Horses in skyrim bugged ?

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 3:03 pm

Don't know if this is a duplicate thread or not but anyways. While I was playing this amazing game I decided to purchase a horse so I could travel easier and it turns out that horses in skyrim (atleast for me) are quite glitched.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT3x9Og3fU4 here is a video of it.

I can understand the horse disappearing because I have a feeling that comes from optimization. When riding on a more of a normal terrain it's fine but the moment you start trying to climb rough terrain with the horse it just is glitchy.

Hell, I even managed to have this happen to me: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/613842195068417191/EE40378FA6AF2BA2109F8A2A331D923DD804BBB6/

As a verdict, the game is amazing but would be nice if this got fixed.

As far as that video goes...dear god man, learn how to steer. You can't phase through buildings on a horse. :P

The horse was disappearing because your third person camera got too close to it. Your horse and other NPCs will disappear while in 3rd person if you drag the camera too close to them. Its just a visual effect, it doesn't hamper the gameplay. And come on, you drove your horse straight into a huge rock, and you're calling that glitchy? That video just shows you purposely trying to break the horse mechanics - nobody actually tries to ride like that. 1:17 and beyond is just your own fault.

Yeah but it is still a glitch. Even if it is what a player normally wouldn't do it is still a glitch.

All the rock climbing aside, the way the horse climbs over some smaller rough terrain is a bit weird too. There really is no climbing over the rock or anything, the horse just pretty much pops up there. Not really a huge issue though.

There were no glitches in your video.

All you did was make your horse go up onto big rocks and things you wouldn't normally ever take a horse onto. Your bad driving isn't a glitch :P
