New shout ideas needed

[Galacticat42]

 

Make it a power then, please :ohdear:. Hehehe :turned:; it would be a nice additions. You could also add powers instead of just shouts....could you not? :unsure:.

 

Summoning a pack of ethereal shadow wolves sounds nice too. Bears are just to brute and big. I like the spriggans shout idea :D.

 

Hmmm; another idea... maybe you'll like it. How about a shout so powerful that when used it'll turn nearby foes into stone for 30 seconds, allowing you to scape or hide. And when hit, the stone bodies would shatter and turn into dust (similar to what happens with shock spells, but nicer and grayer).

 

Another one.... a simple yet powerful shout (I think there's already a spell like this, but making it a shout is much better). Could you add a shout that sends off force waves that throw your enemies backward a couple of feet in a very forceful manner. Think of the Hulk Attack; when he smashes the ground everyone goes flying. :teehee:

 

I'll try to think up some more ideas and see what I can come up with.... I hope you make a flying hawk transofrmation spell :ohdear:

 

Shouts only, sorry.

 

Ethereal wolves is already in the game - it's called summon familiar.

 

Sounds nice.

 

Yes, perhaps I should add another Fus Ro Dah? :wallbash: :facepalm:

I meant a whole pack of ethereal wolves, not just one... maybe five or ten. And I didn't mean just another fus ro dah... more like 360 degree force push. All those around you are sent backwards and fall over... :rolleyes:

I see. Well, I can do that, but to have a whole pack there's going to need to be a catch. Each wolf gets 20 HP this buffed with the perks system and you'll have yourself a nice little army.

 

Don't worry about the 360 degree force push as it's going to be covered by the perks. The last shout perk tier is 'Ancient Thu'ums' which gives all your shouts a 360 degree effect.

What if one was that it made ethereal clones of yourself. They would have low skills etc. but have a high aggro effect to draw many enemies away from you. AS would a group of many of the same person would cause.

How about a mod that changes the Whirlwind Sprint in some interesting ways? To make it more suitable in combat situations.

 

1. Decrease cooldown so you can use it more frequently.

 

2. Shorten the range, at least by 1/2 or 2/3, so you don't always overshoot your enemies.

 

3. Have it affect enemies on contact. Stagger, knockback, damage, elemental damage, etc. Get creative!

Still looking for ideas?

 

Help! - Summons the nearest Follower to your location to head your way.

1 - Works in Open World, short distance.

2 - Works in Open World, long distance.

3 - Works in Dungeons.

 

God Dammit, Where Did You Go This Time? - Summons your horse in the same way the Whistle mod does.

1 - Works over short distance.

2 - Works over long distance.

3 - Summons a wild horse if you do not own a horse.

 

Avalanche - Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? ;) Use in snowy areas to begin an avalanche! Rocky areas could probably work, too.

1/2/3 - Higher intensity for higher level.

 

Mmm, That's Some Good Potato - Re-grows plants to pickable state instantly.

1 - Works for edible items.

2 - Works for alchemy items.

3 - Grows a random edible item on the ground should there be nothing...?

 

I Hate This Place - Gets you out of a dungeon.

1/2/3 - Number of levels/depths of dungeons you can get out of.

 

What's That Coming Over The Hill? - Summons a random monster (hostile).

1 - Easy monster

2 - Tough monster

3 - Dragon

maybe a Polymorph-Shout that turns your enemy in something harmless (e.g. chicken...) for a short amount of time. The time span grows with more words found in caverns.

Should be possible as the wabbajack does something similar, though it's a raging demon that chases you.

All very nice ideas.

Certainly some interesting shout ideas, though that Devour Soul one might be already coming from Bethesda via Dawnguard.

 

As for another one that could be easily coded, how about an Unlock Shout? You could always use the "Bex" shout that the Greybeards use when they teach you Whirlwind Sprint, and program it so that it unlocks doors, chests, etc. I know there are spell mods that do this, but for those who may not like that, this could be a nice alternative. Great for thieves.

 

Also, in case your Dragon Transformation one turns out to be difficult or perhaps as a Shout earned prior to that one, how about a Shout that either allows you to fly or make high jumps temporarily? That'd be really neat.

 

You could also add a kind of "Rejuvenation" Shout, one that drastically increases your Health, Magicka and Stamina Regen for a short time. This would probably be better than an instant heal effect. Alternatively, you could make this Shout restore your HMS by a fixed amount over time in case you don't want it to scale too heavily into high levels.

 

Lastly, you definitely need a Lightning Breath and Poison Breath Shout. I was disappointed that Bethesda didn't include these shouts already in the game, restricting the player to Fire and Frost Breath (which both suck in vanilla). Adding in a Lightning and Poison Breath Shout would really increase your options and also work well with mods like Deadly Dragons.

@darkdill

You're thinking of Mastering Souls which raises the dead and yes there will be a form of this in Dawnguard, but I'm waiting on my version until I see how Beth's version works out.

 

Unlock shout? I've never really liked the idea, but I COULD add an effect to the ethereal shout where you can activate anything without needing keys or picks. This way it'll act like you're moving through them instead of actually opening them (although that's how the game will perceive it).

 

Naw, the Dragon Transformation shout is the centerpiece around the mod that I'm taking in all these shout ideas for.

 

I could do a buffing shout...

 

I think a lightning shout was done by DD however a poison shout may prove interesting.
