Indicator for filled soul gems?
Is there no indication that a soul gem is filled? It looks like I have to click on random ones until I find the ones that are filled/ This seems wrong. maybe I am missing something?

You have to inspect the item for more info. Very annoying. It's like that for enchanted weapons as well.

the button you use to make your inventory appear when looting containers also happens to be the inspect button.

on controller you click right stick.

Gems facing down to the right are unfilled. Gems facing down to the left are filled.

Edit: Filled gems are also lighter in color.

Edit 2: If it's worth 500g, it's Grand. 350g for Greater. And who cares about the rest as they're garbage.

Thanks all. Kind of wish they did "(filled)" like in skyrim. seems like a nice QOL feature they could consider.

well, that's a bit more uh... you can literally just check it's details w/o having to go and 'use' it to check what soul it has... it will say if the soul is petty/lesser/greater/etc under the details w/o having to go to the use menu lol
well, both work either way~

You don't have to use it to check its cost... it also saves you an extra click from going into the details. 500g = grand. 350g = greater. Everything else is worthless and can be thrown into your enchanted weapons without a care.

Right now I've got two Grand Soul Gems in my inventory with greater souls in them; one is dark blue for 200g and one is light blue for 350g. I also have two Greater Soul Gems; one is empty and one is filled with a greater soul but both are 100g with the same icon.

Ergo, you can't tell by looking at the icon or the value, only by the "show details" key.

It seems inconsistent for the petty soulgems. They look the same, but have different prices (because some are filled). Seems weird.

Did you fill the gems yourself or did you find them like this?

That hasn't been my experience, at all. Every gem that is unfilled is darker and to the down/right. Every gem that is filled is lighter and to the down/left. Maybe a visual bug.

Mine are visually different by angling left or right. The prices seem a bit inconsistent, but that must be due to smaller souls being in larger gems. If a grand soulgem has the high price, it has a grand soul in it, though.

I noticed something annoying regarding black soulgems, or my memory is faulty. They can now trap the soul of everything, not only humans (or whatever player race).

I agree that there are soul gems as described by you, but I think these can only be bought or stolen.
The ones I filled look exactly as the ones that are unfilled. :wellok:
