Advantages and disadvantages of using beast-form to travel quicker on foot

Question

I'm traveling from Winterhold college to the Shrine of Azura - it's cold, I don't like (other) wolves and it takes ages. So I assumed the beast form because it can sprint way faster, and stamina regenerates at insane rates.

Is this a wise decision? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using beast form to travel faster? Do I need to kill people I meet to extend bloodlust, or can I kill a rabbit to continue?

_{Strangely, at the mine a 'fugitive' approached me and then asked me to store something. I was given two dialogue options (! as a werewolf) but could not do anything later.}

Answer

If you're able to avoid people and maintain blood lust, it's not a bad way to go.

You can maintain blood lust by feeding on the corpse of anything that would normally have blood: animals and humanoids both count.

You'll want to avoid people for two reasons:

• If they're particularly brazen (like a guard or fellow adventurer), they'll attack you on sight.

• If you can't maintain bloodlust until they go away, they'll see you transform and you'll be marked with a major crime.
