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.)

I cannot see me ever doing the Companions quest line because I do not want my characters forced to become a werewolf. That aside, they also seem to be a bunch of arrogant jerks as well.

I thought Companions was pretty good until the werewolf part. The beginnings of this questline are awesome. I liked early Companions better than Oblivion's early FG quests, matter of fact. Then it gets to the werewolf part.

To this day, I'm having problems seeing myself roleplaying this with any of my current character ideas. Thor just wasn't the character to do it, as he was supposed to be a "sword & board Nord" who only trusted the basics: iron and steel and swords and armor. He went around trying to see if there was any alternative to the choice he was being forced to make, but there was none. It sucked.

Probably what I'll do someday is just do the werewolf thing just once (just to get thru the questline) and never use it again. Then I'll try to seek out that cure somebody talked about earlier in this thread.
