Dragons dont give souls(still not fixed)

Post » Wed Jun 13, 2012 8:59 am

Great news everyone!
The infamous no dragonsoul bug still exsists post patch 1.5 xbox version.
I just killed another blooddragon that didnt give me a soul.The skin didnt burn like it usually does and no soul was given,sadly.So it seems besides other issues with dragons like glitching into the ground or mountains the no soul bug is still around.
Thank you Bethesda

Was it a dragon respawn? As far as I know, dragons that are the result of "Respawns" (IE scripted dragons, like Arcwind Point, Shearpoint) don't yield souls after the first kill.

Happened to me in the same place, maybe it's the dragon respawn thing the guy above said.

Bonestrewn Crest word wall? I'm not actually sure if it's a bug or not, but ever since Skyrim came out, Scripted Dragon locations never yielded a soul after the first kill, I just assumed it was natural. I never have any problem absorbing Radiant dragon spawns though.

Forget the dragon soul (there's plenty more where that came from), that chest up there respawns like clockwork! :cool:

Yeah, those are the only ones that have not given me one too. Not sure if it has happened every time, though.

However "player.modav dragonsouls 1" :whistling:

Curiously, this is a very simple fix that has been incorporated into the "Unofficial Skyrim Patch" available in most modding resource places like Nexus and the Workshop.
Apparently there's just one overlooked command in a script that resets the dragons before spawning them, and that's the cause of the "No Soul" dragons.

I don't know why Bethesda has a tendency to overlook known, small issues. They could probably have a developer fix 90% of the bugs in the Unofficial Patch in 1 day. I don't know what part of their business model leads to them ignoring the little stuff.

Possibly because they are aware that the modding community will fix them for one platform, and since they are small matters, the other two won't care enough to rebel.
