Oblivion Horses, more info please Options

[Faldwin]

I know that horses are in Oblivion but is there any to other
information regarding them. Like if there is a new equestrian skill. Do the horses throw you off if the skill isn't high enough. Will they buck you if you steal them from someone. Will they require any care or lodging? Will NPCs treat you differently if you're riding to horse. Can horses step on small creatures to kill them? I realize this is to long list of questions, but Íve always wanted to
horse in MW under I want to know if they're good in Oblivion.

i think we can trust bethesda on this one. mounts are absolute must to this game, and i really really dont think it does spoil the fun in any way, i rather think it adds to the fun greatly.

right now, i really hate to walk for so long to reach any city in MW or just any location.

i just dont see your points of complaint here. if you dont want a horse, dont buy one. no ones gonna push you up that thing, and yell "ride or die" or whatever.

and about horses not being able to be used in towns. my guess is, there are guards who hinder you to use horses in SOME towns, NOT ALL towns. thats what they said in some of those interviews. so i assume its NOT a technical issue (like they werent able to implement horses in towns or something) but more of a design / realism issue. like you arent allowed to ride in big and clean cities, or, as someone else mentioned, in cities with tight streets and such.

and that makes perfect sense for me.
