One Thing that MUST have a toggle : V - Skyrim

-finishes pelting dragon with arrows-

"Must.... resist..."

-falls to knees, meters away from the dragon-
"DOVAHKIIN! "

>_> :banghead:

It's a bit silly, but I like the fact they'd do something like that. Like a story of epic world-saving dragon slaying is something that tavern bards would sing about.

And it's fun to imagine some dignified Altmer wizard beating a dragon, looking around to make sure no one else is there to notice, and then screaming "DOVAKHIIN!" at the top of their lungs.

FIrst thing that pops into my head if your character shouts this after every kill is the Highlander. "There can be only one!" after they behead their rival. Dovahkiin is the Skyrim Highlander if he shouts it after every dragon kill hehe. Of course I will stay play the crap out of this game anyhow :biggrin:

No magic finishers, can't remember where I read this though, so all you have is my word.. :woot:

Cool...that's one way to eliminate them then. I'm sure it would have to be timed just right if she was using a weapon. Thanks.

No, I hated it too.

I mean you wouldn't finish off writing an essay and then yell 'COLLEGE STUDENNNNNT!!!!!', would you? I mean I know its not exactly the same but still, it was ridiculously stupid to me and if it's not just a scripted demo thing I'll be annoyed.

haha the shout sounded extremely stupid
but the college student thing sounds like a pretty smart thing to do
i think i shall try it!

But do you finish your essays with an epic finishing move?

I bet he screams more than one thing, either way it'd be nice to just be able to turn them off, maybe even turn off all finishers. Depends on how often they happen, once every hundred kills is not so bad but once every five kills.... :banghead:

I remember it too, was it in the interview with Matt? Or just one on destructoid, theres been so many recently its hard to keep track.

I've been doing it wrong then, no wonder I get looks when I work in the library.

I burst out laughing every time I hear that stupid Nord yell "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!!!" with that anime voice of his.
I will mod it out, but a toggle would be nice.

I'll be looking forward to the mod.

I'm not that bothered by it... I'm much more bothered by forced third person finishing moves. I want that to have a toggle

Did they ever confirm/deny that it forces third person?

If not, then no need to worry so soon.

I think they did, but I forget when/where. At first I thought it would bother me, then after playing around in Oblivion recently I saw/remembered that they force you to 3rd person when you get knocked back/ paralyzed so the forced camera is nothing new. I was able to apparently get over it in past games so I'm sure it won't bother me too much.

Dozens of magazines confirmed it and I think Pete mentioned it as well one time.
It can also be shown in each and every demo and it makes sense given that finishing moves are different for each weapon and each creature.

You could therefore consider it "100% confirmed", pretty much.

Anime voice? How the [censored] do you get that?

Such a tiny, tiny part of the game.

It really amazes me what some people will complain about.

Way to contribute to the conversation at hand /clap

@Skoomacat: Have you heard him shout in the video? Its pretty ridiculous

@hlvr: Aw, i guess i'm out of the loop. Unless they've made the third-person finishers *amazing* then I can see them getting really old, really fast. Much like the slow motion kills in fallout 3

Are you freaking crazy dude? That's one of the coolest things in the game, but you don't even have to learn dragon shouts if you don't want to. :facepalm:

To me it makes the character seem barbaric and meat headed, My character is far from that so it kind of gives me no choice.

A nord is honestly the only race I can see crying their own name out like that, Imagine an Argonian....

"HAAAAULS ROPESSS FASTERRRRR!"

The person you quoted was mistaken, as are many who replied to this thread; he thought the topic was on dragonshouts, when it's actually about what you mention, shouting out your name upon defeating a dragon

And i agree, nord is the only one i see doing it lol

I see, I rarely read through every post before posting.

I'll just have to giggle my way through infinite dragon battles.

That really doesn't sound so bad, you know. :tes:

» Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:31 am

love how everyone just flamed the OP for his very legitimate opinion. Talk about inability to think outside the box....

I agree OP... but make no mistake that aint the only thing I want to toggle off in Skyrim.

1. Mouse acceleration (IF it exists, [censored] games that force it.)
2. Kill animations.

The Dovakhiin battlecry made me cringe somewhat. It's something I imagine the Hulk would do... Or Timmy from South Park.

» Thu Sep 01, 2011 9:51 am

I was actually expecting a valid point for a toggleable feature. I was wrong.
No, it's nothing that should be toggleable. There are WAY more valid points out there regarding optional settings. This is not one of them. And this does not mean I'm fond it the battlecry myself, but it's not something that should be toggleable.
If you're on PC, you can easily replace the battlecry with a silent soundfile in order to get rid of it.

It's funny how one man's "epic coolness" is another man's cheesiness. I was never able to take the Dark Brotherhood seriously, due to all their... well... yeah

. "Stupid evil" mixed with bad voice acting just doesn't do it for me

. "Open the black dooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrr!"

When I heard this "Dovakhiin" thing, I actually laughed out loud. Not a chuckle, but an actual laugh!

Oh yeah... let's not forget SSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

:P
