Cannot absorb some dragonsouls

[Warsaw2135]

Hi, does anyone know of a fix for the dragon soul absorption? it seems i could absorb some and not others. for example, i have cleared bonestrewn crest for a second time recently and i did not absorb the dragon's soul. i do not have any quest related to that area like bounty and such.

sometimes the souls aren't absorbed after you defeat/kill the dragon. but when i leave the cell, like moving away for like 500 yards, and coming back to the dragon, the soul will get absorbed as soon as i am back.

if you have unofficial skyrim patch, thats your problem

 

Fix..

Download the unofficial dragonborn patch

 

Assuming you have dragonborn that is

 

Hope this helps :)

thanks for the quick reply. :)

 

i did some more testing and it seems to be isolated to bonestrewn crest. strange since i was able to take the dragon's soul the first time i cleared it.

 

btw i have, i think, two mods that affect dragons like the no twitching dragon that removes the dragon death animation (part of the no spinning death animation mod) and an hd dragon retexture (bellyaches hd dragons).

does fast travel work? i killed the dragon then fast traveled somewhere nearby then went back...still did not get the soul. ill try walking and see what happens.

 

@SkyrimForDaWin

yup, i have the unofficial skyrim patch. unfortunately, i do not have any of the dlcs so i cant use the patch for them. :|

i just walked away. i try not to use fast travel, because of Immersion. but i use it very rarely.

the dragonsouls got absorbed after i walked away and walked back. no fast travel.

but sometimes it takes a bit inGame time to "unlock" the souls. sometimes i have to go away from the Dragon more then once.
