So i was exploring some old ruins in labyrinthia, when i run across a Draugh deathlord, i go right ahead at him to kill him with my ebony swords, but when i get in combat range he shouts at me and... BOOM insta death. I was like wtf? at first, then i put on my ebony armor and gloves, and my dragon helmer and boots to see if it would make a difference, guess what? He still killed me with one freaking shout...

So i had to sneak behind him and backstab him with my dual wielding power attack to eat a whole load of his HP away and then start to bash him with power attacks so he wouldn't move... aside from that i tought it was kinda funny.

Cool story, bro.

He didnt kill you. That's just a shout that knocks you down for a couple seconds. You'll get back up.

This. It's just the Draugr version of Fus Ro Dah. I thought I died the first time it happened to me.

Yep the shout hardly does any damage at all but it takes forever to get up. However if the draugr even scratches you when you're on the floor you're dead. I'm not too sure if it was a bug or not but I had to reload many times coz the Deathlord did a Fus Ro Dah on me followed by 1 measly errant arrow

That shout just knocks you down but sometimes they use a shout which knocks weapons out of your hands it's SO annoying.

you didnt die...

He didn't die.........He just got set up for an Insta-death! :flamethrower:

What the heck is the difference?

Yeah-ow!
