So I've bought 3 horses now.. first time it died.. second and third time I got off to kill a dragon and it disappeared... -.- Not spending anymore gold on horses.
Problem with stealing a horse is that you get a small bounty for stealing it.
this is true. you can ride horses while you are over encumbered.Horses are also great when you leave a Dungeon and you are overburdened from loot and it makes it a lot faster to get back to civilization to sell your loot.
I think i'd buy a OX if they had one.. a horse just isn't manly enough for my Nord....hahaSo I've bought 3 horses now.. first time it died.. second and third time I got off to kill a dragon and it disappeared... -.- Not spending anymore gold on horses.
Dude, TOTALLY agree. I literally went from playing Red Dead Redemption, which has the BEST horse riding gameplay I've payed, to this game. It feels like they didn't upgrade horses at all from oblivion Which is super disappointing.I have to admit I find the horses a bit of a waste of time in the game. If you have a follower then they cannot keep up with you on a horse. your horse has saddlebags that you can see but cannot store anything in and you cannot fight from horseback. What is the point of riding an animal that can keep up with the deer if you have to get off the horse in order to fire an arrow at one.
I think there is a lot more that Bethesda could have done with the horses. Shame.
one word...Shadowmere
Interesting enough, in daggerfall you were able to buy a carriage along with the horse and you would leave it outside of the dungeon and just fill it up to the brim with crap you collected. Of course the shopkeepers and stuff had infinite gold and things would be sold for far less in that game then skyrim. But that would be an interesting add on to Skyrim. If they brought back the carriage and you had to haul it with all your stuff in the back and park it. Your companions could also sit in different spots on the carriage but also they could add in raids and stuff. Just a thought.
Edit: Or even stack dead bodies in the back... If your into that sort of thing! LOL
hahaha here comes mongo from blasing saddlesI think i'd buy a OX if they had one.. a horse just isn't manly enough for my Nord....haha
