I don't understand this (werewolves)

Here's how I see it: Werewolves go on a rampage when their fury meter is maxed, so when they rampage they essentially lose control. So if they are not in control of themselves, it makes sense the player shouldn't be either.

There are still wolf related things that they can do if I remember correctly it was mentioned in the stream that they can scratch things up and mark territory at the player's command, but human interaction like lighting a bonfire, is a no.

So rampaging is essentially the wolf gone wild, so the inner animal, and we have no control in game over animals.
