Esreverian - The Game

A. Just as the legends state, to become either one, you have to get bit. Every time one of these successfully hits you, there is a small chance of contracting the disease. So, just find one, save your game and take the punishment for as long as you can take it, heal, take it some more, and then rest. You'll see a video if you've got it. Within days, you'll have all the advantages and disadvantages of being a were or a vamp. If this fails, just reload before you took the beating, and do it again.

2. Why do I just die instead of becoming undead?

A. Besides bestowing vampirism, vampires can also transmit a fatal disease. Sometimes you'll get both. This will kill you even if you have successfully contracted vampirism. You'll have to either reload and try again, or get cured and try again.

3. Where do I find these weres/vamps?

A. The fighters guild has a quest asking you to hunt down a were, though it could be either a wolf or a boar. There's a main quest in which a maid in Castle Daggerfall sends you to a dungeon, where there is always at least one werewolf. There is also a wereboar in the quest for the Hircine Ring.

Scourg Barrow, which you'll be sent to during a quest for Princess Morgiah of Wayrest, has a few vamps. Other than that, you basically will see these monsters randomly as befits your level.

4. How do I get Hircine's Ring to work?

A. The purpose of Hircine's ring is to remove the disadvantages of being a were. If you are a were, and you equip it, you'll never feel the need to hunt the innocent, nor will you change against your will when at the full moon. You can also change as many times a day as you wish.

If you are not a were, it will do absolutely nothing.

5. Being a vamp/lycanthrope is too boring/easy. How do I get cured?

A. There are several ways to go about this. One way is to wait for the letter from the hunters for directions on how to do this. About a year after you are infected, hunters of vampires or lycanthropes will contact you. They will tell you how to get cured. Alternately, there are covens in towns that can send you on a quest to deliver a potion to a mages guild. Drinking the potion will cure you of the curses of lycanthropy or vampirism. There is one such coven in Gothway Gardens, South of Gondyn's Supply Store and one in Daggerfall just across from the thieves guild. All covens found in towns are associated with Glenmoril Wyrd.
