As stated previously, neither of those "links" confirm jackshit. And that quote from Todd Howard doesn't confirm anything either - if anything that comment simply launches the subject matter into a more vague and unconfirmed status than what it already was PRIOR to the interview. The only logical explanation for a comment like that is A) they (vampires and were-creatures) are unconfirmed (i.e. NOT confirmed), because they are still under development / Bethesda is still toying around with the idea but aren't sure they will be included in the game by launch date, or B) They ARE NOT going to be included (and Bethesda already knows this), but aren't publicly acknowledging this yet because marketing research and fan response has clearly indicated a HUGE interest in this topic, and by admitting they will not be included now will subsequently piss a fuckload of people off. Otherwise, why would they not just openly admit that they will be included if vamps and lycans are going to be in there ??? Think about it - they have already revealed TONS of stuff about this game in both gameplay videos and interviews. Fans and gamers are your market base = sales = revenue for Bethesda = Bethesda staying in business. Period. That's how it works. Knowing damn good and well that there is high interest in this topic by gamers and fans, if they were going to be included they would be beyond stupid to not already confirm this, much less reveal at least a glimpse in gameplay footage. I will be VERY surprised if they are included. . . ..
