Feels like horses got little to no upgrade from Oblivion. They still handle pretty awkward, the fact that there is no mounted combat is understandable but then some other issues appear:
1. NPCs and Creatures just tend to attack the horse all the time.
2. The horse wants to kill everything, the moment a enemy appears and i dismount my horse charges to attack.
3. Eventually sometimes my horse hides but then there is no way to call him back so you have to spend some time trying to find him.
4. Gets very easily killed and there goes my gold investment.
They just become more of a hassle than anything else.
Now for children, my problem here is that compared the amazing work Bethesda did with all the voice actors with really good quality, there is only 2 voice actors for children, one for boys and one for girls and they are terrible, it feels very weird where everyone speaks with an accent and then you got children that sound like they came out of Fallout (which they are probably the same) meaning they sound like Americans. They really could have put a little more effort in finding better children for the voice acting.
But so far only these two issues, the game is amazing and everything you would love about a TES game.
