InDarkestNight Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've long had a problem with using the wrong shout by accident. I use whirlwind sprint when I mean to fus ro dah people, or I accidentally use fus ro dah when I meant to sprint. I tend to walk around with kyne's peace equipped so I don't have to fight animals, but I very often end up using it by accident in a fight. The long cooldowns of shouts often means that even the best case scenario I can't use another shout for the rest of the fight. Today, I accidentally teleported myself back to my home using a power from a mod when I meant to fus ro dah a draugr deathlord off a ledge. I chose to reload the autosave from where I entered the dungeon rather than walk all the way back to that stupid dungeon. Thinking about why this keeps happening, I remember the brief time I played oblivion. In that game your spells were essentially implemented as powers. They came with an on-screen icon showing which spell you had equipped. I realized that this was my problem; there's no on-screen indication which power you have equipped. You just have to remember it. It would be great to have SOMETHING in the hud that indicates which shout/power you have equipped. I'm sick of using the wrong shout by accident all the time, particularly since it often means I have to reload my game because I accidentally used fus ro dah on civilians, giving me a bounty I didn't intend to have. This really needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDarkestNight Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Is there an equivalent mod for LE? I can't seem to find one, other than some mod that adds in a 'widget' for seemingly everything in the game other than what power you have equipped.
