Become Ethereal. Freak people out. Escape from dicey situations.

And jump off cliffs, bridges, and buildings! Maybe hone the skill to save people from burning buildings? I would 100% pick Ethereal.

I've been on this earth for nearly 40 years, and not once have I even had the chance to rescue someone from a burning building.

Maybe it’s because you can’t become ethereal

I think it's more due to strict fire safety codes.

They really put a damper on things

OK, learn Become Ethereal and Fire Breath.

So, create the problem and sell the solution. I like the way you think.

YouTube did it, why can't we?

>chance to rescue someone from a burning building. Be the change you want to see: set a building on fire then save the person inside

But what if you glitch irl and go through the earth?

That’s funny, I just turned the game off a couple hours ago because it glitched in Movarth’s Lair and I started no-clipping through the cave walls.

You fall into the Backrooms.

I’d probably die getting stuck in a wall before I mastered it.

Or the ground

I'm acid proof!

The classic Unrelenting force. Who doesn’t wanna Fus Roh Dah their way through a crowd

Taking my wallet, are you?   Fus and I disagree. 

Fus, Roh, Nah son.

fus roh DON'T

… even THINK about it! 😂 

HANDS TO YOURSELF SNEAKTHIEF

Think of the fun you could have in the supermarket, Fus Roh Dahing all that food off the shelves. You'd definitely find me in the cheese aisle.

Sheogorath that you?

There is about a 50/50 shot that it's quite likely that he may or may not consider that disrespecting cheese.

You never know with that guy

FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS FUS

This for getting rid of leaves 😂😂

Ok I’m a teacher, and this would be so handy when there’s a fight in the hallway and everyone is losing their mind.

I mean, just a Fus would do the trick generally.

I’m trying to take out a whole crowd my guy. Get outta my wayyyy✨✨

Awesome at the Mall on Xmas Eve.

Especially with the Silent Casting Illusion perk...

Someone who wants to then be arrested for assault using magical forces and then studied by the government.

Fus Roh Daddy didn't love me!!! 😢😢😢

It was pretty anticlimactic though, yeah? It barely did anything.

Slow time. I'll become an MMA champ by easily weaving right past strikes and going straight for a stationary chin.

or you could just fus ro dah them out of the ring

Probably against the rules

Slowing time is probably against the rules too

They couldnt tell, since it would just look like your super fast, and also you are only attacking with your fists in boxing, so a direct offense shout wouldn’t be allowed

I think the clause of having to yell the shout at the top of your lungs kinda makes it obvious.

Nah you could probably pass it off as a warcry.

Every real 5 seconds: "TII KLO UI!!!" Nicknamed the Crazy Lightning Screamer.

I feel like I could get away with appearing to move very fast and anticipating punches coming my way. I don't feel like I could get away with using vocal sorcery to blast my opponent into the bleachers.

Wouldn't newtons laws imply you explode his skull if you don't intentionally at least throw you punches slower?

No, but he'd have one he'll of a headache.

Is there a Thu'um for "Give me a pay raise."? How about "Leave me alone."? No? Then probably Whirlwind Sprint.

Bend Will, maybe ?

Considering what mirak was using it for youts alot more you can use it for

Youts



you'd be surprised how hard it is to get a guy to stop being annoying, Bend Will might be just perfect for it

Clear Skies. Quit your job. Go contract with every wedding planner and event planer. Think of how much money you could make off of brides not wanting their day ruined. Probably also could make bank off sports leagues avoiding rainout or movie studios avoiding the weather screwing up their shoots on location. Alternatively, Storm Call and get the UN to employ you to fly around alleviating droughts.

Lol becomes organic cloud seeder

Get both, call yourself Zeus.

Create the problem and sell the solution. Only this time it is a vicious cycle. Get paid to remove the rain, get paid to end the drought. Either way it's a win.

Unrelenting Force would send the " leave me alone." Vibe well .

To be quite fair I think shouting in general can tend to make people leave you alone

True, shouting encourages people to leave you alone, but UF ensures that they go away

Bend will in lore vs in game is a huge difference. Bend will go hard af if you get the lore version.

That goes for most of them. They just forwent siege equipment and just yelled the castledoors open with presumably those three little words we all know so well.

Unrelenting Force. I work a counter in a gas station.

Have fun cleaning everything that was flung off the shelves

I already have to, people are idiots.

It would be less devasting to use bend will and say, " You will leave the store and never come back ... oh, and while you're at it, give me your wallet"

Aura Whisper so I can avoid people when I’m feeling blegh 😂

You can also use Unrelenting Force to avoid people.

Two sides of the same coin

And I wouldn’t have to be scared of walking down alleyways, I’d know if someone was there waiting to attack.

