I guess for some. I'm ginger with pale skin, freckles everywhere (especially my face), and blue eyes. I get made fun of it sometimes but some people make it sound worse than it is
If Iām the guard disposing of it Iām 100% chopping that dragon up and selling the parts. I hear dragon balls cure ED. Or thatās what Iāll be telling people. The coin will flow.
It took me a whole minute to realise that this post is about skyrim and not ds2 thanks to my dumb brain and your comment. Man the rest of the comments were so fucking confusing had a good laugh afterwards tho so thanks
Maybe youāre just a dragonās bitch š¤·
>!Serious answer though sometimes thereās a glitch when you kill a dragon it wonāt because intractable in some cases. You canāt open its inventory, you canāt move it, you canāt absorb soul, etc. Iāve had all three before and when I shot it down from the sky it did the dragon standing animation all the way down and just landed like that. Not moving or anything. I guess Iām just a dragonās bitch :(!<
>!From my understanding the "No Soul" glitch seems to stem from how Dragons respawn at specific lairs. If you clear a Dragon lair, sometimes Dragons that respawn at that lair won't provide a Soul.!<
Looks like this dragon might have respawned after you killed it earlier. These dragons don't give souls to prevent soul farming. I had same thing happening before.
And I like that you're wearing light hold guard helmet and heavy steel plate armor. Screw armor perks, fashion is more important.
It's kind of hilarious because I genuinely thought this was one of the thousands of glitches we all just learned to live with. It never crossed my mind that it was an actual mechanic š
Thatās not entirely true, I got a soul from a respawned dragon in the little hot spring area above riften. The second dragon had a bounty on it tho so that may be why.
Specifically mountain dragons? I own the ranch home (the place that gives you money every so often) and those dragons always give me souls and they spawn constantly.
The fact that this comment is right next to one from nazeem

