Shouts
Only usable during main gameplay. There are two things to remember for Kinect shouts.
First, you need to have the shout unlocked to the level that you want to use before the Kinect will allow you to
do it, i.e., if you havent unlocked Fire Breath, saying the shout in English or Dragon Language will do nothing.
Second, you can say the Shout in English or Dragon Language.
1. English Language. Available without holding . You can say the name of the shout, e.g
U n r e l entin g F o rce , which will trigger the highest known level of the shout.
2. Dragon language. Only available when holding . You can say one, two, or three words in the dragon
language of the shout which will trigger the corresponding level of shout.

with a weight of .1 and value of 100, would have a value to weight ratio of
1000, so it would qualify. If the loot limit is 0, only weightless items with
value are taken, i.e. gold.
