We knew that Neverwinter allowed players to ride giant spiders – that much was obvious – but a new trailer has revealed that they can also ride horses! And there was me thinking those wildly roaming quadrupeds were just for eating.
John had a rather good time with Neverwinter when he played it recently, and the game is currently in beta wot you can sign up for.

I don’t like horse – there are hooves in it.

For one second I thought this was Skyrim. Spider mount please :(

Spider PCs please

Riding horses? That’s neigh fun.

Horse-riding puns for the whinny!
04/03/2013 at 15:24 RedViv says:
It colt very well be that RPS news without pun threads are impossible.
04/03/2013 at 15:33 Adriaan says:
But the puns are RPS’ mane attraction!
04/03/2013 at 15:35 Faldrath says:
They’re thoroughbredly bad, though :(
04/03/2013 at 15:41 Low Life says:
Oh, please. Puns are puns, get off your high horse.
04/03/2013 at 17:18 TheMopeSquad says:
All this equine’ing about puns is making me saddle :(
04/03/2013 at 17:44 LennyLeonardo says:
There’s no need to get a cob on. They are a bit tacky though.
04/03/2013 at 15:38 JFS says:
Well, people tend to ride such waves.
04/03/2013 at 15:59 cpt_freakout says:
I’d say they gallop to them, rather, and too fast for my liking.
04/03/2013 at 15:49 stiffkittin says:
Funny. The horses are animated better than the humanoids in this game.
04/03/2013 at 17:50 akaleus says:
My thoughts exactly.
04/03/2013 at 18:25 jon_hill987 says:
Actually it is probably just that you are more familiar with bipedal motion, you know what people are supposed to look like. Unless you work with horses every day you would not pick up on the mistakes in the same way causing equally well (or badly) animated models to seem different.
EDIT: Watched the vid again. No, the horses are just as bad as the people.

Why do these Neverwinter videos have these terrible joke voice overs? They seem really out of place.
I’ve improved the soundtrack: http://bit.ly/XOjuHi

LMAO
Fits perfectly.
04/03/2013 at 17:52 akaleus says:
Epic. Thank you for this.
04/03/2013 at 22:16 Arglebargle says:
I think they think they are making a joke, rather than being one…..
04/03/2013 at 17:26 TheMopeSquad says:
Love the segue into an advertisement for VIP packages, this game really has its priorities straight.
04/03/2013 at 17:30 LennyLeonardo says:
This trailer is ridiculous. The girth strap should be under the horse’s armpits. UNDER ITS ARMPITS. Its as if they don’t even want my money. IT MAKES ME SICK. I’m going to pirate it just to um… like… show them… something. OK bye.
04/03/2013 at 17:34 Jake says:
Horses have armpits? But they don’t have arms…
04/03/2013 at 17:34 LennyLeonardo says:
Oh, you pedant.
04/03/2013 at 17:33 Klaus says:
Horses are ugly. it needed to be said.
04/03/2013 at 17:36 LennyLeonardo says:
SHUT YOUR FACE.
Ahem, what? Did someone say something?
04/03/2013 at 18:15 SominiTheCommenter says:
I will keep posting this video as long there are horses involved:

If I see any drow on the surface I will send them racist hate messages and goddammit if they ban me from the game, it’s totally within the universe lore!
04/03/2013 at 19:02 The First Door says:
So… I am going to be totally unable to call horses anything other than ‘Sport Cows’ now. I’m blaming you for the funny looks I’ll get, Jim!
04/03/2013 at 19:04 PostieDoc says:
I don’t like spiders.
05/03/2013 at 00:08 Otter says:
Oh good gravy, I just got the “sports cow” line… so very very bad. But now I wonder if they come with leather seats…
05/03/2013 at 01:49 RakeShark says:
Did… did I just see a matte shot?
05/03/2013 at 05:17 Bart Stewart says:
Wait — so giant spiders can also ride horses?
That is a world that must exist.
