lol mounted combat...... pretty useless if you ask me. Horses are hard to turn so when fighting its hard to hit your enemies. But it is free so i cant complain.

What about trying it before deciding that it's useless?

Sweeeeeeet!!! Need to make a rohan-style character now.

Hopefully this will get the all-clear for consoles soon. I have a vacation coming up in two weeks.

Yay! Now we can pull off Ride-By Swordings on Thalmor goon squads!

I'm always hauling gear, so a horse is always waiting for me at any given cave/dungeon/barrow/crypt entrance.

I probably won't specifically engage in horse combat, but the opportunity to cast a summon or an AOE spell or use a summon/AOE staff would be awesome!

Pretty disheartened after reading the patch notes. Would prefer if they fix more things instead of adding useless stuff like this. For example, Dragons still not landing after they already fixed that (1.4 broke it again I think) or the ADHD dragons that fly away after a goat in the mountains while I'm in the middle of fighting it, never to be seen again.

I'm literally dying right now, lol.

I know it's strange, but really I'm more interested in the memory optimizations more than anything else, as I'd love to see even further performance enhancements.

I suppose this is wonderful, assuming it works with general effectiveness.

I just messed with it for about ten minutes. Here's my report:

It's pretty cool. You can use one and two handed weapons and bows. But no magic or staves. The controls are somewhat odd, but it's still fun as hell and is awesome.

Mounted combat? Now dawns the age of hit and run and drive by, fantasy style!

Now would be a good time to think about 1st person while riding. Mounted combat is fun, but I'm not using horses that much, auto-switch to 3rd person being a big immersion-breaker for me.
(Not mentionning it might be awful to aim with a bow on a horse in 3rd person mode)

I think that it's not that difficult to use a bow in 3rd person. In my opinion it also looks more epic.

Looking forward to this coming to console.

It does look awesome. Nice shot

well, I don't see any youtube videos yet except for one troll who doesn't show anything :/

I will link a video once one appears.

Mounted combat you say? Oh, what is that?

The sound of the Dragonborn smiting enemies from the back of a really, really pissed off Horker from my wild beast riding mod?

YOU BET! Haters gonna hate. U mad, bandits?

can someone post up a video as soon as possible?

would love to see it's implementation before I try it out for myself.

Making a video now. It wont be any fancy editing, just some clips of me on a horse.

"Atomic" Nirnroots haven't been patched either! Though I'm not really complaining, makes them super easy to find!

Actually, it's a very beneficial feature. The only reason I never used horses before is because of the excruciating need to get on and off anytime something attacks you on the road. With this, if it's something weak, you can just dispatch it and keep galloping.

Will first person be available for mounted combat or only 3rd?

Horse riding is already third person only, so it's only third person.

Nope. Only melee weapons and bow. :<

Ranged and Melee mounted combat.... but magic was to much to ask.
