I found the shouts a bit "meh". They were alright - powers that don't require mana (or magicka, in that case) but just have a cooldown. Not a new concept but a bit of a touch up - more powers and multiple "stages" of them...so hold down the power button for a more powerful effect.Dynast Brass said:I think Skyrim actually offers some of the best genuine superpowers, albeit not flight.
The cooldown is really not "superpower-friendly", though - by comparison, SR4 blows Skyrim out of the water - super speed is super fun, tall leaping may as well have been called flight at later levels (and Gat out of Hell had flight), the telekinesis and stomp were by far my favourites and blast was...well, a blast as well. An explosive blast was incredibly satisfying to use, as well, since it chain exploded THE ENTIRE STREET. Skyrim cannot compete with any of these, really. Moreover, there was a slight problem of not much to do with the shouts. I think I used something like 4 for most of the game. Even though some were powerful, either the cooldown was too much or it was an overkill. And some were just stupid, like the animal control one.
