skeletonbow: This! Those ninja assassin chicks from Half-life. Ugh, they're sooooo annoying. I actually abandoned my game of Opposing Force part way through after getting bored of them.
Ikarugamesh: I'll leave this... ;) Cyberevil: Have I got a girl for you! Tembra
Also... you're aware there are carriages to take you town to town right? :P I never bother with horses in Skyrim... not even the Dark Brotherhood one... they are just walking meat
Yes, but carriages don't take you to any random map marker destinations, but fast-travel does. Also, you can not take a carriage if you're overburdened, nor can you fast travel on foot. You can however fast travel to any destination on the map if you're on horseback no matter how overburdened you are.

I didn't like the horses in Skyrim at first because I thought they were too slow even when running, but that was before I discovered the "sprint" key (ALT) which lets them run a lot faster than you can on foot. Also, horses can climb up physics-defying slopes on mountains that you can't climb by hand. Can't do that on a carriage either.
The horses are stupid in many ways, such as aggressively attacking anything in the game that remotely poses a threat 10 miles away even if it is a dragon or some other sure-death for the horse. But frequent save games and being careful can make the horse rather useful. Horse mounted combat sucks ass though.
Not sure what you mean about the Dark Brotherhood, but I killed them all because they pissed me off kidnapping me into a cabin in the middle of nowhere suddenly right while I was about to "do shit", making me have to walk for 2 days on foot overburdened to get to a horse. :)
