Dragon Aspect is a dragon shout available in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. This shout represents the true aspect of dragons, their power, and the Dragonborn's power.

Effect[]

As the name implies, the Dragon Aspect shout allows the Dragonborn to take on the aspect and power of a dragon.

When Dragon Aspect is active (with all three words of power) the Dragonborn is enveloped in an ethereal set of dragon armor for a short time, along with a huge bonus to power attacks, an armor rating increase, increased fire resistance and frost resistance, more powerful shouts and a decrease in shout recharge time. With every word of power obtained, these effects rise greatly. Each word of power also adds more to the visual appearance of the dragon armor.

Once the second word of power for this shout is acquired, an Ancient Dragonborn will be summoned to assist the Dragonborn should their health fall below 50 percent. The Ancient Dragonborn is capable of using multiple shouts such as Unrelenting Force and Frost Breath and is garbed in a full set of ethereal Dragonplate Armor. It should be noted that using Equilibrium to lower your health to the necessary 50 percent will not cause the Ancient Dragonborn to be summoned; the damage must come from an enemy.

Once the third word of power is obtained, the Dragon Aspect shout gives a 25% increase for power attacks, 125 extra points of armor, a 25% increase for fire resistance and frost resistance, more powerful shouts, and a 20% decrease in shout recharge time.

This shout acts as a power, and as such, it can only be used once per day. The recharge time associated with this only affects the amount of time that must pass before another shout can be used. The effects of this shout last for 300 seconds.

Trivia[]

  • In the Dragonborn Prophecy, "Dov" is also referred to as wyrm, whereas in Dragon Aspect it is pronounced as "Diiv."
  • As a vampire, the effects of this shout will last longer (more than 7 minutes) if the Necromage perk has been taken.

Bugs[]

This section contains bugs related to Dragon Aspect (Dragonborn). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

  1. Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening.
  2. If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template  360  /  XB1  ,  PS3  /  PS4  ,  PC  /  MAC  ,  NX  /  PS5  ,  XS  , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
  3. Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.
  •  PC   360   If Dragon Aspect is active while transforming into Vampire Lord (or Beast Form) after turning back, the visual effects of dragon aspect may stay even after the shout has worn off giving the Dragonborn a unique look over any armor. This has also been known to occur randomly, even when abilities like Vampire Lord, Beast Form and Dragon Aspect are not known by the player character.
    • If associated with Vampire Lord or Beast Form and if the Dragon Aspect shout is known by the player character, this can be removed by saving as the Vampire Lord or Werewolf and loading said save, or by using the Dragon Aspect shout again.
    • No matter how it occurred, it can also be removed using the console on PC. Use the command player.unequipitem [FormID], where the FormID for one, two or three words will be (respectively) 0402172F, 04021738 or 04021739.
      • The reverse of this is also true using player.equipitem if the visual effect is desirable on the player character, or by targeting an NPC and using equipitem.
  • The Ancient Dragonborn doesn't always differentiate between friend and foe and may attack non-hostile characters such as guards and followers.
    • The only known fix is to heal to above 50 percent health.
  •  360   Attempting to speak with the Ancient Dragonborn may cause the game to freeze.
  •  360   Using Dragon Aspect while fighting a dragon may cause the shouts section to lock up, causing the Dragonborn to be unable to shout again.
    • A possible fix is to cast a spell that requires a charge up and then discharging the spell (e.g. Ice Spike, Incinerate).
