The Elder Scrollsplayer u/Sherlock_DaVinci discovered a weird, yet hilariousSkyrimbug that turned his player character from a Dovahkiin into a horse.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimhas been around for over a decade now, but there is truly no shortage of new experiences to be had. Whether it’s a new piece of lore, a previously undiscovered cave, or an unintended “feature,” players have continued to find joy inSkyrim’s albeit wonky world.
Even now, oneSkyrimplayer came across a unique bug that completely changed their Dovahkiin player character - not just the character’s outfit, but the very model (and species!) itself.
THE DOVA-HORSESKYRIMBUG
Right when you think you’ve seen everyThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimbug, a new one inevitably rolls around. Or, in this case, gallops around. When u/Sherlock_DaVinci loaded up their Skyrim game, they were in for a more equine adventure than they anticipated.
They attempted to mount their horse, but the game unexpectedly glitched. It decided that the player was not, in fact, the warrior u/Sherlock_DaVinci had built, but rather the very horse they were trying to mount. The resultingSkyrimbug is equal parts strange and hilarious, as the player just prances around the world. Check out the full clip below:
The player commented that their character simply disappeared when they first tried to mount their horse. After running around, trying to dismount, and trying to attack, they realized that their very player model was replaced by the horse’s. Others commented on the post, jokingly calling the bug the player the “Equine-borne.” Ironically, many enjoyed the thought of a horse-centeredSkyrimgame. Maybe someone out there will replicate the bug for a full horse playthrough.
