work

I have never connected the dots on Silver Hand in all my playthroughs... So I fought and ate fellow Companions? By Isgramor...

Good info Nate. Always something I haven't heard of or encountered yet...after almost a decade! LOL

Next video: Skyrim: 5 things you didn't know about barrels

While I was playing vanilla Skyrim, I killed a Silverhand member and found a Skyforge steel sword on him. That's when it first hit me that they were once a part of the Companions but did not agree with the beast blood. I still have a video of the first battle you and Farkus get into in the tomb (before you even have access to the Skyforge weapons) and finding it on him.

Majni: *is pronounced Madge-knee* Nate: MAJININE

Raz: I seen many things werebears, weresharks, werebears riding weresharks.

Ragged clothes are the clothes that lycanthropes wear after transforming Me:*looks at Narfi*......😐😐🗡️

I love these info videos. I've put in a ton of time into this game, and know most of the info, but these are well done, and every so often even I learn something new. Keep up the good work!

Imagine being a vampire

If the next game does take place in Hammerfell, we might be able to encounter wereboars and maybe be able to turn in to a wereboar.

I have read those books you mentioned on audible before I heard you. They are absolutely epic gotta say.

you can also buy werewolf enchanted rings from that camp that give you extra werewolf powers. this might only be for the special edition though.

By the light of the moon and our piercing howl We further transform into cunning beast By the circle of light to the evolution of men We shall be awaken as one with the land.

I've had Rakel and her clan attack me if I stick around too long, even if I was a werewolf... I wonder if it's another example of bugthesda...

A guard once asked M'aiq if he had fur coming out of his ear. M'aiq was confused, he always has fur in his ear.

It is truly incredible that you can still make videos that people love about a game that came out so long ago. Anything and everything you find is awesome Nate! Can't wait till elder scrolls 6 to see you break that down for another decade haha XD.

i want nate to be the priest at my wedding

My mother in law was the first werewolf. She saw Velonica become the first Vampire and Karened out out of jealousy

i could sit and just listen to you quote the phone book lol! love your videos but especially I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK!

I am pleasantly surprised that you continue to dredge up content for us. I wish I could give you some tidbit of info, but despite my...many hours in Skyrim, just about everything I know about the world came from your channel.

Last time I was this early, Bethesda Games were still considering adding Lycanthropy in Oblivion.

That was actually pretty interesting, especially with the werebears stuff. I honestly had no idea about that fact

Thanks Nate for keeping up the videos. Helps pass the time in lock down :)

It's very nice to still see proper Elderscrolls content still being thrown around

Would love to see videos about these 5 Factions you've probably never heard of Example: The Beautiful, an altmer terrorist group 5 Gods you've probably never heard of Example: Orkey, the nordic god of mortality 5 Facts about the Sload

Last time I was this early, Ysgramor still enjoying Nord Mead in Atmora

I love the enthusiasm in your voice :D

Me before every Nate video: “Pfft. why don’t you “tell” me something I didn’t know about skyrim” Me after the video: “oh neat. I didn’t know that about skyrim” Keep up the good work my man.
