Limit to the number of Dragon Souls you can carry

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Is there a limit on how many Dragon Souls you can store? A couple of times after a battle, the dragon does not give me a soul and doesn't even disintegrate. Most times this happens I'll have at least 1-4 souls in my inventory.

Best Answer

If a respawned Dragon is killed again (as in, those that rest atop Word Walls outside of dungeons), it will not yield any Dragon Souls.

It's possible you killed one of these respawning Dragon. Do you remember if this happened at a World Wall?
