Whew. Sure is quiet in here, no new info lately. So whilst I was sitting upon my throne pondering immortality, I decided to pick up that Game Informer from a few a couple of months back that had that one game in it, you know? Skyrim? Yeah, that's the one.

I flipped through the pages and arrived at the part where it talks about dragon shouts. Here it lists a few dragon shout powers; slowing time, a sort of force push and a dragon shout(errr...whisper....) that helps out stealthy players. Then the last one says you'll learn an actual dragon's name as a dragon shout to summon your own dragon to aid you in battle.

For some reason I just never remembered reading that part and no one here has really said much about it. That's pretty neat-o though and sounds like one of the most powerful summons in the game. I wonder if actual conjuration-users will get anything that powerful?

Anyway, I know it's old, I just missed it before I guess. Can't wait for some new screens, info or something. I downloaded Elder Scrolls 1 and 2, along with Quest for Glory 1-4, so I supposed I'll be busy with that whilst I wait.

It does sound cool, to force a Dragon to fight for you, but I assume that will be a late game power. That could just be broken if it was your first shout. Then again, I can get goldbrand in Morrowind at level 3, so maybe not that broken.

ehhh i dont like it. i dont ever use summons so its not that big of a deal but it does make dragons somewhat less epic and powerful if theyre summonable

Unless you can raise it from a little dragling, and the "summon" bit is the dragon flying in from the distance, doing some crazy acrobatic [censored] in the sky, before blasting down on the ground.


Though even then I probably wouldn't use it much. Not a summoner myself either.

I think it would be epic to have a dragon on dragon battle. EPIC. :rock:

Maybe something like The Last Guardian where we can become emotionally attached to our dragon and the more we do the more it will do for us?

I never saw that either But that sounds cool though, kinda like how Bosmers have the beast tounge skill, but for Dragons

i think that just shows how powerful you can be in the game. thats sweet

It will be legen, wait for it, Dary!

I think it's just some people who misunderstood Todd Howard, who said that "when I get bored, I'll just summon dragons". What he meant was that, as a game developer, he can pretty much just place monsters at will in the world - a testing world, not the finished one, that is. I doubt you can actually Summon a Dragon - if so, then probably just a Dragonling or similar small-to-medium dragon.

The dragons aren't exactly the friendliest sort.

Neither were Daedra but you could summon them in Oblivion

No, I do recall reading that there was a dragonshout that would allow you to summon a dragon. No misunderstanding Todd Howard.

"And while they’re cagey about the details, Bethesda says that one shout will let a player summon an actual dragon, calling him by name to fight."

Can't wait for that!
