grasshopper111 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There I was happily making my way back to whiterun after a relatively easy battle against a mage when all of a sudden a dragons skeleton drops out of the sky and lands in front of whiterun gates! I'm sure it's the same one that was killed at the tower early in the game. Talk about immersion breaking. Has this happened to anyone else?

scrivener07 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You are most likely not running the latest patch. Dragon skeletons were originally planned to be persistent in the world wherever you killed them but this was patched out because of the issue your describing. I dont know of any other fixes for this other than allowing Steam to patch your game. This is only my first guess and your game version my have nothing to do with it. Are you running any mods that may be related to dragons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordPerfect Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 yep. Sometimes I find them half sunk into the ground. Hit them with a fireball for hilarious results. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Not to such a drastic effect, but it often happens that I come across a dragon I slayed earlier and then the bones still move around a bit. I don't think I'd be able to contain my laughter if a skeleton dropped out of the sky, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrotek Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't think I'd be able to contain my laughter if a skeleton dropped out of the sky, though. Pff, fast travel to somewhere into the nothingness and a dead dragon drops onto you (with hide!) is fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might have something to do with my whisky induced state, but the damn skeleton is still there right in front of the gates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex61821 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I killed a dragon the side of a snowy mountain and it rolled down the slope then got stuck in the slope. the body went into the mountain and the head and neck stuck out of the snow. it never turned to bones either so i got no soul stone from it. but i can visit it anytime i want to see a dragon head statue in the snow.

katling Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I've never had a dragon skeleton drop out of the sky in front of me. Giants, mammoths, hagravens, sabrecats, bears, bandits, a necromancer and a Vigilant of Stendarr have all plonked on the ground in front of me but no dragon skeletons. I'm suddenly feeling deprived. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelV Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ive only seen a mammoth do it. Easiest fetch quest ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flobalob Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Haven't had a dragon skeleton drop on me. But I have seen a dragon re-skin itself, when i came out a of a barrow, having killed it earlier, it was still dead though. Kind of like what happens to Saknolviir, if you have got that far into the main plot. Edited January 13, 2012 by flobalob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
