Mounted Combat Options

[Futebol]

That would make a really good addiction to Oblivion.

I mean a mod were you could damage enemy with the horse's strike, and it would gain strike level... So they could even attack other horse, like medieval duels.

Am I the only one that thinks its really odd that they didn't include mounted combat?

I mean isnt it kinda ackward that you'd have to get off your horse everytime just to fight?!

Oh and about the balance thing, since its not online you can choose what you want to do. If you want to be very powerful ride a horse, if you want to be powerful off a horse don't ride it. After all, this is Bethseda right?

Oh and fighting against someone thats on horse back, (and your not) isn't that hard. If you've ever play mount and blade you'd know, its as easy as getting on someones weak spot as it charges at you.

Meh, I don't really care about mounted combat. *shrugs* It's just fighting on a horse, is all. Nothing impressive. Not to mention it might be too easy to charge someone who is not on a horse when you're mounted. I think that's where it could be unbalancing, not to mention easy and boring. But, what happens if you have a dagger or something that has short reach? Are you in trouble, then?

Anyway, I'm used to games in which you have to get off your mount and gee, I don't know, fight fairly? I think getting off of your mount would require timing and common sense. You have to think of where to put your horse safely and stuff like that. I think that would increase some more, er, strategy or at least make the game more difficult?

I think there will definitely be a mod, due to popular demand. So, I do not think you should be too worried.
