📋 About This Mod

AbsorbDragonSoulsTALENT is a small bug fix mod for Skyrim Special Edition that adds a talent at game start, allowing you to absorb a dragon's soul if it wasn't absorbed after the kill. It requires the original MQKillDragonScript and dragonactorscript, and may fail if other mods alter those scripts. With 450 endorsements and 7,962 downloads, it's a niche utility for players encountering this specific bug.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 450 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Simple solution for a frustrating bug—just cast the spell and move on.
- Lightweight and doesn't overhaul anything, so it's low-risk for your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if your base game scripts are untouched—other mods can break it.
- Last updated in 2017, so it's been years without a patch or compatibility update.
- Niche use case: if you don't have the soul absorption bug, this mod does nothing for you.
For Skyrim Special Edition players who've killed a dragon but didn't get the soul and want a quick fix without console commands. If you're a modder who's altered dragon scripts, skip this—it'll likely fail. Casual players who haven't hit this bug won't need it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original MQKillDragonScript and dragonactorscript—if you've installed mods that change dragon behavior, this might not work.
- After installing, check your active effects or powers menu for the new talent; it should be there from the start.
- If it doesn't work, disable mods that alter dragon scripts one by one to find the culprit.
