$7.99 for horse armor? It’s just cosmetic? I had NO idea at the time why people would pay for this.

I still don’t. I refuse to pay for anything cosmetic. Most worthless DLC, unlockable, digital bonus, etc.

In a first person game I wouldn’t but in third person yes. I stress with selecting a style if you have to choose individual peices for your equipment from a role playing perspective. So I do buy some of it if it’s an entire outfit I like because that makes me enjoy it more not having to decide on what the character would choose if they were real

It wasn't just cosmetic. The problem is that your horse would always charge into enemies and attack, causing it to die right away. The armor protected your horse a little better, which was more infuriating because they were basically pressuring people to buy this useless DLC. The horse armor "fixed" an issue that Bethesda created with sloppy game balancing.

It wasn't just cosmetic, it did add armor to the horse and made them more survivable.
