Can somebody please enlighten me as to how this shout business works please?

I traveled all the way up those blasted 7000 steps to perform my shout for the Greybeards, simply to get the message that I need a dragon soul to unlock shouts.

I is a bit confused to be quit frank.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Kill dragons, get soul, then find a shout wall or what ever its called to learn a shout. At least that's they way I understood it.

Both done thats the whole point thats puzzling me...

Killed the dragon by the watchtower (after that you are being summoned) and read one wall.

Havent encountered any other dragons yet.

I have killed 3 dragons, but only have got 2 souls! One dragon wasn't in quest! And i have found four walls, but have no idea where to unlock the two. Kind of stupid if u need to do certain quests to get the souls.

Figured it out luckely....

Because console command Playerspellbooks was activated the shout came up 4 times in the list and I just chose the wrong one.

Got it sorted now...

I had the problem with 2 souls not 3, the 1st resurrected dragon did not count.

Well this is how got my shouts working.

- Found word of power in Bleak Falls Barrows

- Helped kill Dragon, gained its soul

- found out I was Dragonborn.

- Greybeards called for me.

- Then I went there and learned whirlwind and force push, I think those are the only two the Greybeards themselves teach. The rest would have to be found in dungeons and unlocked by killing Dragons.

- But I also just found this out. When you go into the magic menu and into the shouts sub menu. You have to use R to unlock the shout.

there are number of pre-set dragon locations on the map, if you use "tmm 1" or you can see a fully unlocked map, they are marked by a "dragon skull" of sorts.

They each contain one dragon that will not fly away, and each location has a wall to learn shouts from. One of them gave me all 3 words for throwing my voice, good for theft. (only has a 5 second CD)

I think this is exactly the reason ppl have problems. It took a little while before I saw this as well.
Tried to use left mouse click time after time but it always said I needed dragon souls to unlock, even though I had one.

Yup, this seems to be just one of those things Beth 'Forgot' to tell us low class PC users. I expect to be posting this 'hint' a lot.

Thanks and a kudo to Huntsman2310 for this arcane bit of lore.
