No bones thrown with memento

When I use the "Throwing Bones" memento that I earned during the holiday event nothing happens except my toon kneels and moves her hand like she's shaking dice. No bones are animated and then the toon just stands there staring at nothing for a few seconds unable to do anything.

Can ZOS "throw us some bones" please. (pun intended) It would be nice if there would be some bones laying on the ground to look at with this memento, as the name would imply.

    I seen some earlier with mine! It just had to be on a flat area. If you did that, I'm not sure what could be wrong, but I know when I tried it on a hill, I could see them 'fall' through the ground, but when I moved and tried it again with a bit flatter ground it showed up.

    Sounds like a really awesome Memento - not.

    Umm... “bones” is a euphemism for “dice” - not ACTUAL bones.

    Granted, it is a spooky time of year and maybe ZOS should have used better wording for this one but what's new lol. Thank you for saying it before I did :D

    Some fortune tellers/soothsayers/seers do actually throw bones like dice.

    Except the Memento icon shows bones, not dice, and as was mentioned already, a LOT of soothsayers, fortune tellers, and so on actually did use bones and the like for telling the future. Plus I'm pretty sure the description of the items specifies bones as well and doesn't say anything about dice. It'd be a very misleading Memento name, icon, and description, given the time of the year, if it was supposed to actually be dice and not bones.

    I've had no trouble with this memento on PS4 NA. The toon kneels, shakes the bones in their hand, and they can be seen lying there on the ground after being thrown. An animation plays, where the toon seems shocked and enlightened, and then they stand up.

    I have this problem on at least 2 characters, The memento works properly on several others tho, and I enjoy how it looks. Not tested it extensively yet, but the two it glitches on are both male High Elves.

    Hey all, for those of you who are having issues with the memento can you let us know if your character has a personality equipped?

    I posted about this the other day. As mentioned there, with or without personality makes no difference.

    I have noticed that on certain terrain the bones seem to fall beneath the ground level .. eg in Glenumbra near Farwatch wayshrine if I use the memento on the path or grass facing uphill, the bones don't show, however, if I do it on the flat paving of the wayshrine itself, I can see the bones on the stones and also when using the memento facing downhill.

    PCNA, Dunmer using scholar personality.

    On a related (to the OP) topic, can someone tell me whether the item that can be bought from the Impressario is the momento itself or a single rune piece toward it?

    It's the complete memento. Just bought it today because I had nothing else to do with my tickets.

    Edit: You also get the memento directly delivered into your collections. No runebox or such.

    Interesting. The memento appears to work fine on two of the three toons I tested it on. The one it doesn't work on is a male high elf. I don't run personalities. Guess I should have tested it on other toons before posting.
