Stolen horse tries to fly home! (BUG)

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 2:16 pm

I really wish I had video of this, but alas...

So I stole a horse in Whiterun to go visit the mighty loud bearded folk on the mount, and a couple times after coming upon some enemies, I would dismount and the horse would slingshot backward like 5-10 feet and then calmly start walking back home while I was fighting. On one particular occasion however.... it appeared that the farther away from his stable I got, the more desperate he was to return home! I dismounted to fight a wolf, and my stolen horse (this is in almost the blink of an eye) lifted off the ground and flew backwards down the road a good 100m.

After finishing off the enemies I sprinted back along the road to the horse (which used my full stamina bar and then some, if that gives some indication of distance) only to find that it was dead. So yeah, the horse just put his cape on and lifted off (second star to the right) and faceplanted down the road killing itself. :blink:

This might happen with owned horses as well, I'm not certain because I do not own one yet, but all I know is, I was laughing my rear off when I first saw it happen, but I imagine it wont be so funny after it happens multiple times throughout the game.

Otherwise, not many bugs to report other than a straight CTD after turning collision off in the console to get unstuck on the side of a hill.

Same thing happened to me. It was funny. I ended up buying a horse to avoid it. First time ever in an Elder Scrolls game. :(

I'm going legit it seems.

so a bought one doesn't have that "issue"?
maybe there's a way to make a stolen horse your own
