I squealed like a little b*tch when I read this. I will be playing Skyrim for days on end after this update. Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6!

I hate having to get off my horse just to kill wolves...cant wait for the update!! Yep. Now I'll actually get a horse. I love Bethesda. <3 They're doing everything right right now. Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: MsTrixie13 on May 25, 2012, 11:27:15 am What do u mean actually? You haven't bought a horse yet?! Lol, there's so much traveling!
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Turboweasle on May 25, 2012, 12:39:21 pm I bought a horse on my first character and haven't bought one since. There is a lot of traveling, but since I stop to pick up every blue mountain flower and yellow butterfly I find and fight wolves/bears/mountain lions/assassins/thieves every chance I get, I didn't see any reason to go through the trouble of mounting and dismounting my horse hundreds of times.
But now I doubt I will ever dismount my horse. I just hope the controls are good. Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: MsTrixie13 on May 25, 2012, 01:00:48 pm Ahh, i get it. Lol, i can't wait!
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Tiger on May 25, 2012, 03:46:55 pm Yeah, I find my horse Shadowmere, as much as he/she can take a near infinite amount of damage, very annoying because he/she'll run into a battle scenario when I'm trying to be stealthy. <_<
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: MsTrixie13 on May 25, 2012, 05:15:02 pm Lol, one time i was fighting these bears... and my darn horse ran away... i couldn't find her anywhere... so i just fast traveled to the nearest place... ^_^
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Laughing Turd on May 25, 2012, 06:06:05 pm This sounds cool.
I love Shadowmere too but before that I'd just steal horses if I wanted to explore around. I usually used them to take short cuts up mountains since they can pretty much walk up a vertical road. I usually jumped off from too high, killed the horse and stole another, no biggie. Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Paranoid71 on May 25, 2012, 07:12:51 pm damn shadowmere was awesome accidentally killed the damn thing, though, horses kinda suck in this game tbh
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 25, 2012, 09:50:57 pm Yes, shadowmere is awesome. I accidentally killed him once by jumping off a cliff so I just reloaded after that to keep him.
Now I wonder if they'll let you mount a dragon!! ^-^ Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Turboweasle on May 25, 2012, 10:38:12 pm There are mods for the PC version that will let you do just that, K. Unfortunately they haven't been added to consoles... yet.
If Bethesda gave us that, I would offer them my hypothetical and highly unlikely firstborn. Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 26, 2012, 12:15:29 am :D +1
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: MsTrixie13 on May 26, 2012, 02:16:23 am I wish we could tame a pet... -_- that'd be neat!
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Turboweasle on May 26, 2012, 10:16:56 am You can. Find a wild dog, walk into it and it will get your scent and follow you everywhere. Then you can interact with it, tell it to wait, follow, or go home. If I recall correctly there's a dog near Solitude if you're heading to the Thalmor base... Nightwatch? I'm not sure if that's the right name, but it's the quest where you free the Stormcloak soldier.
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Tiger on May 26, 2012, 05:59:49 pm And there's the dog that's actually daedric if that's your taste.
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Paranoid71 on May 26, 2012, 06:09:50 pm I'm pretty sure theres a Dog southeast of widhelm (sp?)
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Tiger on May 26, 2012, 06:11:31 pm Windhelm. :P
Title: Re: Mounted combat in update 1.6! Post by: Turboweasle on May 26, 2012, 09:12:41 pm And there's the dog that's actually daedric if that's your taste. Unfortunately he doesn't stay with you if you complete the quest. :( I loved that dog. He's a massive tank. |
