Ok, I could put up with it at first but it's getting ridiculous.
My horse attacks bandits even if I dismount it and leave it behind. It will charge anywhere including wooden walls and stairs. This has to be patched..

Lol I know, I hate it...

If I agree with anything on these forums it is the above, the horse stuff really needs to be fixed Iv just made level 14 in the game and Iv had to buy 4 horses already.

1st one went splat as I was roaming in a blizzard without spotting a hillside drop.

2nd one just vanished I dismounted entered a dungeon came out and he was gone never returned even when I quick travelled to stables ect. Just packed his bags and left. /bye.

3rd one vanished in much the same way.

4th we will wait and see.

But yeah as above the dam horse thinks he is chuck Norris, attackers always go for my horse 1st even after I have long since dismounted they attack him over me the horse must think he’s some sort of tank with all the aggro he gets no wonder they keep leaving me.

Best solution Iv comes up with is dismounting a mile before your due location and walk the rest of the way there. Bit of luck the horse will not follow you and die in combat.

Cannot believe pre release testers did not pick up on this stuff. The problems with horses seem so bad I don’t think they could patch it now.

MY HORSE THINKS IT CAN FLY...

The funny thing is, he does!

For about 5 seconds that is... SPLAT!

[lol, when my horse first did that I was like WTF, get outa here noob.

I've given up on horses. I just run everywhere.

I really like my Horse and I appreciate that he wants to be the hero, but it is quite ridiculous when I specifically leave him behind so he doesn't get involved - only to have him run up and start fighting alongside me... I'm scared I'll smack him with my mace : S lol

I started stealing horses after my third horse died attacking a giant tribe (he attacked them, as far as I can tell for no reason at all).

Trotting along on my new horse, seven years old I think the trader said. A fine mount indeed and oh so good on my aching feet from wearing these hide boots with no arch support!

Woah there, whats that up ahead! It's trouble and I'm all about trouble. "High ho!" I call to my steed! I pull up excitedly to a band of bandits molesting a young woman.

"Never fear young maiden..." I begin to cry as I leap off my horse axe already swinging wildly. But before I can even manage to get started with my avalanche of ass kicking....
My trusty steed goes trotting quickly past me, winking at me as he passes and mumbling... "Chill bro, I got this."

Axe hanging limply at my side I watched with wonder while my horse supplied the avalanche for me. The maiden was happy, mounted my steed and they left me standing there in the middle of the road.

"Blessings of Stendar upon ye" I hear from behind me. I turn to find a flame atronoch looking rather hot so I'm like "Wanna go get a drink?"

"Sure" she says.... "I know this happening little inn around the corner."

I think she winked at me but it was hard to tell.

Well 4th horse has also died dismounted on a path some way before a fort, I entered started fighting the horse shot past me and aggro 3 enemies I quickly slayed them to which my horse then starts to run up some wooden stairs and starts attacking an archer I kill the archer turn around to see what the horse is doing and to my surprise he is back at the fort entrance fighting and before I could get my [censored] over there he was dead.

Now on my 5th horse.

I have it. My main character looks awesome.

my first horse fuzzy britches died trying to take on a dragon...needless to say i was searching his body for meat n hide afterwards. If fire crotch dies im not buying anymore horses ill just walk dammit.

yep me too and its fantastic!! looks great as well!!

^This

you know it could be because its 3 in the morning here or that could be the greatest Chuck Norris horse story ever....

i just walk everywhere i was considering buying a horse and this thread convinced me to if only to see it charge to its death whilst im fighting a dragon... or some bandits or just a beat...

my character classs = horse theif

Its a pain at early levels being attacked while on a horse, your character takes his dear sweet time to get off the horse

Horses and companions both cause more problems then they solve. I don't use either. Sadly that's the case with most games. Pets are almost never a good idea.

Horses annoy me. I only ride shadowmere.

Cheers

Wouldnt that svck if you got stuck and found yourself on a cart headed to helgen with two stormcloaks and a greenhorn dovakiin.

Same issues, ive lost 2 horses in dragon fights and have had to reload quit a few times when it decides to take on bears or trolls... Another oddity iv had is that now and then an npc will attack my horse for some reason but not me, it happened at a forsworn encampment and also by some guards east of white run....

My horse runs away from bears, but races to my aid when a dragon approaches. I don't get it. Silly bugger

MY HORSE IS A BADASS, ITS HELPS ME SLAY DRAGONS!!!!!! I lost him though, I dont think he died but hes not with me anymore. Maybe he thought i was just holding him back

I just steal everyone elses horses! :whistling:
