Ready about all these Dragon shouts, and scouring the Oblivion forums tracking for mods, I was wondering what would it be like to have, in Skyrim (Vanilla or mod), the possibility to scream as a human/khajit/etc...

You could use the scream on NPC to startle them, and provoke a fight if spammed, or to scare kids, or even badly wounded enemies/animals to have them start fleeing ! (you could then finish them off or let them go, so more RP options).

I mean it surely doesn't take a Dragon Shout to scare a nosy brat.

Also when exploring without having to stop and kill every rat that sees you, you can just scream at its face and it would run away in the bushes, allowing you to properly continue.

Although maybe that would mean including sound detection mechanism from other entities/npcs

I like this idea.

Then without taking counsel or waiting for the approach of the men of the City, he spurred headlong back to the front of the great host, and blew a horn, and cried aloud for the onset. Over the field rang his clear voice calling: 'Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!'

And with that the host began to move. But the Rohirrim sang no more. Death they cried with one voice loud and terrible, and gathering speed like a great tide their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards.

Hey kids, GET OFF MY LAWN!!

I like the idea of dragon shouts because, being magical in a sense, it would help my character out, amplification wise. But if I tried to use a personal "battle cry" or something, my girly little mage voice would crack, everyone would laugh instead of being frightened, and I'd have to run away in shame... "Hold it, (ahem), h o ld (cough), hold it rr-rright there, bandit scum!" :pinch:

Yes it would maybe not fit well with a shy character type, but then instead it could be a whistle or humming a sound (although the kid running in fear would make you feel your singing is awful)

I guess this would be a nice mod idea but no room for it in vanilla...

something similar to eye of fear then...
