Just spent quite a while working my way up through the quests -just- to get Shadowmere and now she refuses to spawn from the location she is supposed to during the quest. I have tried reloading, killing my own horse beforehand, everything I can think of but Shadowmere still will not spawn from where she is supposed to. The only reason I even did the dark brotherhood was to get her, and now she's hopelessly bugged. Do I give up and wait for a patch or is there a known fix? Just tried unpatching the game but it won't let me load now, and yes I tried fast traveling somewhere after the event where she spawns was supposed to occur.

The pond? Outside the Sanctuary?

Yes, I waited there for about 3 minutes ( not using the wait function ) and shadowmere never appeared. I love the Dark Brotherhood but this isn't a character that would get along with them for very long ( berserker ) just wanted to get my horsey and move on...but I guess Sithis has bugged my game up just because of that

Load from an earlier save.

I guess I just have to face that this character won't be getting shadowmere then lol
