Random dragons - not decomposing?

Post by kayli10 »

Whilst wandering about on the many side quests I have come across a few dragons that have decided to attack me.

I have quite a few shout powers that are ready to be activated having "seen the writing on the walls". The way I understand it, I have to absorb 3 dragon souls for each power to be fully operational.

So far I think I've absorbed 6 dragon souls and my only shout powers are Unrelenting Force, the first one received, and Whirlwind Sprint.

All the rest remain greyed out omegle xender.

The random dragons that are now attacking me when I am in their vicinity - when I succeed in killing them, I can search them and remove whatever is available but the dragon does not self combust and I don't get the absorption effect.

Can anyone explain?

Am I missing something?

I've had that happen with some of the random dragons, but I don't know why it happens.

Isn't that because you are out of range to absorb the soul? I think if you kill the dragon and are too far away, the game will glitch and the dragon will remain untouched. Try reloading and standing closer to the dragon when it dies? Either way I think the Nexus has a fix for this. I never had this happen more than once in my over 1k hours so it hasn't affected me much.

You need to unlock shouts by pressing the "R"-key on the shout you want to learn in the Shouts-menu. The game will then ask if you want to spend a soul. Each word of a shout costs one soul to unlock - except some that are given to you by quests or the Greybeards (Like unrelenting force). Hope this was helpful.
