But yes, your concerns are not misplaced. but as always I'd like to emphasize one thing: DLC.
If you be patient and await the DLC, then I am sure we'll gain access to some lycanthropy goodness - It was always clear that the chances of getting werewolves in the initial release were slim, but now it's a matter of waiting, and since you'll be happily playing Skyrim in about 3-4 weeks, I'm sure time will pass for you easily!
Should they screw us over on the DLC, well then a riot and a series of petty mods is in order and tradition!
But hey! Whilst you wait, enjoy vampirism! (Not cool at all, I know.)
