Vindekarr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I encountered the Blood Dragon at Saathal and after a mighty battle it rose into the sky to flee. I drew my bow, aimed high, and shot it, Bard Of Dale style, right in the stinky draconic armpit. The mighty dragon crashed to earth like a falling meteor and I rushed forward, eagre to make some more Dragon armour(if you don't have either Glass, Ebony, or Dragon armour yet you're missing out on some gorgeous gear, Glass especialy, pure Malachite FTW) but as it landed with a thunderous crash I knew something was wrong. Instead of bursting into flame in an eructation for pure draconic hate, it's mangled corpse just lay in the snow, upside down, and grinning like a simpleton. As I stepped close and gave it a punch in the face for wasting my time, I realised it had no soul to give. leaning closer, I saw it, the cause of the abomination-the red fur that sprouted from it's pate. :teehee: :teehee: :teehee: Weasley-dragons: totaly useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilibran Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Had it a few times to. Do'nt really recall if it was in a spot where i killed one before. The dragon does'nt burn up and does not give you a soul, but you can still loot it for scales & bones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson277 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 had the same problem i think it is a case of you already having its soul ,its happened 3 times to me and each time its been at the same spot of a previous dragon kill ,one screeny i took shows a dragon skeleton and just down from it theres a dead dragon body, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgyel Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So, I think there is a limit of Dragon Souls absorbed, because they are used only for activating updating shouts, they are as many as the shouts and their updates are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 There is a glitched dragon script. It usually (not always) is a dragon called..... Dragon. Its a random spawn critter, but, can be other types. There is nothing wrong with your system or load. Its just a badly coded dragon. It happens across all Skyrim loads and ports.

raymondNZdnd Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not quite the same topic, a couple of weeks ago (after updating to version 1.4.wotnot) my son was wandering around and came across a dragon skeleton (not too uncommon) .. but then he started absorbing the dragon soul (??) .. followed by the skeleton springing to life and attacking him !!Picture battling a now soulless dragon skeleton ... that appeared to be immune to damage.After a while he decided it was easier to just run away.((Tried taking some screen shots while he was fighting it, so should look to see what we got)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsung Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I heard something about this, maybe it's because you're killing the same dragon twice? Or maybe that particular dragon just didn't have a soul? Yep, I just killed 2 dragons in the same place for the jar l of Riften and it didn't burn the 2nd time. Haven't collected the bounty for the 2nd round yet ...

ChihaTanka Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I had a couple of them do this and I noticed that it never stopped twitching just a little bit. The script for the dragon may need the dragon to come to a full stop before it burns and if the dragon lands somewhere that it glitches and keeps twitching(no matter how small a twitch) it will not complete and let you absorb the soul.
