  Is it possible to survive in Skyrim using only Dragon Shouts?

  I assume in the early game the answer has to be 'no' - how would one ever capture a dragon soul without killing a dragon in the first place.

  But could you get to a point where you only ever use Shouts? Is there a 'Shout Only' Character Build?

  Just curious...

  I must say, the amount of thought and work that went into that build is just phenomenal

  Thanks Paul, never thought I'd see the day when the big man himself compliments one of my builds.

  I was going to say no due to the cooldown between shouts, but it looks like there is a way to solve that problem. 

  Also, awesome build Albino!!

  Thanks!

  You know, I think it'd be possible without 100% Fortify Shouts, but you'd have to run and hide a lot while waiting for the cooldown to end.

  If Morokei would have the right enchantment (or Miraak a more fitting) it would get possible.

  Morokei 20%

  Amulet of Talos 20%

  Blessing of Talos 20%

  Dragon Aspect 20%

  Total 80%

  If you say shouts as only way to attack, you could get restoration and with necromage you would have permanent 75% and once a day 100%

  Altough it would get hard to get morokei.

  I did something pretty similar on the Crimson Scar, in the endgame. Still one of my favorites. 100% Fortify Shouts allows you to absolutely wreck in any scenario, even with no weapons or armor. (In the case of the Scar, Necromage/Vampirism makes it even more entertaining and effective!) Though I like having some gear on hand, and a stock of my favorite potions, just to add a bit more variety and increase the pace a bit.

  To be a shoutmaster, you'd unlock as many shouts as possible, if you have dragonborn then you'd wear miraak's set which buffs shouts and wear an amulet of talos which reduces shout time by 20% and also a shrine of talos which does the same. Then you'd use dragon aspect which reduces by another 20% meaning your shouts take 60% less time. I'd recommend using fire breath because you can buff it with abilities in the black books and the fire within from parthunaax. Then use whatever weapons or magic.
