What will your companion or
wife/husband do, I think you meant to say. -_-

Cut the both the heteronormativity and gender assumptions from the forums please people- it grates. Both men and women can play Skyrim, as a man or woman, and as straight or gay or bisixual. All these topics are speaking almost exclusively to men, about playing as a man, and a straight man- as if nothing else exists. Think of how annoying and that must be for others who don't fit this- thanks

(Not being rude, just pointing it out.)
Anyhow, I'm not sure. I'm guessing they'd follow on foot- but if they get on the horse with you, that would be so awesome and I'd grin like an idiot at such a seemingly small, but brilliant little touch.
