thefinn Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ok, I could've sworn a week or so ago (before I patched 1.2 and 1.3) I could put a human soul into a grand soulgem. Am I on crack or did either 1) they patch it or 2) One of the many mods I installed broke it ? I'm getting a "You don't have a soul gem large enough for blah blah blah" message when I try it. I have the black star, not really concerned, just that going out and getting one soul at a time is really annoying ;) Thankstf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenownedWolfman Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Grand soul gems aren't supposed to be able to hold human souls, for me they never have, perhaps it was a bug in some games, which means they probably fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natelovesyou Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It would have been a glitch if that was at some point the case for you. A grand soul gem/Azura's Star is ONLY for creatures, and a black soul gem/The Black Star is only for people/npcs. I've never had such a glitch, are you sure?

thefinn Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 K, I dunno what I was doing, maybe it glitched. Fixed now I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Grand soul gems never held humanoid souls. just the Black soul gems. if was a bug no one reported it from what i seen with all the posts. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agno Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I want to add a question on top, related to the thread. The game does not imply that a black soul gem is better than a grand soul gem,but is the black gem better? so the only reason for black soul gems is to get grandsouls more easilyby not having to defeat uber bosses for them, but merely a bandit or evena shopkeeper or homeless. nice..... I'mma enchant a new greatsword and name it "Hobo's Bane" and use a grand soul from a street person to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) black soul gem is a Grand soul gem but turned evil in a way. never had any in skyrim but same as oblivion. Grand soul gem - creature souls " wolves, mammoths, trolls, etc.. " best of the soul gems but = to the Black.Black soul gem - humanoid souls " bandits guards etc.. " Edited December 12, 2011 by Guss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweetybird Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think The Black Star is better just because you don't have to worry about actually having a grand soul gem and a soul "big" enough to put in it. Just go on a bandit raid and you're all set for your next enchant/recharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
