Well it's been confirmed that there will be (at least a few) carriages in the game, but horses (as far as I'm aware) have never been confirmed, because they were worried they wouldn't be as good as those in Red Dead Redemption.

So does the inclusion of carriages mean horses are in?? If not, what on earth will be pulling them??

There's already a thread regarding the carriages, it might be a good idea to go post this in that one. A moderator might come by and lock this one.

Well there's a horse in the trailer. That's about all we know besides what you already said. Make of it what you will.

:o I missed that part. What time is it in the video??

No, because one thing doesnt follow from the other. Morrowind had silt strides for travel, not for riding.

They were trying to get horses done right, and they wont do them if they dont feel adequate for the game. Todd said that already. The IGN interview confirms (because of him not answering about horses at all) they are still trying to do horses, but theres nothing definite.

Well if they have horses you can't ride then that's still horses. But if not horses pulling the carriages, then what will??

There was this concept art...

I don't have it memorized but http://i52.tinypic.com/rc7oua.jpg. The horse is in the lower left corner.

I imagine if rideable horses were in-game, it would have been mentioned alongside carriages. That's not necessarily a "no" but it seems to be leaning in that direction.

Haha, many thanks.

Well I suppose they must be trying pretty hard with the horses then, as I'm sure they don't want a repeat of the Oblivion trailers

I'm sure there will be horses pulling the carriages, and if they have them for that, I don't see them not having them to ride as well... :shrug:



Slightly off-topic--that pic reminds me of Rohan in TLOR trilogy...

Glad to see I can help someone on these forums.

Yeah, I hope to God they have mountable horses but it is a lot of effort they'd have to put in to even compare to Red Dead's (to see what I mean, click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8glooUsapo and skip to 2:45 on the video). Rockstar was working on them from the very start of production and aimed to make horses a paramount part of the game. Bethesda's just like 'meh'. Hopefully they can develop all the movements to seem believable and implement mounted combat for every weapon choice in time before release.


I know, right? Slightly Off-Topic again: That's ovah http://i52.tinypic.com/348m07b.jpg! :poke:
