It would be nice, after hours of intense dungeon crawling, to be able to take a walk around town and take part in various entertainments, for instance playing the lute, play some sort of a chess game for money, or fist-fight for money. Or take part in a play like in Mournhold.

But, alas, I was hoping either for an adaptation of The Lusty Argonian Maid or a mod that would swing that up, but there will be no spears in the game. Without spears, how in the Nirn will it then be possible? I mean, she couldn't polish my axe or bow. Maybe an arrow? Yes, maybe, it might work. It's thin, but long enough.

There could be just a spear prop on the stage without being usable.

Interesting point. Nonetheless, I would need to hold it with both hands while she polishes it.

Is no spears confirmed?

Sadly, yes. By Todd Howard himself, even.
