UPDATE 2: Verifying the game cache integrity turned up 3 corrupted files.

Turned the overgrown lizard into charred meat.

Started a new game, created a vanilla Nord character.

Disabled ALL the mods, save for Alternate Start for quicker starts (and yes, this includes USKP, UDGP and UDBP).

UPDATE: There is something seriously broken with my game itself. Disabling that mod didn't get me anywhere, but scripts are baked into saves (right?), so in theory I have to (cringes) restart the game to be absolutely sure.

It might be mucking up things some, but I can't tell. I read somewhere that No Spinning Death overwrites a script related to dragon death. (ducks in preparation for the coming brick) Odd thing is, I was playing with a very similar list before installing Dragon Combat Overhaul and Succubus Race, but deactivating either won't get me anywhere.ĭone some digging on the Nexus and Steam forums. Mind you, I got a TRUCKLOAD of mods installed. Fixit would be even better, but either will do nicely.) I can't absorb dragon souls, and yes, I've been through almost every thread there is here on the answer.
