All right, so I would like to know what shout-powers have been officially confirmed so far.

For now, I only know that there's going to be at least 60 words in the Draconic vocabulary, which comprise 20 dragon shouts in total, each with three tiers of progression. Now, of these twenty, I'm only fully sure about two - the oft-discussed ability to slow time and the force-blasty-thingy from the teaser, when the Coverboy yells something at the dragon (which in its language probably means 'I love kittens!' or whatever, but we'll probably never know), and there's 'booh!', 'whoosh!', blue-light-VFX... and the camera flies away.

So... are these the only ones revealed so far, or have I missed something? I know there are many speculations and ideas, but for now my voracious curiosity shall be happy to settle for just the shouts officially announced and supported with a source.

The dragons have the ability to shout to breath fire so I'm sure that'll be obtainable



Basically anything the dragons can do, if you kill them, you can learn for yourself.

There is one to throw fire (you know, like dragons do) and another to call a dragon at your side. That's all I know.

It's Fus Ro Dah. And it's means Force Air Push or something along those lines.

EDIT: Force Balance Push.

breathing fire yourself has been confirmed in one of todd's interviews. I will try to go find it right now and post a link.

All the lyrics to the song plus whatever's on the back of the magazine (might be the same thing, I forget) are both available in both Dragonspeak and English.

Found it!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jDn-K-Bmhk will give you a better look. Start at 3:15 or 3:00 if you want. but he gives you a bunch of information about it. I kno this has already been posted somewhere on another topic, but it's a good reminder.

edit- the guy doing the interview is annoying.... he won't let poor todd just talk

Oh? So they built it as an actual language? That's very nice! I always thought it would be just some http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AsLongAsItSoundsForeign meant to sound cool, but not much beyond that. I'm happy to discover I unjustly underestimated Dragonspeak.

I do, however, still hope that there's a way to say "I love kittens" in it!

There's stealth teleport. Similar in function to the targeted time control spell in Fable 2 (only example I can think of) that teleports you behind an enemy when you whisper the words.

Force Push
Slow Time
Breath Fire
Summon Dragon

I think those are the only ones confirmed so far.

I do remember reading that, but I cant recall where. Can you provide the source for that?

Awesome, thanks. That sounds like a really cool ability. Also, I am amused by the fact that you can whisper a "shout".
