Thunderchild is possibly the best mod for roleplaying a shout-based character because of how it allows the player to gradually improve their Thu'um by way of lore-friendly activities. Afterwards, the player can improve their new shouts by finding Pillars of the Voice and completing special side quests to earn greater favor with Kyne. There, players can learn up to 29 new shouts by meditating in front of a statue of Kyne, the Elder Scrolls goddess who originally gave humans the ability to use the Thu'um. This mod is something like a Thu'um expansion pack, adding a new location called the High Hrothgar Library. Skyrim Dragonborn Mods: Ordinator - Perks of Skyrimįew mods give shouting a sense of progression as well as Thunderchild. With the right mods (all of which are available via the Skyrim Mod Nexus), Skyrim's shouting mechanic can have a sense of progression and make the player feel as if they are a Thu'um master. Thankfully, Skyrim's modding community has created ways of alleviating this. Even talking to Arngeir, collecting all of the shouts, and meditating on them with Paarthurnax rewards players with relatively minor boosts that don't fundamentally change shouts. There is very little room for growth in the shouting system, and it is much too easy to rely on Skyrim's bread-and-butter shouts, like Unrelenting Force, Slow Time, and Marked for Death no matter what the player's intended strategy is. Related: How D&D Dragonborn Characters Are (& Aren't) Like Skyrim'sįor instance, if the player wanted to roleplay as a student of the Way of the Voice - as they might in an RPG about using dragon shouts - they only have a limited number of ways to explore this in their character's build. It hardly makes one feel like a Dragonborn, a legendary fighter with the soul and voice of a dragon. Skyrim's dialogue, books, and world all suggest something deeper, but the gameplay only reflects this at the surface level by providing abilities that accentuate the series' core skills like swordplay and spellcasting. The problem is that the power of Skyrim's Dragonborn, the Thu'um, is not properly represented in anything but the game's story elements, despite the fact that it's a unique feature and core selling point. Throughout Skyrim's story, Bethesda tries very hard to convince the player that Dragon Shouts - and their coinciding philosophy, the Way of the Voice - are deep, nuanced skills that few creatures (even Dragonborn) can truly master. Despite the player's legendary status as Dragonborn, however, the game does a very poor job at making them feel as such during gameplay.
