bigv32 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) <p>The weirdest thing happened when I started a new game earlier tonight. In the opening scene, I started to hear random sounds that I later determined (via subtitles) were simple insults being thrown around. When the dragon came, I determined it was the dragon. Aldiun was calling me a skeever butt, cheese head, melon nome, troll bait. It was actually funny except for the fact it was kind of immersion breaking as I don't think it is right for a dragon to throw those insults around lol. It seems a bit below them.<br /><br />I was wondering if it was a mod I installed, but after doing some top notch google research, I determined the dragon must have been using one of the shouts that the player can get that shouts insults at people. I came here to simple ask two questions.<br /><br />1. The only new mods I have are Skyre and Frostfall, and from what I have seen both on the mod pages and the esp files, neither of them modify dragons. Has this shout always been in the game (Throw Voice)? I can't say as I have ever had it. Or is it a newer shout from Dawngaurd/dragonborn?<br /><br />The next question is the main reason I have this posted here instead of in the mod section. Because it is an actual dragon shout, I am not considering this a mod/game problem. Just a simple curiosity that I found funny.<br /><br /><br />2. Has anyone ever had Aldiun shout insults at them like this? (or any dragon). It makes sense since it is a dragon shout, but still a little odd for a dragon.<br /><br />It was just so distracting trying to figure out where these insults were coming form till I saw the "effect" that the shout gives off coming from Aldiun himself as he flew around. At first I was laughing, but it did get slightly annoying as it was almost non-stop insults that honestly weren't that funny after the hundredth time lol. I had a plan for this play through, but now my whole purpose in life is to kill Aldiun (after I get all three words for that shout) and then just stand there and scream it at him for a while and see how funny he thinks it is lol.</p><p> </p><p>EDIT: I have no DLC and this situation occurs every time I face a dragon. There are also some random sound issues but those will be really hard to explain and I am not 100% sure they are not actually part of the vanilla game I have just never noticed before.</p> Edited February 13, 2013 by bigv32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakwind Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's been in the game for as long as I have played it, over 10 months, but I've only had it a couple of times and only activated it once for novelty value, never come across any dragon using it, but as it is a shout no reason why they couldn't learn it I suppose. Would be funny to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think those are the insults your adopted kids in Hearthfires yell at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septeracore Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think those are the insults your adopted kids in Hearthfires yell at each other. It could be new dragon shouts from Dragonborn :O - you know, skeever but might transform you into a, well, skeever butt :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchMeGoing Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It is a vanilla shout that has been in the game since the beginning. The reason you've never seen it before is probably because all three words for it are located on the same word wall, so you have to find that one specific word wall and normally no other NPCs can learn it. The shout is called "Throw Voice" and it's used to lure NPCs to a specific place while you are hiding with sneak. Basically you "summon" an insult where you are aiming, so you can lure NPCs away from a door for example. It actually makes for some interesting game play and can be very useful if you want to play a thief character that doesn't kill anyone. As for how Alduin got this shout... I have no idea. Was it a one time thing, or does it happen every time now when you start a new game? If it keeps happening, it is probably one of your mods (or a conflict between some of your mods). I must say this sounds like the most hilarious bug I've ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaikarik Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just remember when you eventually get to that final battle these words will help. "Sticks and stones alduin .. sticks and stones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeCap Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've always thought there should be an insult dragon shout. YO MAH MAH: Effect= Cause the target to cower and cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth2012 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) That is a dragon shout (Throw Voice) you can use, useful especially when sneakin takes attention of enemies to somewhere else helping you sneak so I use it often in human inhabited camps, caves or dungeons but dragons aren't supposed to use them you got a brand new bug I believe.

bigv32 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sorry for being away for so long. For some reason I could never find my own post. I have edited the opening post with this new info. I have none of the DLC. and The insults happen anytime I face a dragon. There have been random noise issues with the game, but I am still looking into it. So far there are no major issues; just annoyance. Any ideas as far as what I should look for? I am scanning my mods using TESVedit, but there are a ton of records to go over. Granted I am being smart about it and not looking at weapons etc lol.
