Got a dragon soul from a NPC : V

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:13 pm

Was walking to a quest when this bandit and his gang came running towards me and killed them and 2nd from the last guy gave me a dragon soul. Was like :homestar: ...what just happened?

This was on the xbox and no dragon anywhere near the place, is this a bug or did i just kill the "not so destined to do great things dragonborn"?

LOL, I like the idea that you killed the oblivious dovakiin who had no idea about what he was. Obviously a glitch, though; did you kill a dragon earlier and not absorb it's soul? Maybe there was a delay? Also, did you get the crazy lightshow that comes with killing a dragon, or was it just a notification and the music?

Obviously it was a dragon in disguise.

This is hilarious. I like the idea that you actually killed the real Dragonborn, and now the world just has to settle for you.

YOU are dragonborn, not that second rate trash, way to put him in his place, and that extra soul should help the cause as well

Then that is AWESOME!!! Now I don't want it to be a glitch. That's it: you killed another Dovahkiin. Well done, sir!! :clap:

Ha, I like this idea.

Any race can be Dragonborn, and there's no rule that says there's only one Dragonborn at a time

That said, it was a glitch

I used to enjoy collecting dragon souls, until I took an arrow to the knee.

Well the Greybeards did say you probably aren't the only Dovahkiin alive out there.

On second thought, maybe I'm the Dragonborn, and I just don't know it yet.

Being a dragonborn and to become a bandit who loots ruins and caves and randomly kills the wildlife is just sad....oh wait a minute!

Maybe he was the long lost heir to the throne turned bandit.

I used to get dragondragon souls from guards, then I shot arrows into their knees.

I used to enjoy this joke, but it's gotten old real fast

Moderation is key here

Maybe it's an easter egg, hm?

Well, the dragonborn has a soul of a dragon, and can absorb dragon souls when a dragon dies. It stands to reason that one dragonborn can absorb another dragon soul (and possibly any souls they may have captured in) if they are around at the time of death. It stands to reason then, that if you kill a dragonborn that didn't even know they were a dragonborn, you would absorb a soul from them.

Please tell me you yelled "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE" when this happened.

Only one way to find out...

Go to Akavir and kill Nerevarine. Now , OP!

Or...use the console and clone yourself, then proceed to kill the clone.
Maybe you'd absorb your own soul? o_o

Did you use a soul trap weapon?
