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.)

Thanks for commiserating (spelling?) with me Treydog. Everyone says, "What's the big deal, you can always cure yourself at the end of the questline, blah blah..."

Well, so far there are three major quest breaking glitches on that questline that are widespread and make it so you can't finish the questline - meaning you can't get the cure.

When you say you are not ready yet, there is no reason in the world that whole questline should be closed off to you, especially since it is one of the more interesting ones.

Really fries my buns that they did that, and against their own statements about it too.

It isn't even that I would not enjoy playing a werewolf in the game - later, and of my own choice. I just don't like that you HAVE to or no more quests (after Farkas just got through telling you nothing like that would happen) - and I especially don't like being held prisoner till I give the answer they want (I was glad to hear you say that was a game glitch and not Bethesda's intention)



@ Fawkes - Er... what kind of fight? You mean when you try to cure yourself they all attack you? URK !!! If you don't want to put a spoiler up on here, can you PM me with it?

@ Everyone - thank you so much for your info, I really have to decide if I want to go back and take a chance that the questline won't glitch and stick me as a werewolf.


OH !! Also, I heard that while you are a werewolf (even if you aren't in beast form) that your spouse won't sleep with you. Is that true?

OH !! Just an observation. I also noticed that while you can't find a marriage partner anywhere else in the game almost (with the exception of every beggar) - that every one of these werewolves are on the marriage list after you complete the questline.

What is that all about?
