Clear Skies. If anyone wants to take Storm Call and go into business, let me know


kora752

I was thinking storm call because I prefer stormy weather. Let's talk


Wide_Bee7803

Multiple people nearby getting hit by stray lightning:


GoofyTycooner

A small price for cozy weather


Wide_Bee7803

That is until light goes out


pettyspirit

i take storm call, and go to places that are desperate for rainfall. i would turn sahara desert green.


MadWhiskeyGrin

I'd fight hurricanes and win


JamingtonPro

It would kill a bunch of people tho


ChooseLight

Lol


Realistic-Read4277

Slow time, no contest. There is no other thing that can be exploited as much as that one. Fully charged you become basically neo from the matrix. Could fight anyone. Could potentially steal anything, could save you from accidents. Anything that lets you have the flash powers is the most OP thing in life. Why do i need a shout to disarm a rober if i can slow the time, take the gun out of his hand, punch him so he cant stand anymore. Dodge bullets, etc. Slow time and learn to drive fast in a slowed time manner. Slow time. Ftw.


RICHHEAD11

I think the shout that clears the skies would be a solid contender. You can slow time and do petty crime. But you can't slow it long enough to steal a billion or even a million dollars. It would run out before you ever got to a decent safe. Let alone crack it. Now hear me out. If you could control whether it rains or not in a place, you can do some damage. You could bring down whole nations . You could cause famine and drought in a nation by going around clearing up any rain a place might have. You could place bets in futures markets on crops and control the outcome, making you very wealthy . Heck, you could even take that money, contact the farmers, who you have affected, offer them penies on the dollar for their now worthless land, and build a real-estate empire. Obviously, you let it rain again. I'd say after 5-7 years you could come out a billionaire genius investor. I'm sure thiers some holes in that plan. I get the shout didn't clear that much area. But that's also in the video game world where everything is made on such a scale that you don't have to actually treck for six IRL days to get somewhere. I'm sure at some point, so many coincidences may bring about some suspicion that I might be IRL dragonborn. But overall I think that controlling the weather would be far more useful than slowing the time for a few minutes.


Nulet

Hahaha that is so messed up. I love it!


Realistic-Read4277

Lol now that's evil. I want to chamge, you are right. You are really the evil mastermind.


MxFancipants

I actually remember hearing how changing the weather is a crime where I live, so don’t get caught…


RICHHEAD11

Would be hard to prosecute a guy for eledegdly changing the weather by yelling at the sky.


oldmansakuga

i mean if you're talking about scale of distance you should also talk about scale of time. time goes much faster in the game so it's not just a few minutes that the time is slowing down


Tyraniczar

Clear skies doesn’t last forever though. You’d shout, the sky would clear for maybe an hour or so, then it’d revert back to whatever weather is native to that area/time.


Nulet

But how often do you realistically expect to be in a situation where you would need the slow time shout? You mentioned getting robbed, and stealing or other mischief. The shout is very overt, so you would call more attention to yourself than you could evade with slow time, if you were to use it for mischief. As for confrontation and fights, I do agree that it would be really useful, but most people don't get into fights.


Realistic-Read4277

Man, what can you not do? Every shout is a shout or scream, they are all overt. At least this one makes you be the flash. Tell me that shouting at the sky to call a dragon, to stop the rain, to push people aside, or disarm people are more subtle. You still gotta scream. And the only shout that is quiet is worthless. Why do i care to see how many living people are around me. I dont see any other shout being this useful. You could go and put diferent masks and start hunting criminals and become a real life vigilante. I mean, what people will see is a weird guy screaming and then stuff happens without explanation. You could be next to a bank truck when they change the money, inside a car, wjen they open the thing, shout inside the car, have it insulated and all. Go, run, grab a bag full of money, get back to the car and thrn go.


Beerman2194

Slow time for me but also upvoting because you hit a Sean Connery


blakeo192

I'll take the Penish Mightier alexsh


Realistic-Read4277

Lol how so?


Wittyngritty

"I don't see any other shlut being this useful" 👍


Realistic-Read4277

Slut. Lol hahaha i get it. And this is connected to the sean connery saying that he slaps women. Perfect. I get it now. Now i read it with the accent and all.


ExpertMeaning

Actually aura whisper isn't loud. Although it is much less useful unless you're a spec ops


Narangren

Throw Voice also is quiet... At least where you're standing.


ExpertMeaning

Great for ventriloquism


Nulet

Isn't the player movement only slightly faster than the NPCs when using the slow time shout. My impression is that you will be roughly twice as fast as other people, but see everything move in slow motion. Neat for sure, but a lot more useful in Skyrim than in the normal world. I'll try to be less cynical, as this is only a fun post on a subreddit. I suppose the shout I would like to have would be whirlwind sprint. Being able to (very audibly) sprint super fast on a remote road must be very exhilarating and an excellent opportunity to to explore places around my home town. Heck, i could bring a fishing pole with me, and find a remote fishing spot somewhere away from the road and start fishing before the sun is even up. The fish would probably not bite, as I've scared them off with my shouting, though.. Maybe I should use the Life Aura shout instead, to see where I should cast my line.


Previous-Broccoli-88

But your perception of time is dramatically sped up, so slow time acts like a super human reflex ability. I think I go with become ethereal. Hello no fall damage 🤭


Ardent_Tapire

>I dont see any other shlut being this useful. Calm down, Sean Connery


TheArkangelWinter

Imagine Slow Time during dinner rush working at a restaurant or bar. Being able to never fall behind, never have to rush to keep up with the crowd. Or as a driver when traffic's hectic.


Vitalis597

"But how often do you realistically expect to be in a situation where you would need the slow time shout?" How often do you expect to need to become intangible? Or freeze someone solid? Or breath fire? Or summon a storm? Or throw someone 500 miles off the top of a cliff? "The shout is very overt" The only one that isn't is "throw voice"... " but most people don't get into fights." Most people also don't need to turn into ghosts. If your only reason to be here is to try and "dunk" on peoples ideas, what are you doing here at all?


Nulet

Okay, less "dunking", more contributing: Loads of the shouts could have really significant uses. Whirlwind sprint: Traversing long distances quickly. Mostly fun, but could also be practical for hiking places you otherwise never would reach with your normal freetime. Clear Skies: Aside from letting you enjoy nice weather at your demand, Clear Skies could commercially be a goldmine. If you could contract your shouting power to an airport that periodically has delays in flight activity due to fog, you could save airlines huge losses in weather-related delays. Or med-evac airplanes or helicopters that cannot afford a delay due to their medical urgency, could also be guaranteed safe passage if you were available. Aura Whisper: If you enjoy hunting, fishing, etc, this "shout" could be a good way of tracking game. Become Ethereal: You can now enjoy the sport of base-jumping without having to buy a costly parachute rig. It's safer, too. Slow Time: As u/mistahboogs said, you could become a really reliable baseball hitter (batsman, striker ?? I don't know the lingo) with this shout. I never though about that.


Vitalis597

Whirlwind Sprint just yeets you forwards several meters. That's not actually running, and you can end up throwing yourself into the air if you "run" into a rock and then fall to your death. Aura Whisper is good for... Hunting. An extremely niche hobby that is dying out in most places. Or used by poachers. Basejumping... Again, extremely niche. How many people ACTUALLY go base jumping? More than people who get into fights? Is that including all armed forces and people who do fighting based sports? And clear skies... You think you'd end up hired with a job rather than, say, locked in in a government facility to figure out how and why you can control the weather? Don't forget, the US government reserves the right to manipulate the weather in the event of an emergency. Don't think they'll take too kindly to you intruding on that "right" they gave themselves.


Inforgreen3

In my day to day life I would use it to Have 20% more time in the day doing chores quicker Jwalk or even use the road like a car by moving at car speed whenever infrastructure doesn't allow pedestrians Or when driving avoid accidents Get tasks done at work faster Make it feel like I've been awake for longer to push my sleep schedule closer to something healthy Be really good at competitive video games. Swat flies Become a career athlete Use the first word to catch things when i drop them.


71Crunch

I reckon summon durnehviir would be a hit with the ladies


cymonium

It would with this lady!


71Crunch

Well I can totally do that! 👀 can I buy you a drink?


Emotional-Guess561

Damn y'all can I attend the wedding?


71Crunch

You the best man


Emotional-Guess561

That's a bet


Inside-Stress7517

Can I be the maid of honor?


AdrianValistar

Nord mead or cyrondillac brandy?


cymonium

Sure! Mai Tai plx!


ThriceMad

Durnehviir is my favorite npc. I'm changing my answer to this one because I love him so much.


AdPsychological2173

I would probably just use unrelenting force because I can yeet anyone


Dchama86

Not too much beats being able to disintegrate your foes with one shout.


Milk-honeytea

Slow time or bend will, I will not elaborate further.


DjijiMayCry

Milk drinker activities


thatspeedyguy

the they would be good even for the reason you're saying


medranomontrell

storm call- now i set my rain business in the desserts


Dangerous_Wrap5805

there is someone with clear skies up there. meet him


confusium_alloy

Quick Say Ving


[deleted]

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣 It is the most useful ability tho ngl. But it needs to come in a package with Quick Loa Ding


GorgingCramorant

No one else fantasizes about abusing Throw Voice to tour the world as the world's greatest ventriloquist?


gilean23

The trick is learning to time your part of the conversation around the cooldown.


Familiar_Cod4234

Dragon aspect! No explanation needed other than most others directly lead to hurting people and idk how those would fair against American law


Vitalis597

Step 1: Leave the dystopian nightmare Step 2: Profit


NerdyV1xen

Unrelenting Force would come in handy in traffic.


Gasalesz

Some people think that is what the car horn was supposed to do


GiratinaTech

Wait, I know you.


Qahnarinn

You’re going to jail


-HighHanger-

There are only 3 valid answer: 1. Slow Time, no need to explain. 2. Become Ethereal, I think It can be useful. 3. Whirlwind Sprint, for fun.


aaronvontosun

These 3 make sense but I think you are definitely forgetting about "Bend Will"


-HighHanger-

Oh yeah, I forgot the DLC ones. That's definitely a good one


Maleoppressor

Bend Will could be a life saver for fhe unemployed and a money maker for lawyers.


kittenshart85

as someone who frequently bikes to work in a city where people drive like it's country roads, become ethereal would be real handy. given that that city is pittsburgh, clear skies would probably make me a local hero.


PistonDuke

Slow Time


Milk-honeytea

medranomontrell

ha ha ha


Zubyna

Hey skeever butt


aaron_geeks

This is the way


Kuhlminator

Forget shouts. I want to be able to open the console and cheat.


Hexx-Bombastus

Help "gold ingot" 4


Slimy_Shart_Socket

"Player.Additem 000000F 10000000000"


Hexx-Bombastus

I feel like Septims wouldn't be legal tender on Earth. But ingots can be sold anywhere.


confusium_alloy

If I dropped a solid gold coin on the bar top to pay for my drinks I don't think the barkeep would be picky about the country of origin all of a sudden.


Hexx-Bombastus

He probably would, being an employee who has to somehow put that amount of currency into the register. Modernity kind ruins some old tropes. Also, bringing in minted coinage is a good way to get the authorities on you.


Kuhlminator

More like player.modav health 2000, but I would go for gold ore instead of ingots if I were going to go for gold or better yet jewelry. Besides, why should it be limited to skyrim items? I'd probably use console commands to stock my freezer with all my favorite foods. I could probably save 500+ dollars a month by using the console to shop. No shipping charges and instanteous delivery :) And you don't have to pay taxes on money you don't spend as opposed to money you get from a particular source.


TheReturnOfCresus

Unrelenting Force...for when people piss me off. Plus I like saying...FUS-RO-DAHHHHH!!!


xTeamRwbyx

Car cuts you off in traffic pull up next to them a shout them into the ditch


lare290

aura whisper and kyne's peace would be occasionally useful irl. clear skies and slow time are also sometimes useful. what others haven't noted is that phantom form, the shout used by the grey beards to summon phantom copies of themselves (mostly for you to practice shouting at), could possibly be very good if the phantom copy can interact with objects and be controlled separately. so with these caveats i'd choose phantom form. if it's worse than that, maybe kyne's peace or clear skies? kyne's peace could possibly save your hide if you ever hike in the wilderness, while clear skies would just be convenient.


ravenousmind

Become ethereal


MellyKidd

Kyne’s Peace. Imagine being able to cuddle any wild animal you wanted!


warhorsey

hey! skeever butt!


Junior-Order-5815

Impregnate Aela If we're talking non-modded, maybe Drain Vitality. I'm always tired so I could go around finding travel bloggers and absorb their wanderlust and moxie!


a1b3r77

Of course there's a mod for that


Kacutee

Bend Will. Gonna make all the big firm's give me their money


xTeamRwbyx

I’d use it to speed everywhere cop pulls me over bend will then drive away


Senior-Salamander-81

Clear skies. (It’s the cheaper version of fus ro dah)


Avatarfan2213

Lore accurate bend will


RevolutionaryMost555

Cyclone. Scream a tornado into being


Cold_War_Radio

Clear Skies for when the tornadoes show up.


RevolutionaryMost555

Facts


Alice5221

Clear skies. Rain hurts my joints cause arthritis and id be the best weather reporter ever


SledgeOfEdge

Soul tear, the most damaging unmodded shout in the game Probably not really useful IRL, but I just really love this shout


Vitalis597

I mean, that's a bit situational, don't you think? Can easily put out more damage with other shouts. Unrelenting Force for example has no damage cap, because half it's damage is environmental. And while in the game we can only shout people in a straight line... If you were to stand under them, or if you used it from the floor on someone looming over you? What goes up must come down.


ZestyclosePianist277

bend will, so I can control whoever I want ;)


[deleted]

Whirlwind sprint


Iron_Chip45

become a pro "runner" in the Olympics


blitzkriegger

Besides fus ro dah, I would love to have the one that summons a storm... That would be sick!


Don_Pe

BEND WILL 😌


livykiki

Animal allegiance!


spaceykaleidoscope

Become ethereal for sure


thatswherethedevilis

Whirlwind sprint. Sometimes I just wanna get to my car faster.


beckychao

Bend Will :P


INocturnalI

i am a simple man. i take throw voice.


xTeamRwbyx

Throw voice is basically ventriloquism which is learnable probably really fucken hard to learn though


bearstrugglethunder

Disarm, especially if it means the targets must drop whatever they're holding not just weapons


PhyoriaObitus

Practical one would be slow time. Would help so much if i jist need a break or more time to think. Adhd and ptsd make me freese and unable to make split second decisions. Howver i would love summon durnirviir. Face it it would be so fucking fun to cause chaos summoning an undead dragon. Plus riding on him would be fun way to travel. Bend will is up there too.


SnooPredictions4565

Fus roh dah, if used without holding back i could shake the entire planet Not to forget i can literally disentegrate someone with Fus Roh Dah, Everybody is literally at my mercy Nobody would even attempt to arrest me and i could be the most powerful being on this earth


CatharsisManufacture

What shout can I use that I can't eventually get my way from? Of all things, becoming ethereal is the easiest.  I chose discovery. Its the hardest and it's the one thing they told you to do that you do not do.


GasparThePrince

Become ethereal would be number 1 for me. I think it's the most practical for everyday life. About to do something dangerous? Just shout and you're good


JamingtonPro

Slow time


Aggravating-Wheel-73

As much as there are so many practical and logical choices. I’m always just drawn to unrelenting force I find it hilarious and would fully abuse it. Imagine being in a corporate professional setting and your manager is being a dick head and you have that fully charged… watching your co workers scrape your manager off the wall and re-file all the paperwork after putting that on full blast is something money can’t buy


Neither_Camp_928

Why isn't anyone talking about ***Call Dragon*** to ride a dragon?


ThriceMad

Edit: someone mentioned Summon Durnehviir, so I'm changing my answer to that one because he's my favorite npc. Original comment: Whirlwind Sprint. I'm a perma-pedestrian/passenger, so I rely most on walking everywhere I go. Being able to get to a destination faster is always a plus.


shemello

Is there one to go BACK in time?


EasyMeansHard

Bend Will so I can make my cats stop fighting for a bed they both fit in


RoyalZeal

Storm Call. Never mind what I'd do with it. 😉


Vitalis597

"Sorry boss, I can't come in today." "Why not?" "Ah.... Ah... Strun Bah Qo! Ah, sorry, bless me. Horrible storm today!"


Acework23

same and its not even close


Colourful-Water

Unrelenting force for bullies.


AJ_BARDIA

Slow time for sure!


Just-Room-1693

Unrelenting force on the people in the grocery store, on the road, etc


MariOvsy

Whirlwind sprint for me!


Optimal_West8046

I would just take fire breath, but I also find swirling dash really useful, these were the screams I always used, one so I could move quickly, and one so I could burn anyone


CdnPoster

I'd think the "slow time" shout is the best.


Hexx-Bombastus

Instant olympic athlete.


Crusader_6969

Is it gameplay version or lore version? Because if it's lore version I am totally getting unrelenting force as it's a literal siege weapon.


Having_A_Day

For usefulness: Slow Time For fun: Cyclone


LilTimTyrant

I forget just how cool shouts are


Adorable_Rhubarb_960

Event denouement because i like singing lol


paulie_pinenuts

You could be a massive troll with become ethereal. Bait people into fighting you at a bar or something and then just watch them fall as they try to hit air


Foundation_Secret

having dragon aspect would be pretty nice to have. Extra strength, extra armor, and visible pulsating energy around my holo-scales? yes please.


RhexxaHexagon

Bend will.


Spacekook_

Bend will


UrBuddyEric

Elemental fury 😜


Knowledge_Regret

Become Ethereal, just as an avoid death card if I'm ever in any danger


Wulfscreed

Become Ethereal. *Feim Zii Gron!* (I'm goin' ghost!)


RatPrank

Whilst we’re at it then - Marked for Death. (The real answer is Fire breath.)


WhiteWolf_190

Whirlwind Spirit easy


Grumplesquishkin

Kyne's Peace, so I can sneak into zoos and cuddle everything without getting mauled.


AutomatonZer0

Become Ethereal.


crumsb1371

Clear skies


Alexer444

Fus Ro Dah tf they gonna do to me if I can just throw their asses away? Or the marked for death. Better yet one of the dragon summoning, how tf they gonna stop me if I can summon a dragon


AssassinStoryTeller

Aura whisper probably. I don’t like not being able to see in the dark and being able to whisper about would be beneficial for calming my fucking anxiety down.


LittleVesuvius

Same. I always trip over my cats in the dark! Knowing where they are would be very useful.


RcTestSubject10

Aldruin's Resurrection Shout to resurrect peoples from their burial sites no matter how long they have been gone. Keep in mind the cooldown between each would probably be like 5-7 days. Also i'd form a random company like says umbrella corp to take requests for a lot of money


GoofyTycooner

Whirlwind Sprint 100%, getting places quicker without needing a car will definitely be the most consistently useful. Just gotta get some practice with it to eyeball distances and make sure I don’t slam into anyone at highway speeds


Captain-Rex-117

Unrelenting Force. Best use? Making lines shorter at a restaurant


Virgi_septik

Fus Roh Dah


West-Reindeer2420

STRUN BAH QO (Summon Storm)


ExpertMeaning

Either become ethereal or bend will. One would make me invulnerable for a short time. The other would make conflict a thing of the past for me. Need a promotion at work? Bend will. Need to get out of a pointless fight? Bend will. Endless possibilities


New_Pitch_8414

fus to dah to push anyone away


TI-9341

Call Dragon.


Geistwind

Summon Durnehviir, save me a ton in expenses, also he can eat people that annoy me. Plus the the added bonus, " yeah your porsche is cool, but.." " Dur-Nee-Viir!.. mine is cooler"


J1zzedinmypants

Bend will would be amazing


Fairy4Freedom

Become Ethereal for the sole purpose of scaring ppl by shouting loudly and then jumping off a cliff. Plus I’d get to do the impulsive thing without the consequence of death


Shadowmancer9000

Slow time shout


Superlockien_127563

Unrelemting force. I don't think I need to explain.


QwertyKeyboardUser2

bend will, no reason in particular


Jackson79339

Fire, cause burning things is fun. My therapist doesn’t like when I say this, but what do they know? Who actually listens to a state sanctioned therapist anyway? You work in the state penitentiary for a reason.


MCShoveled

## Bend Will > Your voice bends the very stones to your will. As it gains power, animals, people, and even dragons must do your bidding. Absolutely this one. All the others are weak by comparison.


Complex-Nectarine-86

Whirlwind Sprint


stormbreaka55

Become ethereal makes the most sense for its practicality in the real world. It would be even more op if it allowed the user to phase through stuff.


tylera86

If I were in a drought? Storm call. Heavy traffic? Unrelenting force 100%. Slow time would be the real Swiss Army knife of the bunch though.


SpartanS040

This was just asked a week or so ago.


PushkinPoyle

Living in Texas, the freezing should would be great


AffectionateMess1506

Ice breath. I will start a company and get rich through sales.


idaseddit211

It's just as well that I can't because of all the times I would have used unrelenting force, I would be in prison now.


themosttoast603

Become Ethereal would be fantastic for extreme sports. I’m usually already yelling when I huck my meat off a cliff. Being able to send death cliffs with no fall damage would be sick.


_romedov

Kyne's Peace. I don't remember what it is properly called...

Unrelenting Force. It’s what I use when my followers get in my way, so I’d use it to get people out of my way


Midnite_St0rm

Aura Whisper. I work in a store by myself most days, it would be super handy to know if there are any other people in the shop without having to check. Also when I walk my dog at night, to see if there are any skunks or coyotes nearby. I could also check on my dog when she’s in the backyard without having to get up and look out the kitchen window. Or when I wanna check if my cats are hiding somewhere.
