How many dragon souls do I need to unlock all shouts?
There are 20 shouts in Skyrim, each with 3 levels of power. However, some of these shouts require dragon souls to unlock, and others are simply given to the player as gifts / quest rewards. (e.g., Clear Skies, Call Dragon, Call of Valor et al)
My question is:
What is the minimum number of dragons you must kill to be able to possess all 20 shouts at their full power?
From what I see here it looks like 18 are learned without requiring dragon souls, though I'm extrapolating a bit since I haven't reached the end of the main quest yet, myself.
Fuzzy math:
Animal Allegiance 3 Souls
Aura Whisper 3 Souls
Become Ethereal 3 Souls
Call Dragon 0 Souls*
*I'm making the assumption that this works a bit like Unrelenting Force
Call of Valor 0 Souls
Clear Skies 0 Souls
Disarm 3 Souls
Dismay 3 Souls
Dragonrend 0 Souls
Elemental Fury 3 Souls
Fire Breath 2 Souls
Frost Breath 3 Souls
Ice Form 3 Souls
Kyne's Peace 3 Souls
Marked for Death 3 Souls
Slow Time 3 Souls
Storm Call 3 Souls
Throw Voice 3 Souls
Unrelenting Force 1 Soul
Whirlwind Sprint 2 Souls
So...3+3+3+0+0+0+3+3+0+3+2+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+1+2 = 44
