@@Uutalo 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.

If I'm feeling that randomness urge, I'll break out the Champion's Cudgel or something similarly enchanted...with that, you're still guaranteed to at least do the base damage of the weapon (with a 12.5% chance of nailing the enemy with all three elements); a more controlled (and controllable) chaos.

[@Alsebra]

​@@szarekhthesilentking7043, why? Not every character needs to max out every skill...especially if it goes against the backstory you've got in mind. Hell, I've built multiple characters based around certain playstyles so I can dip in and out as the mood strikes; I've built a Khajiit brawler (prior to the CC goodies for unarmed, too...went fully unarmed and loaded up on heavy armour), an Orc berserker (biggest damn two-hander I can get with light armor), a classic paladin-type character (sword and board, no theft/lockpicking...paragon of good), a level 1 cook character (knife and fork, cook's outfit, Ring of Namira), and I'm considering a Wood Elf alchemical hunter (bows, non-metallic armour/weapons, poisons, avoiding large cities as much as possible, having a small home in the woods, etc.). That last one, though, I plan on playing fairly evil, as it does play into the Bosmer culture to some extent (there have been cannibalistic tribes of Wood Elves in the lore)... I'm pretty sure I've missed out on a few other characters I've either built or had bouncing around my head, but there's no reason that you've got to only play one character and no reason that each character has to level each skill (other than incidentally).

[@racheljohnson9480]

Come to think of it, if you keep the jarrin root to make a single insanely powerful poison, that makes the reward from a return to your roots much more useful. It gives you a chance to make TWO insanely powerful poisons out of that single jarrin root.

Speaking about Arvak being useful when you're overencumbered, I remember that when Hearthfire first came out, I wanted to move from Breezehome which had been my main home for all of the base game and Dawnguard and contained all of my loot from hundreds of hours of playtime, to my newly built Lakeview Manor. I took _everything_ out of my chest in breezehome, all _9000 lbs of it,_ slowly whirlwind sprinted my way to the main gate, exited whiterun, summoned Arvak, got on him and fast traveled to Lakeview. Without Arvak, I would have either had to make several dozen trips to move all my stuff or make the excruciating, probably over an hour long trip over to Lakeview while overencumbered. Instead it took me one trip and 5 minutes. Arvak is by far one of the best thing added to thr game.

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.

Can’t help but hear during Wuuthrad: “Does my tie rectal staple my heart.... to the floor...?”

The battle axe is especially deadly to elves because it was used in the great war between the nords and the snow elves

[@bliviont]

The Bloodskal blade is literally just the master sword when you're at full health!

[@Lizard-ui8hz]

Hay Nate love your vid‘s and find all of them useful or just fun to watch

[@JCBassCovers]

"you can one-shot miraak" please don't actually do this. That fight is bugged to where it softlocks if you do too much damage too fast lol.

One of the hardest choices for me in this game is whether to choose Arvak or Shadowmere as my main mount because both of those horses are SO COOL. Also, I once summoned Arvak in Solstheim and lost Shadowmere for MONTHS! ;A; I found him again eventually, thank god, but it really bummed me out.

[@jackokeefe833]

Nate! You finished the video, I am so proud. I am not going to put anything else into context, you will understand :P

[@blueclaws9894]

Similar to Arvak, what about the "Summon Arniel's Shade" spell that you get from the Winterhold College questline which also gets you Keening? Probably the most powerful summon in the game, and has 3 uses only.

I just started watching your videos recently and I'm hooked! I love how you keep this on topic, and you give us so much knowledge on (what feels like) everything we want to know about! Keep up the fantastic work man! 😁

[@robertsmalls2293]

I love the Bloodskal Blade, I use it as an endgame weapon for two handed builds.

[@TimBitten]

Arvak is amazing, but the Soul Cairn itself is a giant pain!!

[@RealBradMiller]

It is, but I did it super duper quick not too long ago. Got in and out, thing that took my the longest was finding Arvak's skull because I misremembered it being in the East, not the West.

[@afjer]

If you mount a horse you can fast travel no matter how over-encumbered you are. Beast transformation plus Summon Arvak means you basically don't have to worry about carry weight in many situations.

There's a great mod (available on console) that adds 4 Argonian child merchants to the Windhelm docks. One of them sells a Jarrin Root. The stock replenishes every few days. If you have the bonus from Crimson Nirnroot quest that lets you create 2 potions from a single batch of ingredients, you could make a fair few of these nasty poisons.

[@konman10000]

Can you do the reset inventory glitch on em? 🤔 If so that's perfect for infinite roots

[@hollyhartwick3832]

@@konman10000 - No clue. Haven't tried. But they're plantable thanks to the mod MT Plants (which also makes crimson nirnroot plantable), so I don't need to. I have 6 of them growing at Goldenhills Plantation. There's also a Khajiit caravan version that adds two child merchants to the caravan that visits Dawnstar. One of those kids also sells jarrin root. The mods you want are Argonian Hatchlings, Khajiit Caravan Kittens, and MT Plants. With those, you should be able to get as much jarrin root as you need.

[@konman10000]

@@hollyhartwick3832 Awesome. I'll keep those in mind for when I can get off the console versions 😅

Mace of Molag Bal top of the list for me, especially after the reaction of people seeing it I was unable to part from it, even after making 2 Daedric maces with over 140 dmg each I just couldn`t let go of it, despite it taking half screen :) that is when i don`t cast spells because my character was a mage. The horse i put as second and the rest of your list is great too

[@sentientboxofcookies1843]

Imagine my disappointment when I ate the Jarin root didn’t die and found no unique dialogue from Astrid

[@timcontreras]

For some perspective on bloodscall blade, I never used two handed weapons in that game until I got that sword, actual YEARS from Alts in Skyrim never once until I got that blade. Absolutely amazing weapon

[@ericowen5305]

[@albertolaurella9168]

There's an alchemy skill that lets you use a poisoned weapon twice, I always get that one before using the jarring root

[@5emaie]

I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but which graphical mods do you use in your videos to make skyrim look so great?

[@mavendeo]

Nate, about Jarren root: "It blows its #2 out of the water!" Me: "That poor impersonator. That's a helluva way to die…"

[@taradidddler]

3:14 i know this video is old asf but i just played this questline and this part bothered me because he didn't hide, his assistant was able to take out some dragur before falling and he was able to take out the rest but was badly wounded in doing so, which is what killed him (even though he probably would've lived had he had enough supplies like food & potions). sorry it just kinda bothered me lmao, great video as always, love rewatching these

Do you have a list of mods that you use that you could post somewhere? More specifically the visual ones, since your game looks crazy good.
