How long before MLP modded horses? I don't even want to know.
They've existed for a while.

Anyway, It's nice that I can actually attack while riding a horse now, but is a targeting reticle too much to ask for? I have no idea where my arrows are going.

I am guessing you are on console and not PC, right? If not, there are plenty of mods to remove them.

great job! why don't you draw some pentagrams with infant blood on the floor and summon satan while you at it?

Wait what?

There have been pony mods floating around before the creator creator kit was released. There was even one that replaced the dragons with ponies.


It somehow makes a dragon attack even more terrifying.

Also thank you for the picture, that honestly made me laugh. But hey, don't aim the blame at me, EVERYONE had it on their minds when it came up I can promise you that! :U

I love bethesda, Very few developers would add nice little additional features free with their patches, defiantly one of the 'good-guy' developers

This is why Bethesda gets respect from me.

Yes they have bugs BUT they fix them, and now this.
They show support to their players create all this awesome stuff, and work hard to make you proud to buy their stuff and to tell others you like it.

They dont ***** about artistic integrity or defend day 1 DLC.
They treat you like a customer and one they want to come back.

I have enjoyed Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim.
I cant wait to get Dawnguard.

Now if you can excuse me I have some mods to test!

couple of things: the giant spider you've been trying to avoid actually does exist and is really honking big, but it only lives in like, one specific area

and i was more freaked out about the massive chaurus nest because at some point you realize the number of eggs you have picked up in there exceeds the populations of all of the major cities combined

also, you don't have enough ponies

you will have more of them and you will enjoy it or else


(seriously, if you don't want them, don't mention them)

Good gods I had successfully blanked that mod form my mind till you brought it up.

That is creepy in a VERY unfunny way.

How many of you expect this added feature to be bug-free and requires no outside help (read:user created mods) to work properly?

Well if there's gonna be bugs, let's at least hope it's hilarious.

Like those backward flying dragons.
Not to worry: Bethesda's Quality Assurance department works hard to ensure that the maximum amount of bugs are present in every release!
So what kind of hilarious bug do you want to see appear in this update?

Horse gets confused, rides a mudcrab. Dragons go "WUTDAFUQ" and all drop dead.

Well I am gonna go with the most possible one like your weapon just disappears after mounting or after swinging for no apparent reason and can only appear again by dismounting.

Here's another one, while mounted on a horse you can't hit your target with a bow even though you are just a few meters from your target.

Apparently some NEW Dawngaurd stuff was added in the newest patch
And I am now officially actually excited about this patch. Thank you, sir!

Especially that bit about crossbows and vampire lords...

Yep, unfortunately. I do intend to get it for PC eventually, but I'm short on cash due to saving up for Bronycon and intend to use the little extra cash I have left to get Minecraft for me and my little bro. When I do get it though, modding those out of the game is literally the first thing I'm doing. It still sucks that they don't even make those f***ing things optional.

Can you use the bow while mounted on a horse with this patch?
Yeah, the blog link and full patch notes state that Ranged combat is included... not sure if that includes magic, but I'd say it's tied to the games duel wielding system, just with new animations.

bethesda games since morrowind are like chili, the longer they cook the better they get
That's pretty much the best way to describe them... try too soon, mmm it's okay.... let it cook and add a bit of spice (mods)? Fucking Yum!
