Azhur Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I heard rumors on the internet that Skyrim's mounts will function the same as Oblivions and the characters will have to dismount from horses to defend themselves from enemies. :huh: Is there any news to confirm that or are people speculating?

Jacars Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It was confirmed by Todd in one of the recent videos. Check the information topic, it's there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 There's very little info on horses other than the fact that they're in the game. From the video I saw, they ride fairly well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansutton91 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It has been confirmed that there is no mounted combat. I believe the reason was if you were able to fight from a horse, what would stop you from only riding the horse? If you just go galloping everywhere, you miss some important stuff. At least that's what I got from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, I was merely speculating on the reason. Since no reason was given, that was the one I came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this little invention called stirrups that kind of take care of that problem though :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're like my sisters who are professionals. And unless you've got a horse who cooperates unlike the ones I dealt with. On another note, I wonder if you get to use the smithing skill to make horse shoes? Make the horse go faster or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted472477User Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well, I'm sure the modders can figure this one out. Having said that, it's not up to Bethesda what the player does. If the player wants to gallop hither and yon and never once get off their horse, and they miss stuff along the way, that's *their* problem. Having been a DM, I do understand wanting the players to see and do all the content. But one of the things that makes the TES games great is their lack of railroading. (that should be left to the JRPGs :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
