I've noticed your horses stealing the spotlight on occasion, so I'm going to shamelessly plug my own mod, Conjure Ethereal Horse: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11235

@Gryphes2k I'm a Christian but I still don't like the way your acting. Insulting someone is not the way to treat anybody, regardless of beliefs. Stating what they believe isn't really wrong, but putting it in a negative way trying to insult them isn't right. And yes, I'm talking about Muslims.

@Gryphes2k Islam is a religion and Muslims are the ppl who follows it. Im a Muslim, but regarding religion most of it has only one God,it's just politics and corruption that's ruining the theme of it and people are judging themselves by this. think mass effect or Skyrim, We all are Humans..lol...same being not some aliens !!

The spider should be able to climb up walls, the dragon should fly and attack as well as the other mounts!!!

Hmm, the mystical mounts is disappointing. Good idea, but they're really not useable.

@SHEETBIKE It's a Daedric artifact called 'Dawnbreaker'. You get it for completing the daedra Meridia's quest. And yes, it looks awesome (and it glows brighter when near undead).

@Gryphes2k Yeah.. except my country is one of the most ethnically diverse in the world, and we don't have any issues with that. I don't think you'll find a single case of people being denied their religious rights here :/. But w.e.

Why are you arguing racist bullcrap in comments about Skyrim mods? Save it for Stormfront / your local Klan meeting.

I'd prefer mods that actually enhance the game, instead of just dressing it up as a silly clown.

I downloaded about 30-40 mods, and when I loaded the last save, some people had o faces, others no hair, if I entered any house, the screen turned black, and finally the game crashed 5 minutes later....

@Gryphes2k nitpicky. Fine, ethnic slur if you'd rather. My point remains.

@Gryphes2k we would rather you abstain from your racial slander. Great video, I always end up finding a mod I enjoy that isn't endorsed much (aka I don't see it when I browse the nexus/steam workshop), pity we have to deal with comments like yours. Concerning the video, keep this weekly thing up. Very nice :).
