Summary
ASkyrimplayer with nearly ten years of experience in the game has discovered that the Throw Voice shout in the game makes the Dragonborn talk. This detail may have been missed by players who rarely use this particular shout during theirSkyrimadventures, or those who play certain character types.
Skyrimis a massive game, and one that continuously surprises players even after years of playing it. From hidden areas to the animated trails of ants crawling around, even those who have spent thousands of hours inSkyrimfind something new from time to time. Considering thatSkyrimhas many shoutsfor the Dragonborn to choose from, Throw Voice may be one that’s a little less utilized, and took at least one player by surprise.
Skyrimplayer KhajiitScrolls shared their discovery of Throw Voice making the Dragonborn talk. Generally, the payer character is limited to grunts, groans, and Dragon language, similar to the rest ofBethesda’s mostly silent protagonists. However, Throw Voice works by first uttering the Dragon language to trigger the shout, and then a taunt being spoken in the direction the shout was issued in. The clip demonstrates the player’s Khajit Dragonborn taunting with comments like “Hey, Skeever butt!” or “Hey, melon nose!”
Hearing the usually silent protagonist dip into taunts like these has struck several players as funny. It may come as a surprise to some that with nearly ten years of experience a player hadn’t seen this. However, it’s not only a non-damaging shout that has limited uses, but there are also bugs impacting this particular ability. Elves, Argonians, and femaleKhajit and Orcsdon’t actually speak when using this skill. As such, anyone who typically sticks with these races or race and gender may have never experienced this even if they do use the shout regularly.
Will The Elder Scrolls 6 Continue the Legacy of Secrets?
Skyrimis still loved by many players, and with so many mods to try out, there is still a surprisingly large playerbase supporting the game. However,The Elder Scrolls 6is also on the minds of players who are eagerly waiting to see what Bethesda can do to topSkyrim.Starfieldgave players a glimpse of what the company is capable of, and likeSkyrim,Starfieldcontains a number of secretsof its own. WithStarfieldhaving only released recently in comparison, it may be some time before the majority of its hidden details are discovered. But it’s also a strong indication that Bethesda will be placing plenty of secrets and little-known details intoThe Elder Scrolls 6that players will be surprised by for years post-release.
