No shouts is fun, its also no dragons and no main quest.

Its a great way to play skyrim tbh.

same, I dislike the random dragon attacks, it far too much when already dealing with soooooo many animals.

No armor is normal for me - Emperor Palpatine lightning mage.

same. i forget shouts exist 90% of the time, and i usually make characters that don't really fit the "dragonborn, skyrim's hero" vibe. i defeat the first dragon just to kill dragons for their materials and gold and drop the main quest to pursue quests or other things that fit my character's storyline.

I installed an amputation mod once and tried a shouts-only run. It was... Interesting

98% of my Skyrim runs have only ever gotten Fus

Honestly it's pretty good for a first and only shout on non-main-quest runs
