So I'm outside of Windhelm and I hear a dragon over head, I draw my axe and use Storm Call which is really great at doing damage to dragons if you've no reliable ranged attacks and suddenly out of nowhere the guards and npcs start attacking ME because the lighting strikes were hitting everyone, not just who was hostile towards me.

I save Windhelm from an Elder Dragon and I get arrested :cryvaultboy:

Storm Call only effective if you're alone? I had similar outcomes in the civil war story lines

Its a super nuke attack, that ability hits EVERYTHING.

Yes, it's a massive AOE attack. It kills dragons, guards, blacksmiths, rabbits, and everything in between.

I learned the same lesson. Its sad because i was really excited to use the power. I wish there was a way to turn that power so that it only hit targets I was already hostile towards

So effectively its an eyecandy shout

Eyecandy that kills you.

So poisonous eyecandy? Whatever makes the metaphor work.

If the only time you fight is in dungeons or towns, sure. I fight dragons in the middle of BFE more often than not.

I thought i'd water the tree in Whiterun. The townsfolk didn't appreciate it one bit.

Thats the thing that svcks with all Aoe shouts and spells, they damage everyone and everything but you making them worthless 90% of the time. i mean attacking the forts in the civil war would be a great time to use storm call or fire storm or blizzard etc but nope you have allies that will get hit and killed.

I never use those shouts... They are useless since they hit your allies..... :sadvaultboy:
