Nightmare Night

Faster, Stronger, Better. Nightmare Night recreates the Werewolf Transformation to new standards: Introducing a new Bloody Frenzy-System to overwhelm your foes with incomparable violence and speed, improved XP Gathering  and dynamic Health regeneration to support a fast and fluent gameplay.

Nightmare Night tries to dig deeper than other Werewolf overhauls, addressing not only the issues dwelling on the surface but also those lingering below it to turn the puppy on steroids into the teeth baring horror its supposed to be.



While Blood Frenzy is active, you will gain a new Interface (see above), replacing your Magicka Meter. The upper bar shows you your current Blood Frenzy Progress. The more frenzied you become, the more this one will fill up. The lower shows the remaining Duration of Blood Frenzy.
Blood Frenzy - and all its effects - will end when you don't kill another target before its duration runs out. It will also be canceled early when ending your Transformation or Feeding on a Corpse.



Feeding no longer grants any Experience. Instead Experience will be gathered whenever you kill a target. Further, the amount of Health you recover is now based on your missing Hp, rather than being a fixed Number. This means that the more Hp you have, the less effective Feeding will be.

3. Werewolves & Werebears
'We are not the same. We are not equal.'

• Werewolves are fast and enduring hunters. With their firm and muscular body they chase down their prey over long distances and each successful kill only makes them faster...
• Werebears have an overwhelming strength and are incredibly hard to kill. Their thick pelt grants them Frost and Poison resistance but forces them to take breaks more often. There are rumors that enranged Werebears can tear down entire buildings, unfortunately no one ever lived long enough to confirm this...
  

*If you turn into a Werebear or a Werewolf depends on the Lycan blood running through your Veins. You are always either a Werebear or a Werewolf and you cannot change your Race without curing yourself.

*Nightmare Night requires Nightmare of the Silent Night AND Nightmare of the Lucent Night to be learned first

5. Howls

You will have access to all 3 Vanilla Howls right from the start, accessible through your Favorites Menu. New Abilities you learn will also be placed into this Menu.

5.1 Totems of Hircine
Like in the Vanilla Game, you may choose 1 of the Totems to strengthen you. Depending on your choice, the associated Howl will gain an additional effect:

• Totem of the Hunt: Scent of Blood is able to detect dead and automatons.
• Totem of Fear: Deal additional damage against enemies influenced by Howl of Terror.
• Totem of Brotherhood: Howl of the Pack summons one additional ally to your aid.
  

6. Lunar Transformations

When the Moon shines bright, it's possible to transform into a Werebeast for the night. The chance for this to occur depends on the Masser's Moonphase and your MCM Settings. To simplify finding a proper balance, there are 3 Presets you can use:

• Warg: Transformations are spare, Fullmoon will always force a Transformation
• Skinwalker: A balanced Preset, offering moderate & balanced Chances for all Moonphases
• Cursed Blood: High probablity for a Transformation almost every Night. If you want things to be "difficult" but not "predictable"
  
  

7. World Encounters


7.1 Spirit Prey
Spirit Preys are unique Bosses scattered around Skyrims Landscape. You can encounter a total of 6 of them and all of them have some unique element to them. Some of them can be a real challenger to overcome putting you into entirely new situations you normally don't encounter while playing the game, others seem harmless but harmless doesn't mean easy, does it?
Not all of them are designed to be beatable when you first encounter them. If you feel like you are just not ready, remember their Location and come back to them another time!

7.2 Werebeast Hunters
While carrying the Beastblood, you will encounter occasional Silver Hand Patrols looking for their next Trophy (Spoiler: Its you, or so it they think!). They are about as meaningful as the Hunters in DLC1 and about as common too! - With one exception: Silver Hands are now able to drop a rare Book which gives you some clues about where Spirit Prey may be hiding!

8. Customization

You can choose the appearance you take on in your Beastform. Simply select the desired Appearance in the MCM and the next time you transform, boom! It's that easy!
Please remember though that due to the strict split between Werebears and Werewolves, you won't be able to use a Werebear Skin while you are a Werewolf and vice versa.
*By the time of writing this, I only have permissions to include Werebear textures. If I ever get permission for Werewolves, I will add them too, promised! D:

9. Miscellaneous

9.1 Becomming a Werebeast
Werewolves and Werebears have a Chance to drop 'Werebeast Blood'. Drinking it grants you a free Transformation and if you weren't a Werebeast before, turns you into the appropriate Werebeast. (Werebear Blood turns you into a Werebear)

I also recommend taking a look at Alternate Perspective, which offers you the option to start as a Werewolf right away, including a soft Integration into Nightmare Night to start the Game as a Werebear instead.

9.2 Ring of Hircine
As long as Ring of Hircine is in your Inventory, you may Transform an unlimited amount of times per day.

10. Compatiblity

• Incompatible with other Mods reworking Werewolves or Werebears
  

11. Credits & Thanks

• I'm certain some already realized similarities to Moonlight Tales. I really adore the work that has been put into this mod and it certainly gave me some inspiration to create Nightmare Night in first place. Those similarities are a tribute to it. I did not re-use any of Moonlight Tales's assets.
• KnErBSE73  - The Werebear Textures used in Nightmare Night were created by him
