I just installed the official patch 1.4 over the patch 1.4-beta and now, when I kill a dragon, do I not get its soul any longer. WTH?!
Edit:
Tested it after I had created a new save file and started the game again. Two blood dragons did not give me their soul (no fiery animation, no soul trap, no new soul under SHOUTS). Only after I killed a third dragon, which was an ancient dragon, did I get its soul.
I can provide a savefile if needed.