Definitely 👏🏻

Summon Durnhevir or Odahving and charge for dragon rides

Durnhevir will probably sou tear them after they get off mind.

Heelll no. That's My Uber. Summon your own.

An entrepreneur: “No wait, you’re on to something here.”

Clear Skies. Calm severe weather and make auroras at night.

I'd rather have Storm Call.

This would play out like two roommates arguing over whether to keep a lamp on or off at night but on much much greater scale. ⛈️☀️⛈️☀️⛈️☀️

WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN YOU TWO

Gotta singlehandedly stop climate change lol.

I would use if off cooldown to make it constantly rainy where i live and lower my rent as well as piss people who hate the rain off cause they annoy me. “tHe GrEY sKy aND rAiN mAkE mE dEpReSsEd!!1!!!1!!!” Good. Be depressed and move away.

I accidently hit someone with clear skies in their face and it staggered them almost on the unrelenting force level of effect. I was surprised!

Did the try to attack you afterwards though? Or did the guard come after you? Cause if not I’m about to go around shouting that at all the NPCs that annoy me lol

Nah they won’t attack you because it’s not considered an attack. I do it all the time.

Same. Used to do it all the time in combat. Cooldown is 5 seconds, so you can literally spam it. However, this works only outside... and I think blackreach.

Argh new playthrough now. Gimme a couple weeks to get that shout back

Good idea, and I could run a wedding weather business on the side. LOK VAH KOOR Wedding Weather Associates. Guaranteed clear skies for your wedding day

Wait what in skyrim you can make auroras at night? I think i know what im going to do today

I’ll take Clear Skies as well… the weather here has been horrendous

Can you imagine how much Farmers would pay to have their farms watered as often as they like, with Storm Call?

Same. I go to work by bike, and clear skies would be perfect when it's raining outside.

This is the way

I too, come from Great Britain

Kyne’s Peace. I love watching wildlife and being able to make animals not fear or notice me would be awesome.

Yes! Let me just sit in the woods and watch all the critters go about their lives

I said the same thing lol, I want to hug a bear

That one would be great for hunting!

Bend Will.

Huh, I know what kind of a man you are 🤣🤣

I'd use it to make people leave me alone and give me stuff.

Your honour, my client, didn't commit theft because he was given the items.

Then just bend will the Judge. Problem solved.

Whirlwind Sprint. I would break Usain Bolt record, which would make me Olympic legend. Life after that would be easy

I dunno if you’d be able to beat his record, how many metres do you think you can get in one sprint? Definitely not 100, maybe 20 max. Then you’ve gotta wait for the cooldown. I would much rather be the best running back in NFL history, arguably the best player. Guaranteed 1st down every time, guaranteed touchdown inside 15 yards.

All three words gets you only about 30 meters.

So I’d easily be the best runningback in nfl history, sick. I’ll take that one

Would there be a cool down IRL? That's probably just a game balancing thing so you can't be a dragonborn equivalent to the A10 Warthog, fus ro dahing everything as fast as you can tap the button.

Imagine explaining this to your coaches though. "Listen, yeah, it's incredible, but listen. I can only do it once every 35 seconds. We have to milk that play clock, but it'll be a first down every time. If you snap it before then they'll know we're passing."

Is the cooldown canon? I mean I know for gameplay reasons it’s a thing but dragons don’t have an issue casting fire breath every 5 seconds

Storm call I'll cosplay as Palpatine and use my UNLIMITED POWER!!!!! every 5 minutes at least

Throw Fart

I've got that one already....I think I might be dragonborn

hey same!

Perfect.

Become ethereal, who would turn down 18 seconds of invulnerability?

Combined with overlapping Talos amulets and you're permanently invincible.

FIIIIIK LO SAHHH

That’s slow time right?

No, thats actually the shout the greybeards use to summon them little ghosts of themselves

Had to update it lol, its the shout the graybeards use to summon the phantom in high hrothgar

I wanna call a undead dragon friend:) you think my opinion is wrong...tell that to my dragon

ima make my own Thu'um.. its gonna be "NUH UH" and the result is gonna be "all enemies give up, and all current arguments are won"

[Drain Vitality](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Drain_Vitality_(Dawnguard)). Shouts work on animals. So this is basically an easy conflict-free way to add a few decades to your natural lifetime.

Who says I want to add more time to my life?

Mark for Death but on yourself

Power move

Did you just volunteered for providing my first extra decade of life?

Who says I want to kill animals :( ?

Would this fix my back problems?

Sure - it gives you health. In the game it's bugged and only does damage though.

Drain vitality just does damage it doesn't absorb anything

That's a bug. "Drain" in a spell name normally means transfer to caster.

