Is a horse actually faster than running?
I'm pretty disappointed with my horse. He wasn't cheap -- 1000g -- but he just doesn't seem that fast. To make things worse, he's a bit of a wolf magnet and every time I get attacked I have to tediously dismount, blast the wolf, and then remount.
Is the speed of a horse actually significantly faster than normal running speed? If so, how much faster?
Question from user David Fullerton at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Not only is the horse faster (not even considering their higher base stamina -- Horses can sprint much longer than a stamina-light Dohvakiin!), but they can be ridden while encumbered.
So if two Dovahkiin (Dovahki?) were to race across a flat plain, one on a horse and the other on foot, the horse-bound hero would win every time. Horses are marginally faster.
So what about when you're not traveling in a straight line?
Turns out, the horse will still win, as, despite their cumbersome turning, horses flaunt a blatant disregard for physics that can quickly turn into an incredible timesaving path.
Consider: When you're on foot, you must run around any mountains in your path.
Horses, on the other hand, have no qualms with running straight up the mountainous slopes.
