Why the lie? Forced to be a werewolf? Options

[mALX]

The official guide for Skyrim says you don't have to become a werewolf and can still complete the Companions questline. Farkas says you won't be forced into it in the game.

So why does Skor (spelling) and Aida the Lupine (spelling) force you into it? There was no way to exit the dialogue unless you choose to say "I'm Ready." No exit was showing on the bottom of the screen. The tab and load were both blocked from the ability to use them so you couldn't even back out and reload from there! And you were held in place so couldn't just walk out of the cave!!

The only way to get out of it was to agree to become one, then once out of the cave load a previous save. (Or what I did, QUIT the game to menu and then go into the load screen. I reloaded a previous save from before that second quest.


Is this a glitch or what?


(do I sound ticked? I am.)

@mALX- THANK YOU! I thought I was just missing something and finally checked the Wiki. (Which indicated the same thing- "Oh- you don't HAVE to- you can just go forward anyway.") Um- no, you can't. There are NO options for a different choice.

The only difference I had (on xBox) was that I was able to say "I am not ready," and leave. But it also meant no more Companions quests. It really annoys the... stuffing... out of me that there is not an alternate path. Have to wonder (because of the Guide and the Wiki) if one had been intended and then dropped to rush the game out.
