I don't absorb dragon souls anymore!

[DecayWolf]

I don't know why, I was playing normaly, I've killed a dragon and didn't absorbed his soul...
I've no mods, and never installed any...

That's my first game, and that's the first time this happened...

[DecayWolf]

Not much time ago I've absorbed a dragon without any problem...

I don't understand, people who complain about this issue are using any mod or it's not their first game, so why this is happening to me?

[Numb7numb]

How many dragon souls have you absorbed up till now? There might be a limit of how many you can aquire without using them for shouts.

[DecayWolf]

I've 10 dragon souls on pocket, 8 shouts (only 2 unlocked) the first one level 2 and the speed one level 1, I still didn't reach madrak temple, first time I did go there I was lv 11 and that boss on Raven Rock cave was pretty bad ass so I decided come back to skyrim...

So it's a limit of souls already maxed?

[Numb7numb]

It might be that there is a hold limit in your pocket. Use a few to gain shouts and that should open up the hold for a few more. I think I remember that happening to me once also so now I am careful not to save too many without using them. Go for your favorite shouts first.

[DecayWolf]

Oh, nice to hear it's not a bug.
Thanks for help, I'll lead to madrak temple, maybe that's unlock the option to improve/unlock shouts, let's see what gonna happen, I like surprises =)

[who is joe]

i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fennec.exe]

I don't think that's the trouble... I've got 18 dragons souls on me, and no mods related to shouts (exept the Dragonborn DLC). You must know that sometimes the game glitches out and doesn't allow you to absorb dragon souls. It's a fairly common bug. The fix? None to my knowledge. Maybe save and restart the game? I don't know.

At a certain point after going to the island your dragon souls are stolen by Mirrak, you won't get any more till you kill him. You should get his save dragonsouls then. If you have progressed quite a bit, rather than going back to 11 lvl save, go after him, kill him.

No, on Solstheim, it's a CHANCE to get your dragon soul stolen by Miraak. You can't get your dragon souls stolen on Skyrim I believe, only on Solstheim when you haven't killed him.

There's no limit to how many souls you can hold. However, some dragons respawn, at which point you can't absorb their soul twice, an example being a dragon at a dragon nest.

[DecayWolf]

Yes, I'm on skyrim, so I think Miraak can't stolem it.

I think it's could be the case, the area I was exploring is new for me (near atronach stone) I haven't passed there before, but since those drangons keep flying I think it's possible they have reach riften or some place far away from this stone and I've kileld him, I just hope my game haven't gliched.

I'm level 34 now, still wish have a better smithing, but my 2 hands are near level 80, enough to kick asses. My hero with heavy set as warrior hole with some magic buffs is much more stronger than before, also I think that boss on Raven Rock mine, should be harder than Miraak, If he's not, to bad I'm stronger now...

I have a couple of mods about dragonsouls andkilling dragons may be causing all dragonsouls to stop being absorbed after visiting Solstheim, and Miraak did show up after killing the Dragon and Dragon preist up on a mountain in Skytim. But the effect disappeared after killing Miraak.

If you have DLC's on and Unofficial Patches on make sure they are same load order and come after DLC's. As <cR1Me> states is true to word, already killed dragon and it respawns in same spot may not give soul. In first play through I needed one word for to finish of shouts and had over 80 dragon souls up my sleeve.

[DecayWolf]

The wierd thing is, I haven't explored this area, so I don't know if it's a dragon which I already have killed or not.

I didn't have download any unofficial patch or even mods, my game is completely vanilla.

[DoYouReallyWantToLiveForever?]

same problem here too with the atronach stone dragon, couldnt absorb his sould, went to other 2 word wall and kill the dragons there after and i absorbed both of those souls just fine. so it might just be a glitch with the.... lets call it... Atronach dragon...
