Maybe a dragon soul gem, worth many points!

Wait.. I'm not a troll, your the troll...

How is that trolling?

All I read was soul catch on the title and drifted into my own world, I thought to myself,"What if you could extract a soul and put into the body of another?"

Imagine a fully grown man running around thinking he's a kid again. xD

On topic:- The dragon got burned away as soon as it was killed so I would say you just had to kill it.

Yea, it would be really annoying to have a tough fight with a dragon and miss your opportunity to absorb the soul and be essentially robbed of your prize. I'm glad that it looks like an automatic thing.

Agreed.

I did notice in the 20-minute gameplay video that Dovakin suddenly unequips his weapon (as in, it magically disappears into thin air, he doesn't even sheathe it, which is kind of awkward) as the dragon is dying, and does some animation with his hands... but this is probably scripted, and not something that the player had to "cast."

Imagine casting a 10-second Dragon Soul Trap spell, then killing the dragon 11 seconds later... no, that would svck, they won't do that to us, lol.

Fixing the animation so that the weapon is actually sheathed instead of blinking out would be a minor, but welcome, fix. Of course the video was an old build of the engine, yadda yadda etc.

Do you think that we can trap their soul rather than absorb it via the spell "Soultrap"?

not sure, but I'm sure you'll find the answers you're looking for on the other threads about soul trapping dragon souls.

I dunno, you get the Dragon souls to power up your dragon shouts, maybe you can but you don't get the soul to unlock a word of power.

Quite a few of them:

thank you

No prob, glad to help!

i doubt it. The whole point is to consume the souls yourself.

Thank you for the links.

welcome

filth and lies! in the 22 min gameplay release todd murders a dragon and then uses its soul to unlock the third word of power in the stormcall shout
