📋 About This Mod

Introduction

Five years of werewolf modding led to this project, and before I say anything I would like to thank everyone who played the Tales of Lycanthropy or Moonlight Tales mod series. Without your support, I would have never made this mod. Thank you!

Be The Werewolf!

Moonlight Tales Special Edition is a complete werewolf gameplay overhaul including: lunar transformations, completely new perk tree with 32 unique perks, innovative roaring system, skin system, werebears, moon howling and revert form, werewolf looting and interactions, extensive human form powers, custom animations, sound effects and more!

Perk Tree

Beware! Lord Hircine claims the souls of those unfortunate victims who fell prey to his deadly hunters... unto the eternal Hunting Grounds.

The addition of a lycanthropy perk tree was a welcome addition in Dawnguard for every werewolf player. However, it hinted on something much more grand that could be accomplished by extending such a system. Moonlight Tales Special Editions introduces a completely re-imagined form of the werewolf perk tree. There is not one perk that was simply altered... everything you see is created from the ground up. 32 unique perks await with a fresh selection of active and passive abilities for both Beast Form and human form!

The perk tree installs itself in an automated manner. If you had any of the vanilla perks, they are safely removed and their perk points are refunded to you. If you had any saved up perk points, you will get to keep them. Your progress is secure.

Only the soul of a person contributes to perk progression. Hircine does not reward a hunter for feasting on bunnies and elks... However, unlocking each new perk only requires one more feeding then the previous one instead of the base game's twice as harsh system.

New Roaring and Active Abilities

In the original game werewolves could only have one roar equipped at a time. Modders later introduced the ability to 'hold down' your roar for an additional type, which increased the maximum roars at your disposal to two. Moonlight Tales Special Edition takes this to the next level by allowing you to use 6 different roars at the same time (without the need for SKSE or new hotkeys) by the use of the player's view angles.
