How does elder scrolls make all these fantastic games -- year after year.


To have the new feature of their newest game not work properly.. specifically.

Shout - It jams up and wont function unless i reload or reset it like 10x.

I mean... relying on your shout like a heal potion or crit swing or something. but having the useage appropriated. should not be jamming up on you like it does, 5 loads in a row.


/frustrated.

I wouldn't call the shout the point of the game. After all I'm playing a character who's never shouted once and they're doing just fine.

Also I've never had shout "jam up" on me. What do you mean? What's happening? Are you aware the shout has a cooldown and can't be spammed? Are you pressing the right button?

It can be frustrating to not have it work when you hit the trigger but I've never tried to use it at a time when it was my only way to live. I shout alot, but its still just my "this will be fun" button.

Shouts jamming? I know sometimes in the heat of battle (usually with a dragon) the shout will have a delay before if fires. But jamming? Elaborate, TS, what's the problem here, Fellow Nord?

Sometimes the character just wont shout. It tends to happen to me the most after quick transitions, sprinted to cut down someone and turn to shout at someone only to have it not go off. Nine times out of ten if I really want to shout I can just go into favorites, deselected it and reselected and it'll work fine. Its only a problem if you let it become one. Otherwise if you throat is a little sore just... sweep leg, still get the job done.

think of the Elder Scroll series as a combination of the Game of Thrones series and Lord of the Rings or just skyrim in particular with the game of thrones thing now while the shouts do mysterious jam up they function back to normal it's because your mashing your shout button forcing the command not to properly work on cue so next time be patient and don't mash it up

It's hard to assume button mashing yet I find the recharge time lures me into impatience.

No. I am swinging my sword. I am healing. I am fine. I am not fine. all scenarios come into play. I hit the button. ----- no response.


I hit again ---- No response

I hit again --- No response...

I deslect -- i select... No response.

I deselect I select --- Response.

repeat and vary -- No response x(#) --- vary situation/solution x(#(?))

response.



But dovahkiin is main quest... i.e /shrug oblivion at its gates.. elder scrolls had... whatever it was.


SHOUT.. fail.


Anyway as i said, I designate the Shout to be used in a calculated manner (ensuring I have the time) -- to the cant just mash it comment..


JAMS UP. NO REASON other than fail.

Sounds like you were hit by a bug, then.

Its up there with dual wield not functioning with the same items in the inventory stacking ur favorites menu.

It just shouldnt be a confliction being the build up of the game is combat and item useage. I guess... they made it here from daggerfell and didnt impliment dualwielding in other games. since you did. why not accomodate the infastructure?

I think your game is broken, bro. My shouts work just fine, other than the occasional slight delay. And this is the first time I heard of complete failure of a shout on a regular basis.

How could my game be broken if all from same file archive or w/e?

I dunno..... issue galore though... look

A. im in position B. the enemy is in position C. I am playing skyrim -- dragon born circulation -- D. I hit my keyboard ( pc user with the game skyrim) E. Shout does not function F. Shout does not function G. Shout does not function..


wow -- guess im glad my epic battle just went down the [censored]ter and i have to reload and just mash a bunch of heal potions to ensure the win.

Too bad I wasnt playing.. oh crap look at C. im playing skyrim dragon born circulation.

It's either a bug or you're doing something wrong. Also E is not the button for my shouts, that's for general interaction.

Try changing your keybind also I've occasionally experienced a bug where trying to use a dragon shout I equips it. So if you hit the button and it doesn't work, rather than mash your button repeatedly (doing the same thing and expecting different results) hop to your favorites/magic menu and re-equip the shout you're trying to use.

Also, saying shouts are the point of the game is like saying the sigil stones at the en of each oblivion gate where the point of Oblivion. Dragons, would be a better comparison to the oblivion gates

Circulation?

Ok lets look at it like this... after this...


I am in a battle -- I am playing skyrim, the GREAT EPIC DRAGON ELDER SCROLLS version.

Now my battle sequence comes with uber kill shot cams. and just as well comes with uber combat devices..

Dual wield --- Shouts --- and pretty much thats all im stressing. because that is what is totally screwed up.


sooooo----- since i have those options and like to play it down to the wire, and not use 10 health potions to call my guy secure.

when i do ultimately have the battle won, and im just going to secure it with.. whats this Unrelenting force... aka .. the stunner/throw back machine. I hit it once, anticipating battle to progress as intended and expected.

But no... it stays silent.. like someone paid the guy fighting on my side. to sit this one out while my teeth are on the curb.


So i guess --- since they developed alllll these games, from the magic diversity they had in morrowind... to the huuuuge graphic and interaction overhaul of oblivion....


since the mega input of this game content wise... was dragons and the shout--- AND FINALLY --- DUAL WIELD.


You could get them to just. simply.. work.

So yes -- after the first time doesnt work .. i reload cus of death... and es.. after second time doesnt work.. i reload after death.

I finally say ok.. Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z ... hmmm

ok ... Unclick. Reclick. Unclick. Relick. z. death... reload..


Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z


ok ... reload... WHEW finally 5 reloads must of reset my damn throat.. is that dubbed ludens mod?


sooooooooooooooooo------------------

if you bought the game and it didnt work... say wielding a weapon wouldnt work... are you just supposed to become a mage?

Yeah, I've had shouts just plain refuse to activate. It is slightly perturbing when you press RB for the first time in the fight and get a big fat nothing....

Sometimes I have to pause a moment (stop swinging, casting etc.) but I have never had a shout just not function. Sorry you hit a bug.

The shouts sometimes fail and you're left not being able to jump or cast spells. (360)

Broken controller? Sounds like the button is damaged.

Wow, cant say its done that to me! Mercifully, all I've had happen is I sit there going RBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRB until it works or I decide my character has laryngitis.

Although my game did bug once and stop me drawing my weapon (hands were in the right positions to hold it, but no battleaxe ) or even swinging. Clearing the cache and reloading sorted it out though *phew*

In my case, the shout button on my controller works perfectly on every other game. My right joystick on the other hand...

I'm still lost at "circulation".

Shouts are not intended for frequent use, otherwise we would not have the cool down timer. I have seen threads where people can't get a shout to work in battle, and it is usually because they are trying to do to much. And, it is usually the second or third shout of the battle.

If you approach shouts as a Strategic rather than Tactical view, as in use the Shout to set up the attack rather than as the attack. Yes, it can be an Attack shout to set up your other attacks, if you want.

Point of the game is hack, loot and slash.
