  • Skyrim is a game that offers the Dragonborn their pick at an assortment of armors, ingredients, spells and weapons. Indeed, The Elder Scrolls 5 allows players to equip almost anything they may need for their adventures. While many objects are quite rare and interesting, it’s typically the items given to the Dragonborn during Skyrim’s quests that prove to be the most fascinating and unique. From long lost ancient swords with incredible amounts of lore to rare spells and potions, today we’ll be taking a look at my top five quest items you shouldn’t miss in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

      Dude, when you're old enough to have sex, or if you already are old enough then when you find a girl uninhibited enough to perform a 69 with, you'll finally understand that it's one of the dumbest sex acts a couple can perform. You're either focused on what you're doing, or what you're getting, but never both. So it's a compromise sex act that pleases no one and does nothing more than waste time. It's probably the ONLY sex act in the world that NO ONE ever performs a second time. Pretending it's cool is one of those things that you grow out of really fucking quickly, especially if you have a sexy, willing partner that you could be doing better things with.

    I think the reason you're able to free Arvak is because Arvak's skull is in the soul cairn and it acts sort of like a lich's phylactery in a way, his soul is bound to that skull and once you remove it from the soul cairn he's "free" from that place while still being bound to the skull outside of the soul cairn.
