who fucking thought this was a good idea? it's so goddamn boring.
Horses just automatically follow the roads, no input needed at all
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.
