Barring any surprise"Star Wars: The Old Republic"announcements, there is no question that"The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim"is my most-anticipated game of this year. The previous game,"Oblivion,"was for many the first indication of what could be expected from the current generation of gaming console. So it is with no small amount of excitement that we look forward to returning to Tamriel. The latest piece of information to emerge on the game covers a tool in your wandering hero's arsenal: Dragon Shouts.
The name is admittedly a little goofy, but you won't laugh at the power offered by this new ability system that exists as a complement to the game's magic. Every time you slay a dragon in the game -- which, you should note, probably means that there will be plenty to slay -- you absorb the soul of your kill, which is key to learning the powerful shouts, Game Informerreveals. You'll eventually come across walls inscribed with an ancient script, from which your Dragonborn hero will be able to pull out individual words.
Each shout is comprised of three words, and there are three levels to develop for every shout, with 60 words to collect and 20 shouts in all. Bethesda is keeping quiet on the full extent of the powers granted by each shout, but it could be anything from slowing down time to quickly closing the distance between yourself and a faraway enemy to... summoning a real, live dragon to do your bidding. My $60 was already as good as spent anyway, but I certainly won't complain about having the opportunity to lay waste to EVERYTHING with the aid of my trusty dragon.
