i really love this game but i think it has a huge problem : we are FORCED to ride in third person.
now, you can like it,...or not .
i loved riding in first person in oblivion, now riding is a nightmare and the first person MOD doesnt work with 1.7 patch.
mounted combat ruined it and it's not possible to create a new one (too difficult they say , there are combat animations now ).

so please, can you make a first person patch for horses ?

I agree , they really should work on it.

Before mounted combat I hated it as well. But now that they have it, I think the only way to make it work is third person.
