OpenWorldAddict Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I know there are alot of horses for sale, and a whole lot more that could be found while traveling around skyrim, however I haven't seen many unique horses on the nexus. The only one is one that you had to summon with a spell which I don't like. So I making this request. I would like to see a unique horse that you have do a quest to get. What I want is that when i am done with the quest, it should feel like that you and the horse have already gone through a lot together. It should provide an emotional bond to the horse, a deep friendship that stays with you through out your current run-through of the game; and if the horse dies, you'll feel like you've just lost of friend like when you lose a follower that you've been traveling with for a long time. It's hard to get that feeling off of the vanilla horses. If a horse dies, replace it with another. I want a unique horse that is going to feel irreplaceable. Some ideas for the quest: 1. A stable master asks you to find a missing horse that was part of a caravan traveling to the city. One horse ran to the stables and seems like it has seen it's share of combat, and the other horse has not returned. You head out and find a site where the caravan had been ambushed by bandits or forsworn. After fighting your way through the nearby bandit (or forsworn) encampment or lair, you find the horse but you have to use a calm spell or the kyne's peace shout in order to calm it down enough to ride it. When you return to the stable master, he offers the horse to you for half price. 2. While exploring the world you come across a horse standing in front a cave. You enter the cave to find it full of vampires. On one of the bodies you learn about one of the vampires actually being a former treasure hunter, and having come to this cave looking for rumored treasure (obvious he was turned before he could find it.) In the note it says that if he perishes, the one who found his corpse will have ownership of the horse. When you emerge from the cave however, you find it being nabbed by a thief who gets on and runs off with it. Now you have to hunt the thief down and recover the horse. Of course these a just a couple of ideas. Maybe someone will think of a quest idea that is even grander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabone3 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I am actually working on a variety of horses that have different attributes. Basically different speeds. Having an entire quest devoted to a horse is interesting. But that's going to require some voice acting :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenWorldAddict Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 It doesn't require voice acting. I've seen several mods that don't use voice acting. It would be nice, but not essential. I just had another idea that came to me: 3. You are asked by a traveling merchant to keep an eye on his injured horse while he goes to the nearest city stables to get help, and while the merchant is away you have to defend the horse from others that might want to take him. When help arrives, the merchant asks you to follow him to the stables. Once there the stable master gives you a number of tasks to help heal the horse, like gathering herbs or buying a potion in the city and other little things. While that is going on you have a chance to bond with the horse. By the time the horse is back to full strength, the merchant has been long gone. He took another horse not being able to wait around for this one to recover, so the stable master gives the horse to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
