Dragons Falling From the Sky Dead at Random Times

[shadow56]

At random times a Dragon will drop out of the sky in front of my character dead. I can be traveling down a road, in the wilderness somewhere or in a town when it happens. I cannot retrieve a Dragon Soul from the Dragon but I can loot its contents. So far it has happened about 4 or 5 times at different locations. It is not breaking my game but it is a little weird. Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.

Yours sounds more interesting. I get the same thing with Hagravens. It doesn't seem to affect the game any.

It's happening because raining cats and dogs would not have been suitably epic for a game like Skyrim.

Same thing has been happening to me....WTF

This has been a known bug from virtually day one. I'm pretty sure that what falls is the last thing you killed and it generally, if not always, happens on transitions (like fast travel or exiting an interior cell into the Tamriel world-space, or perhaps when crossing exterior cell boundaries). I've seen it happen with just about anything -- dragons, giants, sabre cats, skeletons ... and in some cases I've been able to verify that it was something I had killed earlier, either because it had a unique name or because of contents I left in its inventory.
