Update 1.6 has mounted combat! : V

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:33 am

Sorry, if there's an "Offical" thread for this subject floating around. If so please link and close mods.

It looks like mounted combat will be available in the next update for Steam soon and the consoles TBA.

So anyway, I can't wait until the update drops. I guess I'll be putting the DB quest line on the top of my list!

EDIT: Found the official thread http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1376243-new-beta-update-on-steam-168706/. It's locked though.
There's also a second thread floating around so be ready this or http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1376250-update-16-has-mounted-combat/ will probably wind up being locked.

Bethesda has just released a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1376243-new-beta-update-on-steam-168706/and it contains mounted combat! I thought I'd post here to let console players know, since this is just really cool!

I'm going to try it out right now!

YES!!!! This made my day

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

I know many people on here are going to love mounted combat. It is one of the most-requested things I see here on the forums.

Its 'meh' to me, I have never even ridden one of skyrim's horses as I prefer walking.

This is great news for those watching for gamejam updates though, each one that gets releases makes it more likely we get most of gamejam.

and this one came out rather quick too, been only a month since we got kinect.

here's to hoping werewolf perk trees are next.

^^^ in reply to above we don't have any videos yet.

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

I'm also interested in the "memory optimizations" they've made, because if it's anywhere near as impactful as 1.4, needless to say, I'm excited as [censored].

holy crap, didn't see that the beta for it was released today!

well, what are you doing reading my post?!?!?! go try it out pc users!!!!

Now I regret shouting shadowmere off of the throat of the world...

Ya ya ya ya

Bethesda have been great with updates releasing things for free. How many companies would have just bundled this in with upcoming DLC?

*bows down to Beth*

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.

Mounted combat?

Bah! I want spears!!

Just Kidding;) This is great!!!

Could this mean we'll get some form of spell-making in a future update?

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:11 pm

I hope to god that they fix the navmesh bug on pc.

YESSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!
I knew I had hope in Bethesda , and EVEN BEFORE THE DLC !!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god....

Wow. Made my day!!!!

probably not (at least anytime soon) since that would require a great deal more work with balancing than simply adding the ability to fight while mounted on a horse.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:10 am

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)

yeah, this took me completely by surprise.

a great prequel-to-Friday gift I suppose? :laugh:

Sweet. Though Nirnroot glow clean up is long overdue, and just as sweet. I keep expecting to see [RAD : +1/sec].

Putting the DB quest line at the top of my list of my current play through so when the update is console ready, I will be too!