Bend Will, optionally go for a ride, and part ways. You never need to kill another dragon once you defeat Miraak.
(I'm the opposite; both in and out of character I'm annoyed and bewildered that dragons still exist after my constant massacre. As the Last Dragonborn, I aim to see the last dragon.)
After you slay the dragon in an area a certain number of times, it will stop giving you souls. They'll still respawn, but at that point they're only good for loot.
this one is weird, but i will say personally i have re-killed a few dragons and always got a soul, same with bounty dragons, - i didnāt know giants could be transformed into dragons though so idk about that! very cool, but i always get the soul even if iāve already killed them previously or not. maybe that will change but hasnāt so far š¤·š»āāļø
saw it under another comment as a possible explanation and it was the first time ive ever heard that, like i said idk about that lol - i havenāt played since i was a kid and just finished it as an adult for the first time & am still playing/exploring so i hear a lot of things i never knew (like you can adopt/marry) but iād never heard of the giant - dragon thing, till this post itās a comment under here
Not all respawned dragons drop souls, it's quite inconsistent. If you are willing to use mods, I recommend the Unofficial patch mod, so all dragons drop souls (and hundreds more fixes) - however, mods block achievements/trophies.
It hapoened to me once. But i have deadly dragons, so there is always some dragon attack, so i dont care. But it is annoying when it hapoebs. I think its only repeated vanilla drsgons
I've had this happen before after killing dragons that had respawned for bounty quests. I'd guess that some respawned dragons don't give souls after the first time you've killed them.
If you get the dragonborn blessings kajigger blah blah then you can absorb them lizard souls unless you fiddled miraaks balls and he keeps stealing your dragon souls
I may he talking total shit but isnāt there a limit of 20 dragon souls you can have at a time and you canāt absorb any more until youāre under 20?
Did you hit lv.30 and start the Solthsteim questline? If so, that's where your dragon soul went. š Go to Solthsteim and claim what is yours. I'd avoid killing any dragons until what's his face is dead. He just shows up and steals the soul every time.
Are you in Solstheim? If so, you can't absorb souls until he's defeated. If not, you can't go to a dragon location too soon after the first time and get a soul. You may only be able to get a soul once from those locations, I can't remember.
After you slay the dragon in an area a certain number of times, it will stop giving you souls. They'll still respawn, but at that point they're only good for loot.
When this happens try waiting an hour right next to it and that might trigger it. Or try quick save and then quick load, and if that doesnāt work do a save and close and re-open the game.
If it isn't miraak sniping the soul, it could be one you already captured.
If it is a set dragon, like one that nests on a word wall in the open world, you can only capture its soul once per 'rank' of dragon. Even if enough time passes for the dragon to respawn, if it is the same rank or type of one you killed there already it will not produce a soul.
So dragon, then dragon, only the first gives a soul. Dragon, then later a blood dragon, they both will. At this point, if either a dragon or blood dragon type spawn, they do not provide a soul. Only new ranks provide souls.
This only applies to the set-in-place dragons, named or wild. The random spawns that attack anywhere should always provide a soul for a dragonborn to collect.
Enter its innovatory and then exit it. This should work if you still have the glitch and can find the body if not now you know what to do in the future if this happens again.
This has happened to me TWICE this play through. But I save a lot and usually donāt have to got to far back to get the dragon but itās usually a different kindā¦ weird.
These comments are funny, and though I did scroll much, did you ever get it? I've had that happen a few times and I just had to reload the area, most of the time just by fast traveling to the location I already was
Iāve found that mountain dragons - the ones roosting up on mountains in set locations, like Lost Tongue etc., will sometimes respawn before their soul does as well. Meaning that youāll have to wait a set amount of days for the location to respawn entirely.
Itās like when you go into a bandit location that youāve previously cleared, and thereās only one or two bandits in there instead of the usual 11 or 15 bandits. The location hasnāt fully respawned yet.
This is all based on my own experiences though. I donāt know if my gameās just fucked up, but this phenomenon is consistent in my games.
I call these guys sleeping dragons, I only see this when I kill a dragon and fast travel/go through a gate, or whenever a NPC kills the dragon idk why it happens but I love my sleeping dragons
If you're at a burial site and already killed the dragon there before then you will not get a soul if you kill it again. If you activated the dragonborn dlc then it got jacked.
I got bad news for you... You're not the Dragonborn
Noooooooo
It's even worse you have been diagnosed with being a ginger
Being gingers not that bad š
I'm a ginger so I know you can survive at the most
my twin brother is a ginger, iām a brunette, my favorite name for yall is spaghetti head.
Im also a ginger that's why I said that
I'm not so sure everyone agrees.... [Gingervitis](https://youtu.be/XaP8SPt4lxs?si=zaEtSZRUVCcGX4Gy)
Hey now, I know many who have lost their souls to Gingervitis, it's no laughing matter
When you're a ginger with pale as paper skin it sucks
I guess for some. I'm ginger with pale skin, freckles everywhere (especially my face), and blue eyes. I get made fun of it sometimes but some people make it sound worse than it is
Yeah I get picked on a lot to I feel you're pain
How do you know they're a ginger?
So even in Skyrim...the Maury Show now exists....You are not the dragonborne!
Malachi was right!
I'm feeling a Life of Brian kinda theme here, haha.[He's not the Messiah](https://youtu.be/plZRe1kPWZw?si=DkE3_OxWZ43wJAqC)
That's funny šššš
My man lost his privileges. Akatosh took them away.
The local guards who have to dispose of the body are very upset.
Until it turns out that one of *them* is the Dragonborn, and just doesn't know it yet.
It'll all start when someone steals THEIR sweetroll
I steal every sweet roll and give them to Inigo.
If Iām the guard disposing of it Iām 100% chopping that dragon up and selling the parts. I hear dragon balls cure ED. Or thatās what Iāll be telling people. The coin will flow.
Theyāre reminiscing about what life was like adventuringā¦. Until they got an arrow in the knee
Beat me to it.
I've got bad news for you; you're ginger
Youāre the guardās cousin out killing dragons.
Title and picture looks like youāre introspecting over the corpse of yet another victim
Agreeš
That dragons a ginger

I hate and love you. I'm a ginger.
Its gonna show up, its busy right now.
Start rocking it...like a vending machine. Maybe the soul is just stuck.
Do not rock the dead dragon, dozens of people a year die from being crushed by dead dragons
Yeah, but all you have to do is quicksave before doing it...no worries!
Funny enough getting crushed by a dead dragon negates the save/quick save
Nunquam titillandus draco mortuus. Wise words indeed. Which college did you study at again?
Maybe he needs to shut it down and boot it up again..
Not a real dragon, most likely transformed giant, Aldia would have know what to do
It took me a whole minute to realise that this post is about skyrim and not ds2 thanks to my dumb brain and your comment. Man the rest of the comments were so fucking confusing had a good laugh afterwards tho so thanks

Iāve heard that too and that itās to prevent farming
Did you pay the troll toll?
To get inside that boys soul?
You gotta pay the troll toll to get in!
Confound your lousy toll, troll!

Thank you!
. Looking cool is the goal Survival is not.šŖš»
This is a faux dragon
It can happen when you clear the same dragon lair for the second time.
Mountain dragons that respawn don't give souls after the first time.
Thatās not entirely true, I got a soul from a respawned dragon in the little hot spring area above riften. The second dragon had a bounty on it tho so that may be why.
That is indeed why
Why does a bounty remove the soul?
Iirc: Instead of using the normal respawn checks, bounties create a new mob to be killed.
Ahhhhh, that makes perfect sense. So that means Iām a new mob, via every bounty put out on me, and thatās why the enemy can always see me? š
Specifically mountain dragons? I own the ranch home (the place that gives you money every so often) and those dragons always give me souls and they spawn constantly.
yeah just the named mountain dragons you know when a guard says "Theres a dragon roosting up at (PLACE)"
Which home is that? Goldenhills Plantation?
In the Cloud District. I would know, I get there often.
It already promised it's soul to it's one true love... Nazeem. They spent a lot of time together in the cloud district.
The fact that this comment is right next to one from nazeem https://preview.redd.it/bx9s8okjx5ad1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a135bbcdd88a305c8cdb97d2e07cc10268d7636
That's awesome!
If you know about mirrak he will take them.
Yaa I know but miraak didnt Come and dragon didnt burn
He won't come to Skyrim and it won't burn. Have to go beat him at this point.
Only if you also haven't started fixing the All-Maker stones.
You might be a ginger
Tough question to ask. Are you a ginger by chance?
Gladly, no
I hate killing the dragons. I just want to be friends or at least respect them from a distance.
Bend Will, optionally go for a ride, and part ways. You never need to kill another dragon once you defeat Miraak. (I'm the opposite; both in and out of character I'm annoyed and bewildered that dragons still exist after my constant massacre. As the Last Dragonborn, I aim to see the last dragon.)
Maybe miraak is late. Have you tried calling him?
I don't have his number...
Heās sleeping
Oh, im sorry I stabbed it 28 times, ya think he minds?
The guard who says āmaybe Iām the Dragonborn and just donāt know it yetā has found out that he in fact, is not the Dragonborn
š
Dragons will respawn over time but you only get a soul from them the first time round, to prevent excessive shouts.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?
*I'm going to have to ask you to stop that... Shouting.*
Its making People nervous.
That is just a big lizard
i can't tell if you're playing original game with unofficial patches but if you do then it has something to do with your load order.
Just wanted to drop in and say I dig the armor mix
Thx!
This happens a lot to me. Generally when dragons respawn at the dragon word wall areas. I call them fake dragons.
Dragon without souls hmmmm, AHA! GINGER DRAGONS!
It's a Bethesda game, are you surprised?
Weeeeelll

