Horsemanship?

When you have horsemanship you can attack while on your horse or shoot
arrows on the horse.

should there be horsemanship on the next game?

Yeah. A whole perk tree just for riding and handling horse better. I like it.

Don't need a perk for it, just make it a feature if they can do it right.

two worlds 1 horseback riding is far ahead of beth's titles and i can dominate in combat.

yes, there should be some kind of a system for horse combat and better horse gameplay, in general.

I don't use horses much, and the lack of mounted combat is a major reason for it. However I understand that this is difficult to balance without it being a major feature - if most enemies aren't mounted combat could be too easy from horseback, and if many enemies are mounted it might be very difficult if you aren't as well. These aren't insurmountable problems, but they aren't easy to work through.

If Bethesda wants to do it I have no problems with that - particularly if it involves bringing polearms in as a weapon category. If Bethesda wants to continue without mounted combat I'm not going to have a problem with that either. Having a skill and perk tree for this sounds interesting, but I question it's usefulness. There are large areas of their games horses can't go, and the presence of a skill like this might make balancing mounted combat more difficult rather than less.

Hey, here is a little secret.

Mounted combat is not implemented not because Beths are lazy, but because they tried and it svcked.
