wouldn't be fun if they could slow time or freeze you solid for an extended period of time
Yeah those sort of Shouts they were right to leave out. And I can see how it would be hard to implement some of the other Shouts (Dragons are glitchy enough right now, could you imagine one trying to use whirlwind sprint?).
Maybe each Dragon you encounter has around 5-6 different Shouts each would have been the best way to go. Think Bethesda could/should patch it in at some point anyone?
Edit:
@Guard, really? I remember him summoning up some weather and breathing fire but no RO-didly
