Playing as a werewolf is a blast, the speed, agility and strength bonuses translating into immense fun on the hunt. The side effects are so punitive, however, that you'll certainly want to make a reference save game before infection - if you get the opportunity. It's interesting to experience a condition that prevents you being anywhere near anyone at sundown, and having to keep constant watch on light conditions anchors you to the game world in a curiously tactile way. Such devices, whenever used in games, are always both frustrating and rewarding, and Bloodmoon is no different.
