Alright I'm currently stuck on the DLC and no guides or anything have helped me so far.

My probllem is, that I've acquired all three words of power from hermeaus mora, but I can't unlock them to continue with the quest because I dont have any dragon souls, which wouldn't normally be a problem cause I'd just have to go kill two dragons, but everytime I kill one GODDAMN MIRAAK STEALS MY SOUL AWAY. I can't unlock any shouts because of this, but I need to to move on with the storyline. Any help?

That's a tricky one. All I could suggest is going back to an earlier save, before Miraak starts stealing them, and spending time acquiring dragon souls.

How do you not have dozens of souls saved up? I had about 30 before I even travelled to Skyrim.

I tried that, he follows you all the way to skyrim. I tried killing the dragon outside of sky haven temple and he stole that one too.

My character in its file had a glitch before the DLC where no random dragon fights would occur, leading me with a lot of empty words of power.

Man, your game is really temperamental. Mirrak only stole one dragon soul from me, out of about four dragons that I killed before I beat him. And I didn't even need those souls.

I'm sorry, but I can't see a way clear of your problem from the way that you've described it. TES can be cruel sometimes in regards to these crappy quirks. I'll mull it over though.

Gutted. Do you have a save on Solstheim before Miraak starts stealing souls?

Do not invite me to your private group. I will not join.

Mirrak only has a "chance" to steal your souls.

Before fighting a dragon save the game, when you kill it if he does appear just reload the save. Repeat until you get it.
