Description
===========

Werewolf: The Awakening is a mod to create a werewolf system in Oblivion. It is a fully playable infection/hunger system where the player can hunt or join werewolves. You have the ability to create other werewolves and command your own pack, as well as leveling up your werewolf side and choosing different disciplines to activate. Your characters have the ability to become a werewolf and slaughter humans, or live peacefully, feeding on animals instead. Unlike other werewolf mods, this makes the werewolves into large quadripedal animals instead of having a script to force armor awkwardly onto a human.

Six chapters from ReadMe:

1. Opening Letter [Sorry for my English, I am Polish]

Dear TES4OBLIVION Community,
Yes, this is my first mod. However, it does not mean I do not know what I am doing. In order to learn CS scripting, OBSE scripting, rules and many odd things I have spent many hours (probably more than 900 hours!).
The idea to introduce werewolves as huge wolves comes after watching movies like: Twilight Saga, Blood and Chocolate, True Blood Serial, Hellsing(Ultimate + Ova). There are even more films like this, but I cannot recall their names. The image of werewolves evolved in time as did the image of vampires (every age has got its own portrait of them), so it does not mean that werewolves should only look like this from Van Helsing or Underworld Trilogy.
And if somebody has already noticed ideas for Disciplines were taken from such games as: Diablo II or Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (this one is absolutely amazing: this is the only game I have managed to pass 5 times, even here is one werewolf).
I hope you will enjoy what I have already done. In order to understand everything (and believe me, there are hundreds of changes, it is completely new game!) You need to read ENTIRE PDF file(yup, may be painful...) – here is ONLY the general info necessary to start playing...


3. Basic information
+This mod may be used for werewolf and non-werewolf characters
+For now, there are no additional mods to this one (however, that may change)
+.ini file contains all necessary modifiers (some of them must be set at the very beginning)
+If you contract the Lycanthropy Curse (Initial Ritual or bitten), you will be recognized as a werewolf character. The Lycanthropy Curse will appear only once, and if you cure yourself before 72 hours (Transition Stage 7/8), you will become immune to it. You will still be able to contract the Lycanthropy Curse Stage 1, but it will never progress and you will not be able to be considered a werewolf character. When you enter final stage of transition, a message will pop up. A new item 'Werewolf: The Awakening' will appear in your inventory and you will not be able to cure yourself any more. You will die within next 12 hours (84 hours after contraction), unless you feed upon an NPC corpse.
+Werewolves are powerful, and as such they have their own society. This means, if you are a werewolf (or in transition state) and you get attacked by someone, any nearby werewolf character will try to help you. This rule also applies to you (nearby people will consider you as a threat). If you are not a werewolf, beware: fighting one werewolf is difficult (probably, it will be the hardest fight in Oblivion), fighting more than one is insanity (try instead to run as fast as you can)
+This mod changes all actors AI: werewolves may rush on opponents, NPCs may use shield attacks against them etc. AI modification should be safe: working perfectly with Deadly Reflex
+In the .ini file is a modifier (every new save will result in other people infected with the Lycanthropy Curse), which controls how many NPCs (from original game) will be werewolves. However, this rule does not apply to all characters. You will never see bandits transforming into werewolves (due to the fact that the persistent flag must be ticked, and most of them are dynamic), however there are always exceptions: some bandits are hand-placed, flagged ‘persistent’ (bosses etc.) and may be werewolves, so do not be surprised, when you start fighting with a bad-character and then he/she just shape shifts into a werewolf.
+If you want to be welcomed in werewolves community by taking part in Initial Ritual visit Lucian (he will be waiting for you in Bruma near the statue in front of the church)
