drproximo Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm using the "Alternate Start - Live Another Life" mod, among others, and it's made things quite interesting. at first I avoided the dragon storyline altogether, then I happened upon elements of it by chance. I just recently got caught up in one of the more involved aspects of it, Dragon Rising. after killing the dragon, the quest updates to "investigate the dragon", and there's a quest marker on his head, but approaching it does nothing. I think this might be because in skipping the opening, I haven't yet discovered that I'm the dragonborn (and indeed a journal that I read indicates that someone else is the dragonborn after all), and therefore the game doesn't want me to absorb his soul, which is likely necessary to advance the quest. does anyone know if there's a console command or something to fix this? it's not a known bug as far as I can see on UESP. here's a list of the mods I'm currently using:Alternate Start - Live Another LifeArissa - The Wandering RogueFollower Commentary OverhaulUFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul(all 4 unofficial patches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocopherus Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Likely that Alternate Start - Live Another Life has disabled elements such as soul absorption word walls and most shout related things. Is there a setting that allows you to change these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a setting that allows you to change these things? I don't know, I'm still fairly new to mods and I never delved into configurations and settings, I've been trying to stick with mods that I just install and leave as-is. however, in specific response to your theory, I was able to learn the word from the word wall in Bleak Falls Barrow, so that much isn't disabled. also, I decided to try another playthrough with the alternate start mod disabled, I started as normal and went through the vanilla storyline, did all the normal stuff, and ran into the exact same problem. next I'm going to try a playthrough with no mods at all except the unofficial patches. the weird thing is, in previous playthroughs I don't recall this specific dragon battle, I always thought it was a different dragon somewhere else that had me discover I was the Dragonborn. are there multiple ways to get your first dragon soul, or is my memory just spotty? coz if I can avoid this watchtower fight and try a slightly different path I'd like to give it a shot and see what happens. it does very much suck, however, to have to slog through a few hours of gameplay to get to this one point and find it's still screwed.

Rocopherus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Seems as though Alternate Start isn't interfering then, which is good. I'm pretty sure that killing the dragon at the watchtower is the first dragon you can kill, and from there more dragons will spawn and according to UESP, using console commands will stop dragons spawning randomly. Definitely got the right idea to disable all but the USKPs too. Also check that your game is fully updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
