(Canter is supposed to be 3 rooms, I went 4.)
Is there something special about this area, or is this a bug? Looks like a bug to me.
<<Walk and Prance have always been 1 room.
Trot 2 rooms.
Canter 4 rooms.
Gallop 6 rooms.
Not sure where you heard otherwise.>>
I suppose I should have known better than to take what was listed on the DR website under the horse system info as gospel. Here is what it says there:
Movement:
Horses have four speeds: walk, trot, canter and gallop. Walk moves your horse at the same speed that your character moves, one room at a time. Trot, canter, and gallop move two, three and four rooms at a time, provided that there are enough rooms in a row in that specific direction. If you gallop north and there are only three rooms with a northern exit, the horse will travel three rooms north and then stop to see which way you want to go next.
I guess that's where the real 'bug' is located. Perhaps someone could fix that so it's more accurate?
