Oblivion - wtf are my horses going?

Haly · 05-03-2007, 16:16

Been playing through Oblivion a lot this past week and quite enjoying it. I don't think it's quite as amazing as some reviews I've read made it out to be but it's fun which will do me just fine

However, I keep losing my horse.

First of all I bought some fast horse after gaining a fair bit of money playing in the Arena, then one day I left a city and he wasn't there waiting for me at the gates like usual.
So I gave up and bought another one, same thing happened.

Have I just got to wander round trying to find my beloved horse? Or am I just screwed now? I've checked the stables of the city, and no sign.

The ones I stole all ran off. Not sure if thats whats happening with yours though. I'd get off mine, go kill something and turn around to find it wandering off.

I've had that with the ones I've stolen, but I bought these

And they acted fine for a while, and have now just vanished.

Horses obviously don't like me

It may have been that you fast travelled to somewhere while your horse was out cold. The horses do like a fight and get knocked out quite often, and if they're knocked out and you fast travel away they lose track of where you are.

I lost Shadowmere (speshul horse you get given, I won't spoil it) for about three weeks once, until I got a console message saying he had returned to *place where I was given him*

I never bought a horse, so never had one run off on me. I remember when I got Shadowmere, my other horse walked off very slowly and sadly, I felt awful for abandoning him :/

Awww poor little horse.

I;m playing it on the 360 so can't use any mods

Pity as that mod looks fantastic Garp! Just what I need.

May I introduce the all important mod:

DUDE, where's my horse?

Horses are overrated... unless it's the Shadowmere. It fights for you and doesn't die!

Shadowmere's actually surprisingly tough

He can ruck a bit, for sure. I thought all the horses just got knocked out as opposed to dying?
