You don't have to do it, you know. They have auto-pathing on top of manual control.

wait, seriously? i played the whole game moving my horse normally

>normal hud

The intended purpose was for players to have their horse move without input so they could enjoy looking around without having to multitask
>inb4 looking at what?

Yes, that's actually one of the first things Aonuma revealed about the game back in 2014, he said they had horse AI programmed so that they'd automatically avoid obstacles. If you stay on a path and start riding a horse, they'll keep following it while avoiding obstacles without you needing to touch the control stick at all. You can pretty much get from one end of the world to the other.

It's for firing arrows on the move. The horse also fights you if it doesn't trust you. Alright mechanic IMO.

Because a horse is a living creature with a mind of its own. Its not a car or a bike. A horse can see and avoid obstacles abd follow paths on its own because it is alive. Also, why are you complaining about this like a bad thing? You can still manually steer the horse if you want and theres a fucking motorcycle in the game too.

horses literally can be and are trained to do this

you cant turn the auto pathing off.

if you try to manually steer the horse it feels awkward because the auto pathing is fighting with you

It only activates after a while if you're riding on a marked path without touching the control stick, it's not going to happen by accident nor can it mess up what you're doing.

>OP just automatically sucks cocks, no input needed at all
Who fucking thought this was a good idea? It's so goddamn erotic.

>Giant openworld game
>'story is optional, we don't want to hold your hand and want you to discover all the amazing things the world has to offer by exploring it randomly1!!!'
>lets you fast travel immediately between towers and shrines, thereby limiting your ability to explore the world organically

what did they mean by this?

So like a regular horse then?

You have to discover them first to fast travel to them, so how does that matter?

But you can only fast travel to shrines and towers you've activated yourself. How is that limiting your ability to explore?

Any open world game without fast travel sounds awful.

>8 towers
>all can be reached by traveling on the main road using the horse.
>Can be seen easily from a distance, don't even have to try hard to find them.

You don't even have to 'explore' to find them. Not to mention once you do find them, the only difficult one to climb is the one surrounded by water and electric enemies


as for shrines
>has a beeper telling you where they are
>Yet not hand holding

????

Without fast travel, the overworld would be a nightmare to traverse

>You can fast travel to the towers right away ruining your exploration!
>You have to explore and travel to them first
>Okay but the area you're explore isn't interesting!

Would you have preferred the Towers follow your example and shifted their position away from the player whenever you got close?

if you don't want the beeper to hold your hand while shrine hunting just turn it off like I did

No it doesn't you fucking liar

I think it's great. You can just put him on the path and look around you can take control and lead when you want to.

Never thought of that, thanks.

>not turning it off
Stop watching let's plays and play the game retard

Honestly the horses were pretty pointless.
Horses can't climb.
Horses can't glide.
I think there's like one mini-game and one or two sidequests that involve a horse.

Horses do that irl as well

Skyrim did it best. Hold up to make the horse go, and control the direction with the camera. Nice and relaxing, but just enough stimulation to be enjoyable.

I turned it off instantly cause it was so annoying.

yes it does you fucking dipshit. trying to steer it manually sucks because the horse has its own auto path

Never rode a horse huh?

No, it doesn't. Go shitpost somewhere else.

Not him but I have never had this problem unless the horse has zero trust in you

Too bad the horses are slowest fucking animal in the game

No, but my horse enjoys mountaineering from high places, swimming, ice climbing, and rafting.