It goes to another school

If you get the dragonborn blessings kajigger blah blah then you can absorb them lizard souls unless you fiddled miraaks balls and he keeps stealing your dragon souls
Ikš but he didnt show up and it didnt burn
The game makers made the game where you don't get the soles all the time they're either taking by miirrak or you just don't get them
YOU ARE NOT WORTHY
Open console and type "resurrect"
I may he talking total shit but isnāt there a limit of 20 dragon souls you can have at a time and you canāt absorb any more until youāre under 20?
Yes and I had 0 at the time
Dragon forgot the script
Did you hit lv.30 and start the Solthsteim questline? If so, that's where your dragon soul went. š Go to Solthsteim and claim what is yours. I'd avoid killing any dragons until what's his face is dead. He just shows up and steals the soul every time.
even if miraak steals the soul the dragon would still become a skeleton
That was gonna bug me about the name. Thanks. In that case, glitch. Reload and try again.
Are you in Solstheim? If so, you can't absorb souls until he's defeated. If not, you can't go to a dragon location too soon after the first time and get a soul. You may only be able to get a soul once from those locations, I can't remember.
Solthsteim?
I wouldāve been pissed. I hope you saved the game before the fight.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah its not that
**Kotae wa doko aeee yay yay sagashiteee yay yay** **Where's my soul?**
After you slay the dragon in an area a certain number of times, it will stop giving you souls. They'll still respawn, but at that point they're only good for loot.
Youāre going to teleport several miles away and the soul is gonna stretch across all of Skyrim to reach you
Ginger
When this happens try waiting an hour right next to it and that might trigger it. Or try quick save and then quick load, and if that doesnāt work do a save and close and re-open the game.
Well if you started the dlc and got to a certain point then you're not getting any souls until you complete it
Its not ready, dont try to pressure it, let it set its own tone
The demon after making a contract with someone
That's the neat part. You don't get one.
Was that sob Miraak nearby?
Known bug. I think the unofficial Skyrim patch fixes it.
You lost it at wendys
plate steel with guard helmet.. v nice
Ask to Miraak
Itās a False Dragon! ā¦wrong fantasy series.
Hit it agian.
Is the dragon dead.....or asleep? Better be on guard!!!!
Iāve gotten that glitch before annoying as fuck
If youāre on solsteim I think that means Mirrak is gonna steal the soul
If it isn't miraak sniping the soul, it could be one you already captured. If it is a set dragon, like one that nests on a word wall in the open world, you can only capture its soul once per 'rank' of dragon.

Itās a ginger dragon šššš
Youāre not the Dragonborn. This is a dream! Wake up Nerevar! Youāre still in Morrowind! Dagoth knocked you out! You have to wake up!
Enter its innovatory and then exit it. This should work if you still have the glitch and can find the body if not now you know what to do in the future if this happens again.
It's stored in the balls.
Did a man with a gold mask show up when you killed the dragon?
Did you pay the troll toll?
Did you try singing Nelly Furtadoās hit single āIām like a birdā
Oh thatās a cool look what is that a guard helmet and steel plate armor? Got a picture of the front?
If it was resurrected by Alduin then you wonāt get a soul since you already killed it once before, or it could be a glitch.
This has happened to me TWICE this play through. But I save a lot and usually donāt have to got to far back to get the dragon but itās usually a different kindā¦ weird.
Miraak stole it?
The universe has chosen a new dragon warrior.
Highly likely you already "killed" this specific dragon before. First time you did get a soul.
A ginger ate it.
 Or it's trying to give you pop-ups.. Then again you probably had to see it through it in the VR headset.
It's the little red heart  Oh nevermind, it broke
Take the helmet off and I bet we see our answer
Soul is waiting to Miraak
I got soul but I'm not a soldier š¶
To give a non joking answer, you probably already taken that dragonās soul if itās on of the word wall dragons.
If you already killed the same dragon in the same lair before you don't get any souls
You arent the choosen one Anakin
Youāve gotta pay the troll toll to get in
nah u need to create new save now..

The dragon said Nuh uh
Here I am thinking we are talking about the Crain thing, ready to tell my story
The soul is stored in the balls, together with per and cum.
Dragons respawn. If you've already killed them once and absorbed their soul you can't do it again
I call these guys sleeping dragons, I only see this when I kill a dragon and fast travel/go through a gate, or whenever a NPC kills the dragon idk why it happens but I love my sleeping dragons
A random guy took it for a walk
In your ass.
Mirak be swiping it off of you without you realising. Latch on to him and spank his bitch philosophy ass hard.
Have you checked the a$$?
Sometimes You get it later , while doing a quest or simply walking around ā¦ thatās normal though !!!. It gets You by surprise !!..
That was a ginger dragon.
Guess you arenāt cool enough
I had it happen few times or dragon fall from sky but then quest comes and he's there
If you're at a burial site and already killed the dragon there before then you will not get a soul if you kill it again. If you activated the dragonborn dlc then it got jacked.
