Re: Skyrim question "mod past dragon rising quest"
alright i fixed the carry weight problem, turns out it was the grand soul gems causing it.. but the mission is still glitched, the character just refuses to obsorb the dragon soul for some reason, i give up.. i'm just going to permanently delete the dlc and chalk the 40$ i spent as a lesson to never trust dlc from bethesda.. thanks for trying to help bro.
Re: Skyrim question "mod past dragon rising quest"
Also, just to make sure. When you downloaded the Dragonborn DLC, did you start the DLC questline before killing the Whiterun dragon? Once you get to a certain point early on in the DLC, Miraak will start absorbing the souls of most dragons you kill, up until you finally defeat him. I've heard of glitches occurring because of it, and the sometimes the glitch is fixed when Miraak is defeated. Something about a flag being up that tells the game that Miraak can steal dragon souls, and the flag interfering with main quest dragons, specifically the one outside Whiterun at the beginning of the game.

nah.. it doesn't matter if u do the quest immediately, later, or in between.. the dragon doesn't even disintegrate it just lays there, this is definately a bug related solely to the dragon rising quest cause once the game was modded past it my character went back to taking souls from dead dragons like normal.

Well I started it up and I can absorb Dragon Souls like normal. I played the DLC and it doesn't glitch for me. Ill try using your save again and I'll let you know how it goes.

yea chrome managed to resolve the issue on the save i posted but its strange how this particular glitch only effects one quest, i thought it had to do with dragon soul obsorbing in general but after the dragon rising quest was complete everything seemed to go back to normal which really makes no sense, so you're saying you didn't encounter this glitch after downloading the dlc?

I've had a few characters glitch on that quest too, some completely legit, some modded, a few times the dragon didn't even fall, it just stayed in the air with no health. Pretty sure it's just that quest that is somehow bugged, but I've never been able to figure out what causes it.
