Possible Dragon Shouts

Post » Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:48 am

So, there will 20 + shouts in the game consisting of 3 words that can be discovered throughout the land of Skyrim. The only confirmed shouts at this time are a time slowing shout, a distance traversing shout, a force push shout and a shout which calls a dragon to your aid. That leaves at least 16 additional shouts. I'm curious to see what shouts the Elder Scrolls community would like to see in Skyrim. Any ideas?

O - BA - MAAAAA!
Effect: the dragon is persuaded that the province must be reformed and everybody must contribute to the consolidated budget. Dragons don't have money so they must give their souls.

I'm curious as to what makes dragon shouts different from spells, gameplay-wise.

The fact that they are not tied into a magicka pool, but a whole new system that can be accessed by Warriors and Thieves to the same level as Mages.

According to the Game Informer podcast, the shouts will go above and beyond any other skill. Other than that, we don't have any info on how it will be balanced with spells.

I think it would be sweet to get a shout that freezes solid objects in front of you!

I heard there was a shout (actually a whisper) that turns you invisible. Forgot where I heard it (gameinformer, probably)

I'm not sure if distance-traversing shout counts as a sneak jump shout but that was mentioned in a podcast I believe, you could use a whisper shout that would silently bring you behind the enemy so you could stab him in the back. I'm hoping for a pull shout, nothing is more fun than grabbing someone and pulling them onto your lightsaber in Force Unleashed, or in this case, a sword. I'd also like to see a shield shout, that would form a shield around you that would block any magic, or dragon fire. Lastly, I want the push shout to shove arrows flying through the air back, or a shout that grabs an arrow in the air and sends it back to the person who shot it.

I already thought of a firebreathing shout myself, but got bashed for it :sadvaultboy:
