Soul Trap Spell + Dragons : V - Skyrim

This is my guess too. There probably aren't any soul gems that can hold dragon souls.

Except for the http://i.imgur.com/xB9GH.jpg.

Am not sure on this, but I cant wait to find what actually will happen when you soul trap a dragon

I thought soul trapping was out. People thought it was too "hardcoe" and confusing, and it just really wasn't all that useful. They replaced it with bonus unlockable finishing moves. :spotted owl:

Soul trapping is out? OH. MY. GOD. When was that confirmed? Seriously, powered soul gems were like my one and only hope of recharging my magic weapons without paying a massive amount of gold for it. :shakehead:

You get dragon words from certain stones, to get the best shout you need to get all three pieces of a word. To use the words you need dragon souls I'm assuming it's either a certain amount or the shouts add to an overall power level.

I don't recall hearing that soul trapping was out...in fact it's like a staple of TES lore.

I think if you try to soultrap a dragon, they will rain fire on your insignificant posterior.

I kinda like the idea to choose to get a great enchantment or boost a shout but who knows i guess not

You soul trap a dragon automatically when you kill it, using yourself as the soul gem.
You may then use the souls you have trapped to unlock shouts.

It would be possible to use them for enchanting as well, but I doubt Bethesda did this.

Yeah but don't get your hopes up until it is completely confirmed. There are ALOT of things that used to be "staples of TES lore" that are gone now.

Azura's star.

If it can hold Almalexia, it can hold a dragon.

I'm pretty sure if you can't soul trap people in oblivion then you probably can't soul trap dragons in skyrim

what happen if certain npc killed a dragon?will they get dragon shouts:D

Do we even know if we still have a Soul Trap spell? Also you probably can't keep it for later.

Yes soul trap is in along with soul gems confirmed in several journalist demos along with some interview with Todd and Pete. I'm too lazy to post links.

Your post would be much more awesome if like three other people hadn't already quoted that guy and told him that. :celebration:

Has there been any information from the developers on how soul trap spells work on dragons? I mean, clearly dragons have souls (otherwise the whole shout system wouldn't work). But if you cast a soul trap spell on one just before it dies, will it get captured in a soul gem instead of being able to power your shouts, or will it give you two souls? Will it give some kind of message like, "sorry, dragons are actually immune to the traditional soul collection process." instead? Or is it going to create a glitchy paradox that ends up crashing my system?

I'd imagine you can't soul trap a Dragon, lol. They just won't allow it. No problem here TBH.

» Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:50 am

I haven't seen any info on it, but I am certain you wont be able to soul trap a dragon. Hines may have tweeted something to this effect but dont quote me on that.

» Sun Sep 25, 2011 3:29 pm

They might handle it the same they do humans; without special items (such as black soul gems) the souls are too powerful/large to be trapped.

Do you think that you will need to use some form of soul catch to catch a dragons soul? I sure hope not...

In the video I couldn't see any soul catching spells used. Did anyone notice one?

» Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:36 pm

No. It is a Dragonborn power.

That is an interesting idea though

» Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:53 am

Nope, you get them automatically. You can see it when he kills the first Dragon in the 3 part gameplay demo.

I don't think so because that wouldn't make any sense at all. I'm surprised someone actually brought it up.

This leads to the question:
What would happen if you used soultrap on a dragon?

» Sun Sep 25, 2011 10:03 pm

Would make for some insane enchantments though!!! :drool:

Rain through buildings doesn't make any sense ether. Nor does the enemy staring at a dead body when they have an arrow in their head
