I'm traveling from Winterhold college to the Shrine of Azura - it's cold, I don't like (other) wolves and it takes ages. So I assumed the beast form because it can sprint way faster, and stamina regenerates at insane rates.

Is this a wise decision? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using beast form to travel faster? Do I need to kill people I meet to extend bloodlust, or can I kill a rabbit to continue?

Strangely, at the mine a 'fugitive' approached me and then asked me to store something. I was given two dialogue options (! as a werewolf) but could not do anything later.

  • I suggest changing "fast travel" to something else. "fast travel" is an in-game feature, that you don't seem to be referencing.

  • Note the fugitive "quest" is resolved almost immediately when someone comes looking for him 2 minutes later. The fugitive and his pursuer annoyed the heck out of me while I was facing a dragon, because they lock you out of commands until you finish speaking to them. (It has nothing to do with beast form)

If you're able to avoid people and maintain blood lust, it's not a bad way to go.

You can maintain blood lust by feeding on the corpse of anything that would normally have blood: animals and humanoids both count.

You'll want to avoid people for two reasons:

  • If they're particularly brazen (like a guard or fellow adventurer), they'll attack you on sight.

  • If you can't maintain bloodlust until they go away, they'll see you transform and you'll be marked with a major crime.

  • Thanks! Is there any way to know how long bloodlust is going to last? Are there people who are not intimidated by the werewolf shout (Z-key)? Because even the most brave that I encountered made a 180 when I roared ever so slightly :')

  • @Konerak You should be able to see the duration under active powers in the Magic menu. I haven't found an NPC who's not responded to the howl.

  • Ehm - the magic menu is inaccessible during werewolf stage - or do you know a way around that?
