How does the LDB's voice compare to all the great tongues from the past? Jurgen? Wulfarth?

Some of the old nordic tongues did some pretty crazy [censored] back in the day, could our Dragonborn do the same? Or perhaps more

Also, where does Miraak's thu'um rank in all of this? During the events of the DLC, id dare say his thu'um IS stronger, but afterwards, not so much

I understand that during the events of Skyrim, it's safe to say he/she has the most powerful voice AT THE TIME, but what about throughout history?

The LDB's thu'um will probably be the most powerful, in time, in my opinion

PS: It certainly doesn't feel uber strong in game, i know gameplay=/=lore, but yano, such wasted potential, and we'll probably never have another player character with the ability to shout

Miraak could also do that, also Jurgen shouted down a bunch of other tongues on his own, power comes in different forms

The Dragonborn is the most powerful Joor thu'um user* once you've done the various main quests.

Consider;

*You have complete mastery of the thu'um. Well, maybe not complete, but certainly more so than any other thu'um user outside of Dragons.

*Being Dragonborn, you can withstand the raw power of the Greybeard's thu'um.

*In present times.

hmmm, so how does it compare among the dragons' thu'ums? Odahviing says something about acknowledging our thu'um as the strongest at the end of the main quest

Certainly is an amusing pass time

Indeed you are correct. By completing the main quest you are acknowledged as such.

I hope in the next game we read legends about us being so powerful we could destroy cities, but we had complete control unlike the older tongues who couldn't speak. Thats the power I'd imagine the LDB eventually gaining. The fight we had with Alduin should've been cataclysmic. People should've said how they felt their homes shaking and thought they heard our voices from High Hrothgar.

Hell, in terms of main quest recognition I'd certainly have taken that as an acceptable recompense for the warm up fight.

It certainly would be nice to see our LDB gain some recognition for his power, the game doesn't portray the thu'ums destructive power quite so well,

I'd like to be taken a step further, describing how our LDB brought peace to skyrim with the Voice(whilst of course inflating his/her myth to God-like status), leaves it nice and vague too

Agreed. Have it say "Some say the dragonborn rose to divinity and left to aetherius. Maybe even Sovngarde. Others say he disappeared to Oblivion."

That way we can believe what we want from that cruddy DB ending.

Definitely, i like the idea of our LDB rising to divine status, just look at some of the stories of old nordic tongues, and how much their power is revered, even in current day Skyrim, our LDB has to surpass that, what with defeating Alduin and all

Wasn't Jurgen the most powerful tongue?

Then again, he wasn't Dragonborn.

I believe he was, at least whilst he was alive, although if you counted Miraak as alive in a certain Daedra's realm, you could certainly argue he was more powerful

He was the most powerful of his time.

Miraak not-counted.

Loops round nicely to my next question, how does Miraak compare to the nordic tongues of legend? Where would you rank him in the all-time most powerful Voices?

Close to, if not the strongest.

The other tongues did seek out his assistance for a reason.

True that, and that was before he spent years upon years honing his skill and knowledge in a certain daedric realm!

Well, its pitifully weak in the game for us. I basically have to use that loop to get 0% shout cooldowns to even feel like my character deserves the fear and anger Dragons have toward him/her.

I think it'd be cool if our DB leaves to go to Atmora at some point in his/her future. Instead of being like Talos and changing a climate to ice and stuff (I'm no lore buff so don't kill me if wrong ), our DB does the opposite and basically thaws Atmora out. Then we could go there for TES XI or something as a dragonborn again, this time with uber amazing physics and climate control (with climate affecting those in it!). Make it super windy so defendings on a castle wall are blown off whenever they try to shoot at the attackers.

I'm rambling now, but yeah. To Atmora!

I don't think LDB is as strong as Jurgen or the Greybeards.

I like this, i like this a lot, also what is this 0% cooldown you speak of?!

I believe the LDB is stronger than the greybeards. certainly, Jurgen is another matter, but i believe in time, he/she will be stronger, as i believe Miraak was stronger after spending an age gaining a vast amount of knowledge on how to further amplify his power. The LDB has the potential to surpass all

Makes it much, much more fun and interesting to play as Dragonborn as you can now mix different shouts together for some interesting effects.

This so much

Although you just have to enter a simple command if you are playing on PC
