Blocking out the sun is incredibly helpful for those who play as vampires with the Dawnguard DLC, however carrying around Auriel's Bow and some Bloodcursed Arrows all the time gets annoying when you only really want to use it for one purpose, once per day. Being both the Dragonborn and a Vampire Lord, I think it'd be appropriate that you can learn how to block out the sun using your Thu'um. Maybe to make this acquisition more lore friendly it could involve making one of the Greybeards your thrall and working together to create the shout, or perhaps you can read about how to do it using the Elder Scrolls. But these are all extra details that somebody could expand upon if they like the idea that much. You might just discover it in a book locked away in Castle Volkihar or Fort Dawnguard or even in High Hrothgar. All I ask for is a shout that has the same effect as the bow, so that you don't have to carry around the bow all the time. Giving it a long cooldown time would be appropriate, and there are already some words that could be used for the actual shout itself. Sun = Shul, Defeat = Viik, Freeze = Diin, Kill = Krii, etc. Please consider my request? I'd be incredibly grateful and I'm sure others would find it equally useful.

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded Skyrim to version 1.6, and ever since it's been virtually unplayable. The entire world shudders along as soon as I enter combat, start to run, or even look around quickly and it's doing my head in. I used to play with a dozen or so mods on medium-high graphics settings (my pc recommended high, but I like to make sure the gameplay is as smooth as possible) and it would run absolutely fine. I've been playing like this for months now. But as soon as I updated it, the game started to lag horribly. I cut back on some mods and lowered the graphics settings and it got a little better, but was still horrible to play. When I took off all my mods and put it on the lowest graphics setting it was still playing up. It will load up at a normal speed, but when it comes down to actually playing the game it gets incredibly frustrating to watch everything happen in small bursts. I've tried to look for a version of the 1.5 or lower patch online but I can't seem to find any way to downgrade it. If I'm stuck with 1.6 until the next patch then I just won't be able to play the game until it gets fixed. And even then, that's only if it gets fixed. I've seen other people with the problem as well, but nobody seems to be able to find a fix for it, or if they do they haven't posted about it or anything. Does anybody know how to fix the problem or have a download link to a patch that isn't 1.6?
