Alright, so my very first dragon I got to tame was an awesome, golden Elder Dragon. Too bad he shed it all off and I got to ride on a super model!
I went to Mt Anthor to test it out and as soon as I use the shout, you can see he's fine and dandy. Uuuuntttiiiillll he decides to shed some weight so he can carry me around. I got his soul and flew off! This isn't like the other bugs/glitches where they deliberately soar through game stuff to confuse it. Just right out of the gate I'm more metal than Metallica! This is on PS3, mind you.
