I love bethesda, Very few developers would add nice little additional features free with their patches, defiantly one of the 'good-guy' developers

This is why Bethesda gets respect from me.
Yes they have bugs BUT they fix them, and now this.
They show support to their players create all this awesome stuff, and work hard to make you proud to buy their stuff and to tell others you like it.
They dont ***** about artistic integrity or defend day 1 DLC.
They treat you like a customer and one they want to come back.
I have enjoyed Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim.
I cant wait to get Dawnguard.
Now if you can excuse me I have some mods to test!

couple of things: the giant spider you've been trying to avoid actually does exist and is really honking big, but it only lives in like, one specific area
and i was more freaked out about the massive chaurus nest because at some point you realize the number of eggs you have picked up in there exceeds the populations of all of the major cities combined
also, you don't have enough ponies
you will have more of them and you will enjoy it or else
(seriously, if you don't want them, don't mention them)

Good gods I had successfully blanked that mod form my mind till you brought it up.weirdguy said:
That is creepy in a VERY unfunny way.
Horse gets confused, rides a mudcrab. Dragons go "WUTDAFUQ" and all drop dead.Antonio Torrente said:
Well I am gonna go with the most possible one like your weapon just disappears after mounting or after swinging for no apparent reason and can only appear again by dismounting.The Rogue Wolf said:
Here's another one, while mounted on a horse you can't hit your target with a bow even though you are just a few meters from your target.
That would make it a bit tricky...gigastrike said:
Although, riding a horse and using a bow in real life isn't a piece of cake either.
Yep, unfortunately. I do intend to get it for PC eventually, but I'm short on cash due to saving up for Bronycon and intend to use the little extra cash I have left to get Minecraft for me and my little bro. When I do get it though, modding those out of the game is literally the first thing I'm doing. It still sucks that they don't even make those f***ing things optional.Clive Howlitzer said:
Yeah, the blog link and full patch notes state that Ranged combat is included... not sure if that includes magic, but I'd say it's tied to the games duel wielding system, just with new animations.Not G. Ivingname said:
That's pretty much the best way to describe them... try too soon, mmm it's okay.... let it cook and add a bit of spice (mods)? Fucking Yum!rembrandtqeinstein said:
That is actually an awesome idea. Give the actual development team, the people who not only know what they're doing bu know the actual intricacies of the code and engine, time to to make whatever they want. Everybody should do that. It isn't expensive, you don't have to add anything if nothing good comes up, but you get the option of dozens of new features. That's just a smart idea.
Seriously? Am I misreading or are there people posting on this site who are unaware of mounted archers? Wow!
Frankly, lord of the land style player I am, I'm thrilled with the idea that a bandit will now leap out in front of me on my horse only to be trampled and finally, if that isn't enough, horribly slashed with whatever weapon seems to suit the occasion.
Maiming. This game now requires maiming! Giant war hammers, animated crushing blows from horse back. Come on Bethesda, we're counting on you!

A mod to make horses faster and a mod that allows you to whistle to call your horse wherever you are, as long as you're outside, and your horse is suddenly very lovable.
Add to that a mod that makes your horse double as a pack mule, and it becomes infinitely more useful.
And now with mounted combat, it'd be stupid not to have a horse.

You know what would be even more awesome? Mounted bandits. Imagine, roaming the lands when... wait! What's that? By the Nine it's a mounted raid!Namehere said:
And as the DragonBorn you fus roh dah their asses off their mounts and splatter their brains on the grassy fields with your mighty warhammer.
It would make for a nice high level encounter.

The traditional "thrusting spear" lance has been around since at least Alexander the Great. The couched lance required stirrups, but if your intent is to take a long pole with a spear point and jam it at high speed into your enemy, you only really need a horse. And an enemy, I suppose.
