Just thought i'd share a strange thing i just witnessed.

I just rode my horse to windhelm and parked it on the steps at the front gate.

As i went to dismount the horse launched itself into the lake down below...

I luckily managed to hit the floor before the launching so got a great veiw of it splashing into the water

That's amusing

As I read this, I can see Gir going "Ooooooooooo, WWWWEEEEHEHHEHEHEHEE"

Did it happen more than once? I'd like to try this

Did they put that monty python castle in the game?

Did it look something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_564433&src_vid=GY6GHdHtmcw&feature=iv&v=Sr7NP_4Hrts?

It did fly off in a similar matter although i didn't see it bounce off anywhere else, maybe it did all that underwater


To clarify on exactly what i did, although i'm unsure whether this will replicate it.

I rode my horse all the way up to the gate, remembered i had to dismount to enter the city. turned around and stopped the horse exactly ontop of a short set of steps (the horse was standing diagonally) and then i just dismounted. no sooner had i got one leg over did it launch over the wall of the bridge, fly a few hundred feet and then splash down into the water.

Fetchez la vache. This would be a great glitch to exploit if you could guide cows to the spot.

I wish there was a mass compilation of all the comedic bugs in skyrim

Maybe bethesda should release a video like that. I would buy it even

You obviously overheated the horse by running it to hard. It needed to take a dip in the cool placid waters of an alpine lake to get some relief.
