Stealing a horse

[DontOpenDeadInside]

I found a random rather good statted horse abandoned on a road. Options were to hold R to mount and steal or inspect it with E. I have the first mission horse Pebbles. When I chose to mount and steal Pebbles is still my horse. I ran far away from stealing point and still the horse isn't mine? Do I have to get rid of Pebbles and how do I do it?

Wondering the same thing.

so far I have not managed to steal any horse while I have mine and I can only get rid of pebbles by buying a new horse and trading it off :( I guess horse stealing is for those who do not have a mount yet

I havent had a horse so i stole one from the stables and not a single ♥♥♥♥ was given. Considering how easy they break their legs and die its better to steal them than buy.

Its pretty bad that you can't keep a horse that you steal or one that you gain from conquest/murder. It is a very lazy way of balancing. Devs should have made it so when you look at your horse you can either equip or remove your saddle. Whichever horse you equip a saddle on is yours and has all your inventory (duh).

Then to balance they should have just made horses harder to steal. For a game that calls itself an immersive RPG, development decisions like this really just break the entire experience.

Yeah I posted a question about this too. Despite being an open world game with promises of an immersive experience. This is really disappointing. What are the DEV thinking ?

btw a bit off topic what is the best horse you have found? I have only found one T5 but I didn't like the stats as those were mainly courage and stamina while I would love a carry weight champion :P

Stealing system is broken in my opinion. No ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one in rattay or somewhere else can know that the apple i have in my pocket is stolen from somewhere. Or will devs tell me that every person wrote "Property of xy" on everything they have even on food? LOL!
Actually i found a random horse, i took or "stole" it and rode to rattay. In town i was selling something and as i mounted it every guard was after me cause i was stealing the horse i came with. For unknown reasons no one was after me when i came with it into town. Its just dumb and broken...

specially if the owner of the item/horse is dead the gossip about you stealing shouldn't spread with strong telepathic connection the characters have right now

Haven't tried this but maybe the millers can help after you do the mission you steal a horse for him suggestion not checked

As far as i'm concerned all of this is the way it is for the purpose of balancing.
