Horses

[Daledge]

What is the quest involving the unicorn?

[SandsOfTime404]

Hircine's Shrine I believe.

Thanks. :tongue: I actually don't remember that and I've cleared all the shrines. :confused: Edited December 31, 2010 by Daledge

[RatcatcherOfKvatch]

Horse speed's only 33? Is that typical, above average, or below?

I think I'll stick to "Fortify Speed 100". It's official duration is only 6 seconds, but buffs are considered to be in effect the entire trip when you fast-travel, right?

​*In order for these commands to work, you must click on the horse you want to modify while in the console before you enter the commands.

Note: Everything in triangular brackets <> should be replaced with appropriate information. Ex: If I wanted to name my horse ‘Yay For Horses’, I would click on my horse in the console and type: setfullactorname "Yay For Horses"

Disclaimers: Used the UESP wiki for most of this info. Also, for the sake of thoroughness, I repeated information that was previously stated in above postings. None of this stuff is mine, I’m just bundling it together and posting it on here.
