I've watched game play videos some using shouts almost constantly or in every single battle and so on and at first I thought thats cool, slightly comical. But in almost ~50-60 hours of gameplay I've realized that I have only really used a shout in combat maybe once or twice when I got the first word, and another to get through a "puzzle", but other then that I never use shouts. The rest of the time I stick to combat finesse to make it through the square path to the next one. So, out of curiosity, how often do you find yourself using shouts? And on a personal note, I just want to say that whatever the shout that the drauger "bosses" use that can disarm your nice powerful weapon and shield out of your hand and have it fly off into a darkened crevice (thank you Realistic Lighting) with no torches is quite possibly the most annoying thing that happens to me in game. "Is it over here, or here, no there, that it, where is it, run run run, hide behind pole, that it, there it is no its a candle, WHERES MY WEAPON, thats it... I'll beat you with my fists!"
