R.I.P my first, second, third (which I stole from the Imperials) and fourth horse(s), One was killed by a bandit, 1 freaking bandit killed my horse. Whole damned thing just keeled over, was not impressed. The 2nd by a cliff. My stolen one was..... uhh I don't remember, but it was free so it doesn't matter to much. And my fourth by a group of bandits. Why did you run off to fight 5 bandits before me, just stay up top and let me handle them. It's more cost effective.
I have bad luck with horses. Thinking of building some sort of steam powered Dwarven device. If only I could.
And the one companion I've gained. (Excluding the Companion guild people). Some chick in Reevan. She's still kickin', cause I only got her about 3 minutes before I got off, lol.
