Indeed. And the horses have abysmal speed at normal speed, and low stamina for sprinting. Seriously, who tacked that feature on without iron the kinks?

Not to mention they are horrible at mountain climbing.

Clearly you should tame some mountain goats and ride those instead.

And these arent war horses, so they'll freak out if you draw blade or cast spells on their back.

Except they're just fine with running into battle versus anything.

Got annoyed by their eagerness to attack, set their health and stamina to 5000 instead. Now, that's what I call a horse~

Yeah, horses aren't Skyrim's strongest asset... I didn't bother to replace mine after it was killed by a dragon, they're just too much hassle to keep alive.

You know what game had great horse riding and mounted combat? Red Dead Redemption. Bethesda would've done well to take inspiration from it.

Give it two months. Mounted Combat Mod, complete with talking to people from horseback.

Of course, to install it you'll need Skyrim Script Extender, Better Horses, Miaq's Horse Husbandry Mod, DLC Crab Armor, Deadlier Beheadings, The Cap'n Official Fishy Stick Cooking Expansion, Skyrim Superior Scaling, Improved Metalworking *Horseshoes pack*, Polygamy Enabler, My Little Pony Horse Reskin, and The Unofficial Skyrim Patch. And the Unofficial Crab Armor Patch.

Actually a mod that makes it possible to make bread and apple pie would be pretty cool.

I just found my dream house!

Its called "Drelas Cottage"
The PROs:
-Its right at map marker so fast traveling sents me right in front of the house doors.
-It has both enchanting and alchemy stations right next to each other with at least one container next to them.
-cooking fireplace
-loads of containers
-just 3 rooms so everything is in the range of hand

CON's:
-the house is marked as "owned" so you things taken here are marked as stolen and you cant use the bed
-propably its being reset every now and then


So, anybody knows any way to do something with this? to stop the instance reseting + unflaged it as owned?

seriously - this little nifty cottage beats all the legit houses ive seen so far in the game. 


As for the magic - beside all the flaws that has been talked about its preety cool. i must admit that in no game magic felt so good before. you know its feels soooo damn good to "spark" your enemy till it bends and disintigrates leaving a steaming pile of ash. or throwing a fireball and watching ppl fly in air from the explosion. it tops even my personal #1 in terms of action based magic: Gothic 1 and 2.

It's also right next to a dragon spawn points just up the mountain...

Get the horse from the dark hand (/brotherhood) quests, it's immortal and badass.

I once bought a horse.
I jumped once and it died in less then 5 mins after being released from its stable.

Only thing I can think of is waiting for the CK and editing the house.

That was for the PS3. The PC patch (along with the Xbox 360) patch is released tomorrow, but there is no news on the CK. :(

While immortal to damage, the Dark Brotherhood Horse isn't invulnerable to fall damage. Don't go leaping from atop High Hrothgar now.
