Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim won't be the Elder Scrolls -- at least not exactly, given all the changes and revamps they're implementing. On top of the Fallout-esque perks and updated abilities, players will also be using a new combat technique called "dragon shouts."
Sounds pretty damn cool, but what the hell are they, exactly? See, as the hero of Skyrim, you get these cool "shouts," which grant you temporary boosts in combat and enhances your other skills, sort of like a Paragon in Guild Wars. It won't be in any language we're familiar with though, but the long-forgetten Draconic tongue that only your hero and a few other individuals still understand.
You don't just shout these words at random though. Rather, you'll be learning these shouts by absorbing them from dragons you've slain. The less gruesome method involves finding ancient runes in deep, dank dungeons, after fighting off undead and other such nasty creatures.
