» Thu May 17, 2012 1:17 pm I notice the bug fix blog lists the following:
1) Dragon corpses now clean up properly
2) Fixed rare issue with dragons not properly giving souls after death
3) Fixed rare issue with dead corpses being cleared up prematurely
Regarding #1. I have a dead dragon around Solitude that hasn't cleaned up. There was a time I came out of Solitude down under the arch and there was a dead dragon laying in front of me and I captured its soul. I didn't kill it and never saw it alive. It was just there. Since then, I have fast traveled to Solitude and outside of Solitude and I've seen it appear on a building by the docks, and now it's in Solitude. It hasn't faded away, it doesn't look like the soul was absorbed... I think it's just not cleaned up yet.
If there was a bug where they weren't cleaning up properly, should the patch cause those that are already around to disappear?
Edit: Is there any other information that I should provide? I'm about 90 hours into the game, my Argonian Character is level 47...
Regarding #2. I fought a dragon in the Giant camp between Riften and Windhelm. The dragon died, and I stood around for 2-3 minutes after killing the giant and I never absorbed the soul. It seems weird that I didn't encounter that issue until after I upgraded to the patch. (I'm not overly concerned at this point, since I gained a soul from the dragon in Solitude that I didn't kill or see killed.)
Regarding #3. Can I get more information on this? There are times I'm killing enemies in caves, and I can't find their corpses afterwards. I've seen this a couple times now, but it could be that I'm not looking in the right places as arrows tend to send corpses flying. Again, I've only really started noticing this since the patch, but I'm not entirely sure it's going on or if I'm just not looking in the right areas.
