Argonian Shouts

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:35 am

That's because he's working on the mod.

So far he could only import Fus and Iiiz from the Draugr, he's working on getting the rest of the shouts.
He said there are a lot of unused shouts for Draugr you will never hear in-game because the AI for some reason limits them to a few.

For example you don't see Draugrs using ice form in the game, but in that little video it clearly shows the voice file for it is present.


Thank you for the info Guard. May your knees be safe.

Because the smart decision would have been to have actual lizards do the voice-overs.. :rolleyes:

You roll you eyes, but that would have been awesome. You ever heard the sound of a lizard licking his own eyeball? Perfect for FUS.

The Argonian actor happens to also be Frank the Pug from Men in Black.

I guess his shouts sounded too much like a dog.

I don't understand why male Argonians get a recycled voice while the females get their own.


If this is the case, they probably recorded the Male Argonian Shouts but did not choose them correctly in the editor. It would not be the first time that recorded dialog goes unused in these games.

After 24 hours of play and I didn't even notice this until reading this thread. Why, you may ask? Because I was too busy playing Skyrim...

Think of it this way. Khajiit got their own dragon shouts with their voice acting budget. Argonians got marriage with theirs

Marriable Argonians are a gift for everyone. Khajiit can marry Argonians, too!

It just keeps on giving.

Why does the dragon shouts for an Argonian sound just like the Nords?
I changed my race to a Nord through the console to check, and indeed, it's the same voice being played.
That seems really odd, as it doesn't fit them at all. Khajiits have their own voice, so why not Argonians too?


Do shouts sound the same on every race? I've only had them on a Reduard and my Dunmer isn't a Dovakiin. I thought the shout they used in the teaser trailer sounded so badass..how come that's nowhere in the game?

Khajit's and even the FEMALE Argonian got their own shout voices? I've only played as an Argonian Male so far, so i just assumed everyone had the same shouts...

Have any PC players found the voice files for Argonian males or did they just not record them and gave them the normal voice? If they're in the files I would assume it'd be changeable in a patch or somethin'. Just doesn't make sense to me to have a female Argonian voice and not a male one.

What gets me about playing an argonian is when I come up from under the water, I get the "catching my breathe/gasping for air" sound.

Don't argonians have gills for underwater breathing? Why am I gasping for air then?

They breath under water with their gills, but they still have to hold their lungs.

That seems possible, I've heard Esbern switch his voice during dialogue several times, as if still using placeholder audio.

And I didn't know so many races shared the same shout voice, it's worse than I thought.

Not my Khajiit female. She sounds like a male Nord when she Shouts.

The Throw Voice shout has the Argonian/Khajiit accent I believe, it at least has the Khajiit one. And when I fall or take damage my guy has a Khajiit-sounding yelp.

Yeah, the male Argonian shout voice is so disappointing. The other day I was fighting a draugr lord in a cave and for Christ sake, their Ro-Dah sounds so [censored] EPIC! Btw does anyone know how to find the draugr voices and paste them in my character's file?

If, as mentioned, NPC Argonians get their own voice files for Shouts, I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before there's a mod that makes them usable for the player character. Role on the creation kit, I say.

Yes this is an oversight of Bethesda, no they did not shaft argonians. Exploring the BSA voice files and converting the fuz to wav, reveals that the maleargonian voice folder has indeed the voices for the shouts. All of the voices are there and working. They are probably just unused in the game. It will be piss easy to set them to being used after the CK comes out, though, no worries. SOME of the voices do seem reused though, i am not sure exactly yet how the game plays these sound files together, but the original FUS, sounds exactly the same to me. It does sound the same for the khajiit for me as well, but then again, i can't really tell by just listening like this. if you are interested in doing further comparison of them, you can find a fuz to wav converter and extract the .bsa with the fallout 3 FOMM. I am pretty sure this is legal to do, since you can mod these files anyway.
