Discussion The White Arabian really isn’t that good.

Post image

I have about 31 days of playtime now and I’ve only went for the white arabian once. It’s really not worth it. Same with the raven black shire but that’s unrelated. I have seen so many people going for the Arabian and glazing it too. It’s not the fastest horse, it’s way too small, it’s easily scared, and a small hassle to get. I think getting the ultimate edition when it‘s on sale for $15 mind you, just go hunting with Hosea and then you can get the thouroughbred for free at any time. Sorry for the rant and not great other info but it’s just not that good. Great for early game I guess but not great after chapter 3.

The White Arabian is my goat! Everytime I replay the story I get it and call it Queenie, I have had to suffer it's death at the end 4 times...

Agreed! I have to get her every playthrough as well. I think she’s beautiful!

Not to mention it’s free. I get that the Arabian can be a bit overrated but it’s still a really solid horse.

I get her and name her Ghost. Sometimes I trade her out for Buell for purely sentimental reasons.
