Getting the roan the Talmberg. WORST QUEST EVER
This quest is bad. Really bad. To be thrown off every 5 seconds, only to have the horse do a 180 and take off going back to the point where is started. This is a f***ing nightmare. I managed to get it to Talmberg, almost into the courtyard and the horse refuses to go in. I have killed this stupid creature in frustration to many times, and I actually had to quit the game because it drove me mad.

Anyone have any pointers out there? Anything that can help me get the horse those last 50 meters.

Sing to the horse. That prevents the horse from freaking out. The groom outright tells you this.

Sing? Never tried to sing in this game. How do you do that?

IIRC, approaching the horse after you learn about the singing gives you an option to start singing.

Once you learn the song from the groomsman Henry will automatically sing when you mount it.

IINM, and you talk to Vashek, he will tell you that you need to sing to the horse. So, it's right there.

Sometimes it's better to follow the instructions of quest...

I apparently though my riding 8 would be enough, and unfortunately my ego made, force the horse all the way to talmberg. It was very much easier if learning the song. xD

There are two ways to do this quest... have really good riding skills - you will *not* be thrown if they are high - though that may be at or near to 20... I don't *know* the threshold because I did this quest rather late on one play, and *deliberately* didn't do it the proper way to see how bad the throwing would be.... and it was just a placid mount - but I had either 19 or 20 at the time....

The other is to either get all the information about the task from the Groom first, or to get thrown and then go and talk to him after.

I'm on my fifth play through and I've never been thrown from the roan. I did however speak to Vashek, listen to what he told me and did exactly what he told me to do (sing to the roan).

OT but curious... what do you do on a fourth or fifth play-through?

You know all the metadata, where everything is and how to complete each quest... would seem like a perpetual deja-vu.

There are different ways of completing quests and different ways of combining different quest completions... even after some 800 hours I recently heard of a completion path for a quest I'd never even contemplated, let alone seen and done 'several times' because the (same) quests always play out the same. And now I have to check it out (unsure if my current save file has that quest still open, or if I would need to 'pin' it for a possible/probable 'next play').

Sure the overall story moves from the start to the unvarying end, but the braided stream between those places is *far* more intricate than most games are in subtle (and not so subtle) ways.

I think I have seen *most* of the quest options for *most* quests... and have looked behind nearly every bush on the map (figuratively speaking - if not *quite* literally)... but there are still the occasional new 'thing' or place that comes up which is new to me even after that...
