You see, Skyrim isn't meant to be a simulationist Fantasy RPG. It was intended to be a Glitch Simulator.

Bethesda has gotten wise to fan attempts to "fix" the game, and have responded by releasing a patch that breaks the game even harder if you use bugfixes.

dont you get it? Fixing bugs IS the game. The rest of us are just testers. The new patch is really a bug-fixing expansion for the modders.

So now that horse combat is in I immediately had to try making a horse archer. I'm feeling a little disappointed.

Has anyone else actually had any luck in using horse combat? I found it very difficult to actually hit anything with my arrows. Shooting ahead is okay, but trying to shoot sideways is quite difficult. Shooting backwards is impossible of course, so I'm left with the option of just riding straight at any enemies.

It also doesn't help that the majority of my shots miss, or that most enemies can keep up with the horse. I couldn't help but think, "Gee, I could have ended this fight a minute ago if I had just gotten off the horse and sneak shot him".

I don't know...maybe I've just been spoiled by Mount & Blade and it's delicious and sweaty archer on horse action.

I really have no idea how Bethesda continues to fail to make decent horses.

Because, unlike M&B, Skyrim is actually a game, rather than a mounted combat simulator with some plot tacked on?

It's such a simple formula to tack into existing engines! How could they not?

lol M&B and Skyrim comparisons.

M&B is about... mount and blade. Thats not skyrim. I'd assume a game with the word "Mount" in it would have better mount mechanics then a game called "The Elder Scrolls"

If they just ponied up the cash and time to put a few more hours into it, could possibly be a decent addition.

But neigh, they won't, because the mainstream either won't use it or it's just an addition that gives that tiny bit extra. At least it's a free patch, albeit not stable, as is par for Bethesda games.
