Total Immersion - Dragon Shouts through mic/headset!

Post » Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:38 am

While on a return flight to BWI Airport I overheard a couple of passengers talking among themselves about Skyrim. At first I didn't think anything of it until I realized they were Bethesda developers and one mentioned microphone recognition of Dragon Shouts!.

So here is the gist. Apparently not only will players be able to find scrolls to learn the new language, but they have to train to actually say them. One of the developers upbeat about not having players have to use the controller to pick shouts, but actually speak them to effect. Since this is a made up language, there is no ramification for non English speakers as everyone must learn the new language and know how they want to use it.

So what does everyone think?

Personally I have no desire for headset support. I do not want to shout at people in a single player game.

This.

I just don't see them releasing a game that "requires a microphone."




...and even as a made up thing, it sounds assinine. Why would anyone even want such a stupid thing?

dude...take it from a professional illusionist, the easiest way for a "layman" to sell a feint is to be as close to the truth as possible. This one is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY out there.

This isn't going anywhere near "discussion".

Really isn't good to spam.
