Are horses really worth it ?

[Citizen_1245]

Are they actually faster than sprinting ? It doesn't seem like it to me but maybe I'm wrong

yes there may be a road, but it takes u 600KM outta ya way, much easier, just to hop over that mountain in ya way, botto mention all the fights, you have to go though, adds more time, and possibly loss of resources.

Actually we don't need to always use the horse-riding trick to scale up the boulders and slippery cliffs of those treacherous mountains.

Almost all the major mountains in Skyrim have hidden mountain passes, that are unmarked on the map, but work as sneaky shortcuts if you manage to spot the mountain pass and don't get sidetracked or lost while following it.

Here are some examples of such a hidden mountain passes:

Yes, but that takes time, an time is key, and u still got to fight ya way though those passages any-way, resulting in either chance of death, or loss of resources and time.

Much better jus to go over then though, save time, effort and resources

I don't know if they're faster than sprinting. I've never bothered using them, they aren't worth it to me. Since I never use survival modes, I'll probably never try them.

i say not worhth it just walk thats my opinion

The Daedric Horse is definitely worthwhile as it can be summoned anywhere, does not need to be kept in a stable and if it dies, it can be re-summoned on the spot.

Oh yes, and unlike Arvaak you don't need to carry a horse skull around.

Hey. I never discard Advark. Even my adopted kids are not terrified by it. So yeah for me Advark is worth it.

It's always Shanks's Pony for me.

Horses sprint slower, but they can keep running for far longer.

Wow, that's completely backwards.

You don't need to keep Arvak's skull once you've completed the quest, you can still summon him without it in your inventory.

Arvak is the only horse worth as you can summon it most places that isn't "inside" and you don't have to worry about it dying.

With the True Directional Movement mod properly installed with its "Horse Archery" module patched in, you can fire arrows on horseback while at the same time riding away from or around your enemies. It's awesome. You have to see it for yourself.

AE has a deadric horse that you can also summon at any time, and it cannot die, not permanently at any rate. I will grant you need to be Level 46 to get that quest, but if you're not interested in doing Dawnguard that is an alternative.

I don't have and I don't care about mods, but if you're using them then you might as well use good ones that make all horses useful all the time.

This is cool, I'll try this. Thanks for the heads up.