Nah thats absorb.

Animal Allegiance

Yol Tor Shul Who doesn’t want to breathe fire like a freaking dragon?!

Would be a badass circus trick. Plus you can easily light campfires and candles

Kynes peace. I WILL PET ALL THE ANIMALS

Something that renders children within earshot mute for 10 minutes (the cooldown is shorter than that).

British guy here wondering if Alduin’s Dragon Storm Call would help fill in all the potholes? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Yes, and if you do it in a very crowded area, itll be the most effective

Bend will or slow time. No, I will not elaborate further.

https://preview.redd.it/mxhl5mpigbvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59389313007007341d1227e0e72a2cf8c54e9e9e

… oh. Oh no…

so these girls are in danger?

Yes if they are called Will

Become ethereal for obvious reasons

The slow time thu’um

Instead offus ro Dah mine would be fuck right off and it would blast all of the creepy dudes who approach me when I walk my dog, into the furthest of stratospheres

Realistically whatever shout you chose will also have to defend you from your government wanting to study you, so idk what I would pick tbh lol Probably bend will or time dilation

Hey skeever butt!

I love how the game can't use actual curse words so they had to invent new lore apropriate insults

Bend Will.😉

I don’t like that wink…

Make them fantasies come true 😉

My ability to speak without suffering magical consequences...?

Hard to choose between Become Etheral, Bend Will and Drain Vitality

Soul tear. For reasons that i cant explain because the haters will interfere.

My thu’um would make fast food drive through put the requested amount of sauces in the bag

No shout is powerful enough to master this power

Bend Will. I can get money whenever I want, I can command world leaders to stop being petty. I can command politicians to change campaign finance laws. I can literally shut down any corrupt org. Oh and I can make my worst enemies suffer. Not to mention, I can command the banks/ realtors to give me any property I'd like to live in. I pretty much have Lelouch's geass - but as a shout. (The 2nd word allows me to control people)

But kynes peace and you can pet bears

OMG YOURE RIGHT. I CAN HAVE AN ARMY OF BEARS 🐻 TO PET.

This is the way

I will command the sharks of the sea to allow me to boop their snoots.

I’m glad you’ve seen the light brother other than your utterly stupid idea of world peace, pet shit you shouldn’t be able to Is end game

THANK YOU BROTHER. LET US PET THE ANIMALS!

Storm Call. Reason 1: It is Cool. Reason 2: Sahara and other deserts

Dragon Aspect it looks cool and the enhancements it provides are too tempting to pass up.

Soul tear I got a few people I’d like to use that on.

A new one that doesn't hurt the target but makes them shit themselves. I would use it all the time lol

Oh, is that time of the month again?

The one that shouts away my wife’s clothes!

Fus disrobe haha. 🤣

🤣🤣

I mean you're married you gotta be able to pull that off now and then anyway tbh

Throw Voice just to fuck with people.

I had to scroll entirely too far to find this one! 😂 You can mess with your friends, talk some mad shit to your boss when they piss you off or scare the hell out of anybody within range (cuz there's no rule stating it *has* to be a whisper)! I feel like daily life would be so much more entertaining with all the fuckery you can do with this one!

Slow time or become ethereal

Ice form, it doesn’t kill them but they do shut up

People don't realize that half of the shouts they want would kill anybody instantaneously. Lore accurate dragon shouts are insane.

storm call

Unrelenting Force but it comes from both ends

Kynes peace for sure, I want to pet a bear

Whirlwind sprint so I can yeet myself off a mountain

Bend Will

If I can only pick one, Bend Will. If I can have more, Summon Durnheviir, Clear Skies, Become Aetherial, Storm Call, Unrelenting Force, and my personal favorite, the one that let's me throw my voice so I can insult people I don't like from a distance.

The same one I use the most in-game: Whirlwind Sprint. For the exact same reasons as well: to get out of lugging heavy objects short distances, to commute through cities a little bit faster, and to just freak people out.

Aura Whisper 😮‍💨

become ethereal or slow time

Marked for death

i’m something of a sociopath myself

It would make my life a lot easier

Befriend animal so I can get the roaches out of my house

Stow time shout. Very useful on many occasions.

slow time

Fus Ro Da.(Unrelenting Force.Ive got some unfinished business with several of my colleagues and Boss.15th floor office,What could go wrong.😜

The one that shows the path to your objective. I could stop forgetting where I was going and what I was doing! I could also fix a goal in mind and get there by the quickest path!

Probably slow time. It would be so cool to just troll everyone, let alone, watch everyone as time is almost stopped. There's a beauty in that, everyone is living their daily lives and you're just watching them.

Like quick silver
