I'm surprised nobody has noted these kind of glitches relating to mounted combat, so I'm starting think I'm the only one experiencing these bugs.

Bugs include...

-If you hit somebody with a greatsword while mounted, the target goes flying way into the sky. (same fashion as the giants launching you) This happens to me 50% of the time I hit somebody.

-If you move close beside an enemy they get pushed around your horse (sometimes they circle the horse multiple times) until they've flung away from you, or have been pushed to the other side of your horse. This happens to me almost every time I go close to someone.

-If you murder somebody while on a horse, it might not register as a crime. (so no bounty, no guards chasing you) This isn't as common as the bugs listed above, but it is annoying when it does happen.

There's so much more bugs relating to mounted combat, but I couldn't be bothered listing them. The bugs above are the ones that bother me the most.

Am I the only one experiencing these?

Thread like this fill me with confidence over getting 1.6

Have to get it eventually.

wrong forum

Damn.

I need to get a greatsword

I found it only to be very problematic with the 2 hander, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong until i tried a 1 hander and it worked pretty much perfectly.

Totally!

Although I sympathize and of course such bugs should be sorted... I just gotta try that one.

Pretty sure I tried a greatsword and never had such a great reaction, maybe it is only with some enemies it does that? I return to my original character tomorrow, so will continue having fun with it.

Waaait... OP, are you playing on PC or console? *hopes for console*

Console.

*victory dance* now I have to do this before it's fixed!

Now we can even roleplay as a giant!

Anyway, I'll be waiting before I install 1.6, see what bugs pop up and such. I've got mods installed too, so I'll have to check which ones will bug out on me too.

That actually sounds like hours of potential fun.

Not when the target has good loot or quest items.

Maybe you should try that one on an actual giant

Am I the only one who thinks the bugs the OP is experiencing are actually pretty cool? I hope I experience them soon. The only thing that irked me about the giants ability to send me into the stratosphere was that I couldn't do the same to someone else... now it appears I can! Thanks for the info.

Also, it's kind of cool that you can hack people up without getting a bounty on your head for it.

I've had no problems with it, it's buggy for you, not for everyone.

I can get loot anywhere, rather play some elf-polo.

1.6 should not have been removed from "beta" yet. People were reporting all sorts of issues with it. Not one was fixed.

Any update on what greatsword I have to use with what enemy to get the great effect? I am having no luck so far.

Are you playing on Xbox or PC? I'm on PC, using the 1.6 beta for the past couple of weeks. So far I haven't experienced any of those particular bugs you mentioned, although I haven't tried attacking a friendly NPC while on horseback.

EDIT:
Moved to Xbox360 Hardware and Software Issues section of the forum.

Correct me if im wrong but arent all the giant effects added to your spell list if you use console commands to populate your spell book ( PSB is the command i think)?
