Can't absorb dragon souls - Can't progress in main story

[Bashur]

For some reason, out of nowhere, I can't absorb any dragon souls. It seemed to be working fine before, and now? I haven't a clue, does anyone else have an idea? Here's my mod list:

Seems your problem is almost opposite of mine. I can absorb the souls, but can not unlock them to use shouts. The only shouts I have are the ones taught to me by the Greybeards. So, my character just kicks their butt with weapons and magic. Sorry I'm of no help, but at least you know the game isn't just being mean to you. Luck on your endeavor.

Thanks, and your problem sounds terrible D:

"If you are talking about the simply absorbing dragon soul anywhere there is a simple solution.
First you need the UDBP installed.
Than go to your data/scripts and delete dragonactorscript.pex
This is interfering with UDBP's patch for fixing dragon soul absorption
Than run BOSS and you should be good to go.

If it doesn't work you can always restore dagonactorscript.pex in your recycle bin so you really don't have anything to loss by trying it"

There's no DragonActorScript.pex that comes with UDBP.

It is from default skyrim not UDBP. But if you don't have it, your gonna have to check up on all of your mods, I use a lot of them but I don't have the same issue

Yeah, weird, I have nothing like that on my default skyrim.

Yes there is. It's a copy of the one from Dragonborn, to overwrite the one in USKP as a temporary measure until the papyrus source files for Dragonborn are released and a proper merging of DB's alterations and USKP's corrections can be made. As such, the bugfixes done to it are undone: Dragons that respawn at word walls you've already visited won't absorb, and there'll be a bit of script log clutter.

 

I know, I was part of the mad rush to find out what in Oblivion was going on when the problem was discovered.

This problem is happening at the first tower with the scripted dragon fight, I can't absorb the soul. Also, I unpacked the BSA and removed it, and just used the loose files, removing the dragonActorScript.pex from UDBP, but it still didn't work. I'm getting really confused at this point. :(
