Dragon Shout Ideas?

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 5:14 am

Mine would be for my old traveling habits!

One of the things I loved about Morrowind and Oblivion was running very fast and jumping very high (minding the 'loading area' issue, of course). Half of the fun of going anywhere for me was like a constant little minigame of how stylish and accurately I moved about the world, and preferring and rooftops and rocks to sidewalks and roads.

I didn't mind Skyrim's more realistic approach to traveling capabilities, but part of me wishes they found a way to squeeze those old elements of fun in. I figured if they made a spell that did this sort of thing it would be exploited too much what with all the easily-achieved 0-cost to any spell, but a dragon shout would work out quite nicely.

If I could create some dragon shouts for Skyrim, they would be as follows:
- Sprint X times faster for a short time
- Jump (and land safely) an average house's height.
- Survive any fall for a short time (like the good ol' 1 point of Slowfall in Morrowind)

Or even make it into one shout, but the effect is determined by how long you charge it.
I wish I was a huger nerd so I could find the right dragon language words for such a shout.

Eh, that's just one random idea I had. Probably won't happen.
What sort of shouts would YOU want in Skyrim? :{D~

While I think this would be a good shout, I'm pretty sure 'blank expression' is a constant effect for all Dragonborn.

How about this:
Instead of fast-traveling there could be a dragon shout whose force propels you backwards at incredible speed from where you are to where you're going.

Or maybe a shout that turns anything living it hits into a bipedal eggplant creature with big eyes that sings and coos like a baby, but sounds as though being played back at slow speed, at a really low pitch.

Or a shout that knocks all the clothing and equipment off the person in front of you and puts them on the person behind him or her. The first person stays unclothed.

Or a shout that lets your horse eat people for a few minutes.

A shout that summons a giant horker as a pet and mount.

Beth, hurry up with the CK. I desire fearsome horker companions.

I'd rather they just bring back the spells from Morrowind instead of just making them shouts only....

also spellmaking.

this and acrobatics. ive heard of people exploiting levitation by hovering above enemies heads out of reach, to counter this they should just make 90% of enemies have a ranged attack. and a insect like creature that jumps really high, flying enemies, ect. game needs weapon degrading too.
