Should Dragon Shouts Effect You

Post » Tue Jul 19, 2011 12:51 am

Lets say you jump from a Mountain and you are going to die when all of a sudden you Shout Fus Ro Da (Force Balance Push) to slow down your fall and land on the Ground with some Health Loss.

The same for when you are swimming in a Big Pond and its taking forever to get to the other side, do the Time Freeze Shout and then you can run on Water while you do the Whirlwind Shout so you can Sprint Faster.

You could also do the Teleport Shout and select the Destination from where you want to be, it could also be a Better Fast Travel System.

That's a good point, didn't think of that. If you can use two shouts consecutively which is unlikely based on what we've seen, you could theoretically slow time and then use Whirlwind Sprint, which would, for small bursts, make your character super super fast.

They have sais that individual shouts have different cooldowns, but surely if there isn't a global cooldown, at least while the shout is active, surely this would be nothing more than an exploit. Equip sword and shield, use fire breath, pause and go into inventory, use frost breath, pause, use shock breath. Where would the fun or the challenge be in that?

1. Playing "grammar cop" is against the rules.
2. Using "gay" as a homophobic insult is also against the rules.

? I was almost certain they said that all dragon shouts are on a global cooldown, but each dragon shout and depending on level used will make the global cooldown longer or shorter.

All Dragon Shouts are on the same global cooldown

Each Dragon Shout adds a different amount of time to the cooldown

Good, except a teleport shout would have a cooldown
