Horse armor would be a start. My horse is gone forever. I assume he is dead lol

Horses without riders should be able to outrun all enemies and they should have a lot of hit points.

:D

I want horse armor, but I also want a horse that stays where I put him.

SO DAMN SICK of putting my horse in a safe spot while I run ahead to battle, having the horse charge in a few seconds later, getting his ass kicked a little, then running around to who knows where and me having to search for 10 minutes after each fight. :brokencomputer:

Shadowmere got killed by forsworn. /sad panda

I tried to solve this problem by making my horse faster and more cowardly via the console.

As you can probably imagine, that didn't end well.

Bwahahahahaha!
:foodndrink:

sorry dont know what i did wrong about the voting...i was just curious if anyone felt the same way as me

I haven't even gotten to a point where I can afford horses yet (just got it on Friday, and haven't played since then), but it sounds like horses are more trouble than they are worth?

ha so true...the simple answer is mammoth mounts, they don't need armor because they're walking tanks :nod:

Yes but it should be free, though they've said they wont be releasing dlc like that for skyrim. If we get it it will come packaged with an expansion.

Bethesda should study the Nexus mods for Oblivion and "import" them in Skyrim somehow.

I giggled like a big ugly schoolgirl.

I kind of just blurted that out. I didn't mean to imply that Bethesda purposely withheld that one just to make an extra penny. It's just that it's something so small. It's ultimately useless, yet still "useful". I'd use it if it was free, but it's not something I'd pay for. And I know that if they make horse armor DLC for Skyrim, the console users will certainly need to pay something for it. That means PC users will also need to pay for it because "it wouldn't be fair" to console users if we got it free. Does that make me sound selfish? Well, I guess I am being selfish, though I'd rather it just be free for everyone.

It just seems like the kind of thing that should be available without paying extra. If they don't make it at all, then I'm sure someone will mod it into the PC version. But that only helps PC users. They could toss it into one of the "bigger" DLC, and that would be better than what seems like an obvious cash-grab. I just don't want to see them selling such a simple thing on its own. But I'm sure there are people who want just the horse armor without the "bigger" DLC. Which leads us back to square one, just give it a price tag as a separate DLC and make an extra penny off of people willing to pay.

I'm just tired of seeing these "useless but desirable" DLC in so many games these days. I know of one company that has been selling, as DLC, things that used to be included in previous games in the series, as things you could collect as rewards for side-quests and such. What are these "things"? Alternate outfits. Yep. And to add insult to injury, those outfits actually do a bit more than just make your characters look different now. And you'd be paying more than twice the cost of the game itself if you want them all...

Bethesda has already said they won't be doing "money milking" DLC, but I can't help but worry about the future... Sorry for the rant.
