Speaking of horses, I very often travel by horse myself, and so I really do not tolerate it when enemies decide they would rather kill my Equine companion than attack me. Any enemy that tries that INSTANTLY receives console justice until the battle ends. I then move my horse someplace else, go back on foot, re-enable them, and kill with extreme prejudice.
I HATE it when they do that. It's immersion-breaking and unrealistic. :shakehead:
