Mounted Combat Comes to Skyrim

I might well revisit Skyrim once the patch is installed, then. I just hope they've improved the horse controls, i.e added some. It would be nice if my horse would stay put, instead of always wandering off to wherever I "acquired" it from. In the same way that it would be nice if they didn't rush into fights against frost trolls. Thank the Nine for the Resurrect console command.
... sounds alright, but do NPCs ride horses into combat too?? Will there be spears so I can charge at enemies and such?
Well, at least they got there eventually. Any word on spellcasting on horseback? Mages have been gimped enough already, so at least that much would even out the playing field a little.
Skyrim still stinks of waaaaaaaaaaay too little, waaaaaaaaaaay too late. I wanted it to be good, but it just failed at pretty much every turn, adding mounted combat won't change that for me. But I do hope all that effort pleases -at the very least- someone. It'd be a shame for the work put into the addition to go entirely to waste.
No lad. No. You've got to consider your reputation. You don't take on 'mounted bandits'. Slaughtering the bandit scum from horse is just, common sense I suppose. To really be heroic, you make the Storm Cloaks or Imperials hate your guts, and then you take out their cavalry, every last mounted bastard ye find! Aye, you'll win that war yet, whether the scripting likes it or no. LMAORagsnstitches said:
Seriously? There have to be mounted adversaries now, there's no two ways about it. It would be nice to see roaming bands on horseback. So yea, I'm totally behind your mounted bandit initiative. Of course my horse no longer makes me feel special. I mean usually its rich guys and imperials on horses, just handing them out to bandits... Well there had better be a lot of dead someone's to justify all those mounted bandits. And when they die, I want the horse. Sorry, I can take their armour, cheese and weapons I want the horse to! Or at least the option to take the horse.
Maybe the charge doesn't do damage? If it does then mounted may be a bit overpowered, but it all equals out when you consider horses aren't allowed indoors. Now if mounted Archery is allowed it'll be SUPER overpowered.Hungry Donner said:Eh, mounted combat seems horrendously overpowered . . . unless they are added speedy or mounted enemies, in which case horses will practically be a requirement . . . unless spears/polearms are added to the game.
These balancing issues likely continue until you give a mouse a cookie.
Also, spears and polearms will (supposedly) be added, though I doubt they'll topple horses or do extra damage to them.
Also, question: Would using the one-handed sword on horseback up my sword skill? Or-and this is very unlikely-are they planning on adding another warrior skill pertaining to mounted combat?
Now I can feel like I'm in Shadow of the Colossus when I'm firing my bow at a pursuing dragon. You can fire bows from horseback right?
When they make a balancing patch that makes the game difficult instead of a mindless lulz fest let me know.
Quest items should have their own list/container/abilty to drop from your inventory, and killcams should have a toggle option. Also, the quest log should be more detailed and the floating arrows need to be completely removed. Don't give us a big, open world if you're going to hold our hands every step of the way.
