Well, the magic resistance seems to be fixed.
Verified game cache after updating to the patch just for kicks.

Just fought and killed a blood dragon though post 1.3, and it didn't burn up and give it's soul at all. Also had a random CTD.



I thought they were supposed to have fixed the dragon soul thingy back in the 1.2 patch.






BTW, there are the release notes for 1.3.

Wow, look at that!

An official LAA!

We’re also planning on rolling out support for 4-Gigabyte Tuning (Large Address Aware) next week for our PC users. Stay tuned!

Skyrim Update 1.3 now on Steam | Bethesda Blog

About 1 in 5 dragons fails to give me a soul even with the 1.2 patch. I think it's probably just time to start thinking that it's a normal random game event like finding a treasure chest with nothing in it

Speaking of which, something even MORE annoying. I killed a lot of dragons (maybe 14) and never "spent" their souls because I didn't realise you had to for a long time. Well now I do and I can only spend down to 11 souls and then it says I don;t have any more to spend... even though it lists 11. I then kill 3 more dragons and I have 14 and then I spend 3 and I can;t spend a fourth, again back to 11 souls, unspendable :P

Same here. Had accumulated quite a few souls and shouts before I figured out how to actually spend them. They should have made it more obvious IMO.
Or just made it automatic. Learned a shout and had a dragon soul - automatically used the soul to activate the shout.

Although you have to have an equal amount of shouts to spend all those souls on, or you can't spend anymore....because you don't have any shouts learned to spend them on.

lol more obvious? its hard to miss it. unless your like the guys that played witcher 2 and complained that it was too hard.



On a more serious note, any one have any mods? Not just reskins of items but actual mods. I have one that introduces arrow fletching, but it feels like it was always there.

No I have shouts that need activation with a soul, and 11 souls. But it will not let me spend any of the first 11 souls I got on any of the shouts I have not yet activated.

It's probably a save game glitch...

Not if you're playing with an xbox controller. You have to push X to spend the soul. Other buttons normally used are A. Which would just say the soul needs to be unlocked. Yeah, well, it only dawns on you after awhile that you'll need to push X to spend it. How am I going to know? I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

At first I thought certain earned shouts needed a certain amount of souls before one shout could be unlocked. And so on and so on...
