[REQ] Taking your spouse/companion/rescued on your horse for the ride

[LCroft]

Pretty much as in the title  Could someone make a mod which allows Dovahkiin to take someone into his/her own saddle for the ride, please.

 

The "guest rider" can sit normally behind your back or amazon style (sideways) in front of you 

 

Would be much, much appreciated

It's been 3 weeks... I hope I'm allowed to elevate the topic at least once again

Not a bad idea as long as you can't put a dog behind you on the horse LOL

[VinnyNotris]

I hope someone makes this

For a start we'll need a custom horse skeleton, an idle anim for the partner sitting in front of the character and some scripting (to put the NPC to the saddle and to determine which variant is used (if both are implemented) to move the player to proper saddle "slot" as the new skeleton would have 2). Personally I'll try to find time to look what can be done about horse skeleton.

 

Side note: My dream is to modify Blaze that way

Brilliant idea.

 

Maybe if they're a caster or ranger they can help you out, too.

Well, the initial idea was to take my darling for a ride or travel with a rescued victim w/o risk to loose them (fast travel is an option, but it breaks the immersion) 

[herpman]

Well, sure, but don't spouse options usually have some kinda combat prowess? What if you're set upon by a pack of bandits, or a dragon, or, worse, a bear?

 

 

 

It also opens up the option of bringing in live bounties(Or slaves). Truss 'em up and haul them over the horse like 'ol John Marston.

I have Lydia (modded of course) as the spouse and can make her essential just in case

 

Yup, that variant has also right to live
