How to Make a Stolen Horse Yours in Skyrim
Skyrim is a vast open-world game where you can do anything you desire, but some players may find themselves in a predicament when they see a beautiful horse in the middle of nowhere but realize it’s marked as ‘stolen.’ In this article, we will dive into the steps you need to take to make a stolen horse yours in Skyrim.
Understanding the Crime System in Skyrim
Skyrim has a crime system in place, which means that any horse that you steal will be marked as stolen. It’s essential to understand the consequences of owning a stolen horse. If you ride a stolen horse in front of a guard, you’ll be asked to pay a fine or go to jail. This means that you can’t legally own a stolen horse, so you’ll have to either negotiate with the thief or legally acquire the horse.
Identifying the Stolen Horse
Before making a stolen horse yours, you need to identify whether the horse is stolen or not. You can check the horse’s status by selecting it and checking the information in the top left corner of the game screen. If the horse’s status is marked as ‘stolen,’ you’ll need to take further steps to acquire the horse legally.
Tracking Down the Thief
Once you’ve identified the stolen horse, the next step is to track down the thief. You can start by asking around the nearby towns or settlements, and ultimately, the thief will appear. Once you’ve found the thief, you have two options – negotiate with them or retrieve the stolen horse forcefully.
Negotiating with the Thief
Negotiating with the thief is the least violent option. You can attempt to persuade the thief to give you the stolen horse as a gift, or promise to pay them for it. It’s essential to have a high speech skill level to negotiate effectively. The higher your speech skill, the easier it is to persuade the thief to give you the horse.
- Tip: If the thief refuses to negotiate, try increasing your speech skill level by visiting a speech trainer or reading a skill book to improve your chances of success.
Retrieving the Stolen Horse
If negotiating doesn’t work, you’ll have to retrieve the stolen horse by force. This option is not recommended, as it can lead to a fight, and it’s illegal. However, if you still choose to go ahead with this option, you need to be prepared for combat. Equip yourself with the right weapon and armor, and engage the thief in a fight. Once the thief is defeated, you can take ownership of the stolen horse.
Legally Acquiring the Horse
If you don’t want any trouble with the guards or risk having a bounty on your head, you can complete the Thieves Guild questline. Once you’ve completed the questline, you can acquire the stolen horse legally. You can also purchase a horse from any stable in Skyrim or buy one from a merchant.
Building a Strong Relationship with Your New Horse
Now that you’ve acquired a horse, it’s essential to build a strong relationship with it. Giving the horse a name can be the first step towards this. You can also feed it, pet it and ride it frequently. The more you interact with your horse, the stronger your bond will be.
In conclusion, making a stolen horse yours in Skyrim requires understanding the crime system, identifying the stolen horse, tracking down the thief, and either negotiating with the thief or retrieving the horse by force. Legally acquiring a horse is the best option to avoid any trouble with the guards. Building a strong relationship with your horse takes time and effort, but it’s worth it in the end. Remember, treating your horse well will make it a loyal companion and a valuable asset.
