Bug Report (in Unofficial Patches): Bound Weapons and Soul Stealer

[MP-Ryan]

Hello,

I have found what I believe to be a bug in one of the Unofficial Patches concerning Bound Weapons and the Soul Stealer perk.

My mods list / load order is as follows:
Skyrim.esm
Update.esm
Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp
Dawnguard.esm
Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp
Hearthfires.esm
Unofficial Heathfire patch.esp
Dragonborn.esm
Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp

I have no other mods installed, nor have I ever.

I'm finding that the Bound Weapons - most noticeably the Bound Bow - will only soul trap if the first hit is not the killing blow.  That is, I have to hit the target with the weapon without killing it, and then when it is subsequently killed by the same weapon it will Soul Trap. This is caused by one of the patches; removing all three causes Soul Stealer to work properly.

It is easily reproduced in my saves - killing an elk with the bound bow in a single hit will not trap its soul, despite a plethora of soul gems.  If I uncheck the patches from the load, the soul will be properly trapped. The same happens with Bound Sword - a single, immediate killing blow will not trap the target's soul; multiple blows will.

I have the latest Unofficial Patches installed.

My quicksave file won't compress below 2 MB, so I can't upload it as an attachment, but I can email it to any testers.
