guerillamoderno Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I know this would likely be a nightmare to actually implement, but I had this idea and figured I'd share it with the hope that it inspires someone who actually would be capable of making it happen. I love shouting. I think shouts are a great addition to the game. The one thing I don't like about them though, is that every time you want to change what shout you can perform (which is usually in the heat of combat), you have to go into your menu and manually select it, which really breaks the tempo of a lot of intense battles. How awesome would it be if you could just hold down the shout button to activate your computer's microphone, actually say the words of the shout you want it to do, then release it and have your character do that shout in game? In order to actually make it work the mod would likely need to operate on some sort of standalone program that you use to record your own voice saying the one, two, and three word versions of each shout (which would be 60 different voice commands total), then utilize voice-recognition software to create binds for each of those recorded shouts to activate their ingame equivalent when your microphone picks you saying it up. I can't imagine we'd be seeing a working version of something like this for a hell of a long time, but it would be pretty awesome to just shout "FUS RO DAH!" into your computer mic and have your character force push a frost troll off a cliff or shout "WOLD NA KEST!" and jump across a ravine.

wtfitsed Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well looks like I'm going to have to change my pants. This was the best Idea I've read in a long time. Not sure how feasible this would be tho.http://www.dwvac.com/ This appears to be software used for voice activated gaming. I think the big hurdle here would be making each shout mapped to a certain key combination and thus phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm afraid it would have a delayed action, but if it worked right, I'd be in support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney666 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Awesome idea, would be great to piss off the wife when playing Skyrim at 3 in the morning! If someone would make this work properly it would be great. Stuff like this should be added into games already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitywyrm Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 This is the sort of thing that the Kinect can really be great for. Imagine Xbox gamers speaking the words to do the shouts or to select a spell. Just imagine... "Night eye""Flames""Dual flames" "Clairvoyance" That would be just... epic.

guerillamoderno Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have a few other ideas about useful binds if there were a way to script them. Something with the microphone would be a huge undertaking, but just creating a hotkey to perform a few different actions at once would probably be easier, like to automatically recharge the weapon you have equipped with Azura's/Black Star or to equip a combination of 2 preset spells at once. Is there a way to do this by modifying the game files, or is that potential construction set territory? I'm pretty new to how all but the simplest modding works, and have no experience with how Elder Scrolls games work for this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrencall Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Bump for great justice. I like the idea for shouts, but not spells, that would just get a bit annoying, considering those are real words, and could be triggered by people around you, or you shouting at the game.

Calvissuperman Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 This is the first thing I thought of when I remembered how strong the modding is on ElderScrolls games. I hope to see this idea come to life soon! I can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crippknottick Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Everyone is gonna love me shouting at my game. "What are you doing?" "I'm shouting." "Well, duh. Why are you shouting? "So I can shout." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
