[Request] Please allow our characters to become a werewolf or vampire!

I really wish people would quit saying to play TESO. I don't like that game at all.

Outside of my love for Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, I think I'd just enjoy something like this to have fangs as a Viera. It's the one thing I miss from being a Keeper of the Moon.

No.
Vampires die in sunlight and werewolves go berserk and are overcome with blood lust during a full moon. Neither of those are traits that belong on a player character.

Unless you want to spend all day hiding indoors or sleeping in coffins as a vampire only able to play at night, no.

Unless you want to lose control of your character for 3 nights out of every "month" of in-game time as a werewolf, no.

Those traits only belong on NPCs.

The mythology of vampires and werewolves is hundreds of years old, and interpretation varies greatly in fiction. None of these are things that HAVE to be implemented. It's not like the FFXIV version of Lakshmi has much in common with the Hindu goddess.

Yeah, I couldn't get into TESO either. I was disappointed with the faction system and how muted the Altmer were. That aside, you brought up an excellent point in regards to mythology. FFXIV could easily tap into the stories surrounding vampires and werewolves to bring us something pretty satisfying. I'm led to believe that the Castlevania games are Japanese, so that could be somewhere to draw inspiration from.

Well, if that's your take, then just go ahead and call your character a vampire. After all, no lore matters but the name, right? No code needed!

Usually, even though these threads are kinda like that beast that chills under bridges, I can look past it and agree with some ideas. This isn't one of 'em lol

This wasn't funny the first time, my dude.

Can you please elaborate? What do you mean by 'first time', as I've not made a thread about werewolves or vampires before.

You know exactly what I'm going on about. These troll threads weren't funny the first time, and certainly won't be anytime soon.

Let him have it, the amount suggests it might be his favourite (and possibly only?) pasttime. But I am none to judge him for it.

Twilight didn't invent the concept of werewolves and vampires...

Nor was it even mentioned in my opening post.

1.When did i say Twilight invented the concept?

2. Even if it wasn't mentioned in your post, the fact is that i was using it as an example. I could've also said skyrim or used a classic monster movie that contains werewolves or vampires as well.

And just because they are in other mmos doesn't mean they need to be in every mmo.

ESO has it yeah, but it works in a game like ESO where you are meant to be switching skillsets constantly, on top of having a limited amount to use at a time to begin with. In FFXIV, the werewolf form would probably just end up being "cute", and the vampire form, I don't know what it would do really. Anyway, I already got my werewolf costume from like 2 years ago I think. I can look like a half furry anytime I want!
