Werewolves don't sleep

If by that you mean that you choose never to use the Sleep function in an available bed or other accommodation, then you won't come into direct contact with the DB (other than receiving the warning note mentioned above, or being attacked by unnamed assassins). You'll never be given the opportunity to join them or destroy them. That questline just won't ever be completed. There is only one way to advance it now, and never sleeping will prevent that from happening.

If however you're just referring to the fact that being a werewolf denies you the Rested and Well Rested bonuses when you do sleep, then that won't make any difference where the DB questline is involved. If you find a bed/hayroll/etc. and opt to sleep, not getting the full benefit of the snooze is irrelevant in this case.

Altho IIRC, if you never report back to the kid in Windhelm that you killed Grelod and receive payment from him, things never advance to the stage where the DB contacts you at all. But since you said the quest was marked off as complete I'm assuming you did that, in which case it's only a matter of time or of you choosing to never ever ever sleep again as your current character, werewolf or no.

Ive came to the conclusion that the DB is actually Freddie Kruger in disguise.

Also: here is a summary, in dialogue form, of my current feelings about the Thieves Guild.


Delvin: I need you to go to Windhelm and steal 500 septims' worth of merchandise.

Me: Really? That's, like, the third time this week.

Delvin: Just do it or you'll never be Guildmaster.

Me: I've got 10,000 septims on me right now. How 'bout I just give you the lousy 500 and we call it even?

Delvin: ...

Me: *rolls eyes*



Yeah, not much liking this at all. It's a lot of piddly jobs that have to be done to get anywhere. And I'm afraid to advance the main storyline any further because I don't know if that'll make it impossible for me to get any more side jobs until it's finished, and then... what? I'm back to running all over Skyrim planting junk in people's houses and stealing stuff that's worth less than what I can get by raiding one decent bandit lair?

They can also kidnap you if you use the wait function as well.

I did not know that, but it makes sense. When waiting you are basically just loitering motionless in one spot, so why wouldn't a skilled ninja-like stalker be able to bag you and whisk you away?

Lol, I still feel bad for Vilkas from the first time it happened, I mean he's arguably the most skilled of the Companions and they stole his fair wife out of their home and their bed when he was sleeping right next to her. Served me right for taking him out of follower mode, not that it would have made any difference to the abduction part except he would've bloody been there when I went running out of the shack in a fright because of what I'd just done (killed Astrid, not knowing where I was or if there would be other DBers nearby) and it was pitch black outside and I was immediately attacked by frostbite spiders AND a dragon.

Thankfully I'd been carrying the Sanguine Rose with me and to be fair I'm pretty sure it was the dremora who killed Astrid. Anyway he was still tagging along when the dragon hit. It may have been attacking the spiders or vice versa, all I know is I saw very little of anything but when it was over everything was dead but me.

So I was at Whiterun, walking out, going to my horse.

Get to the stables to find my Horse, a dog, and a guard fighting each other. needless to say my horse disabled god mode, and died...

damn... Now Im going to have to walk to the other end of the map...
