As some of you may know GameTrailers Television did an interview with Todd Howard and the art director and it aired at 1:07am EST on Spike TV on October 20th, 2011. There is no video at the current moment but I figured I'd tell you some things that were mentioned for the first time.
 * Dragonshout known as Iceform freezes enemies it hits and they fall to the ground encased in ice. Once this has happened you have the choice of either striking it to cause severe extra damage or you can let it sit paralyzed and it will take damage over time.
 * Dragonshout known as Etherealform allows you to become invincible for a certain amount of time in which you may not attack but nothing can do you harm so it has many practical uses. One being that if the room is severly trapped with for instance floor blade spinners you can turn it on and walk past them without taking damage. The other practical use is that when you are on a cliff/mountain/high location, you can cast it and then jump from said location and when you land you will not take any damage. Example given in the show being that on a quest you run out onto a balcony from enemies and you have the choice to try and stand and fight or cast the shout and jump to the ground below taking no damage.
 * Dragonshout known as Elemental Fury is the first shout announced that actually affects your weapon moreso then anything else. It speeds up your attack speed by quite a bit so if you have an amazing sword but it strikes slow you can cast this shout and for the duration you will strike at a signifcant faster rate.
 * Dragonshout with undisclosed name that allows you to call forth an ally dragon. Along the storyline you will meet a named dragon who likes you and will allow you to call him at any time. With this dragon shout you can call upon your dragon ally to do battle as long as you aren't in a dungeon. If you are within a town and in a fight with the guards he will try his best to fly in and breath fire on the guards as you strike them down. Or if you are fighting another dragon and need help you can call him to fly in and strike the enemy dragon down alongside you.
 * Different types of dragons declared. There will be six different dragon types of various powerlevels and colors. Then there will be named dragons which have a special significance and unlike the 'random' dragons when these ones die they don't respawn.
