What do you think is better? The Werewolf form or the Vampire Lord form?
Question, which would be better for evil characters and which for good?
companions are good and werewolves, vampire clans are all evil. 1 or 2 non-evil vampires exist depending on how you look at it, and they are not necessarily good either.
@187.207.109.7 I guess it depends on the definition of Good and Evil; after all, both are seen as evil to most NPC's. And depending on how you play a character, you could play as either a good or evil role and have it work for you. Really up to you.
I would just like to point out that I clawed a frost troll to death as Vampire Lord, the werewolf melee is stronger, but it's not like vampires are glass canons.
I was very stuck on this as werewolf is so fun but vampire is so powerfull, I fixed my problem by being both (yes it is posible on pc) by using the console i aquired both powers its slightly glitchy and if you want to be a vampire you need to use vampire lord after werewolf to regain vamperism (and vise versa if you want to stay mortal) but i would recomend looking up the comands if you are rearly cant choose.
meh vampire lord was kinda fun, but the sun and fire weaknesses sucked, you very dependent on the skill tree to make it combat effective (especially at higher difficulties), werewolf is much more powerful and useful, combine this with hircine's ring you are given a chance to fight foes that would normally kill you pretty fast in human form, werewolves have better speed, better health and higher melee dps, also my personal bias against vampires as they did nothing but grate on my nerves (destroying the the vigiliants of stendarr, randomly attacking me, randomly attacking towns and killing nps) so i was all too happy to send them straight to hell with dawngaurd, i guess the whole vampire thing is fun if you wanna rp an "evil" character, but you become hated by 95% of the npcs in game and the weaknesses suck too much, i would say the only vampires i liked were sybille stentor and serana, babette i just found too creepy lol
Personally, I think it depends on your character. Werewolf is what I choose for most of my melee-oriented characters, while Vampire Lord is for my casters & hybrids.
I'm currently playing Orc that specializes in 2-handed, and have found Werewolf form to be great, especially when coupled with Berserker Rage. Also, being able to travel at great speeds almost indefinetely, is especially useful, considering I don't use restoration very much and haven't specced respite for the stamina regen.
Anyway, it really comes down to what you can get out of each transformation, relevant to your particular character build. It would be, however, ridiculous to commit yourself to either form, as they are both great in their own way.
Werewolf/Beast Form is better to have than Vampire Lord form. Werewolves are stronger faster and better in every way. Werewolves are very good and stronger at combat in my opinion and their roar/shout will make all even the strongest enemy run away especially if you have the perks. Transform into a tomb or in a mission that your having a hard time with and roar, everyone will run away making it a lot easier to complete the mission, so just run them down and lay waist and feed to keep the transformation longer. It has saved my butt many times. If your fighting in werewolf form don't stand toe to toe use the speed you have and run around them while swiping and you will destroy them faster while taking less damage. Use your power attacks to knock your enemies down. They take a bit of time to pick themselves back up by that time you are pounding them on the ground laying waste. The power attacks can toss Giants ;D. The werewolves running speed is awesome you can run long distances very fast and you are not bogged down by being over incumbered by weight. Transform when you have too much crap and run half the distance back wait 24 hours and transform again. You can get all the way back to a city or town to trade for gold in no time. If you have the Ring of Hercine you can transform into werewolf form as many times as you want without waiting. Before using werewolf form cast Ebony flesh and your werewolf will still have the spell cast on himself until it wears off. So it will be like wearing armor in werewolf form. You can summon two other werewolves to fight by your side as well so too me being a werewolf is the most powerful ability that you can have in Skyrim. Vampire Lord form has it's drawbacks with sunlight and fire and their claw attacks are weaker compared to Werewolves. Werewolves also have rings that you can be equipp to make them stronger or regen health and stuff, plus you're a badass werewolf in Skyrim what more do yo uwant ;D.
