mounted combat... kind of a random thing to add but awesome still

This...it makes me happy

*already fantasising about making a character named Aragorn, with a longsword and bow*

seriously, fans have been wailing about this since release its massive fan service, just like pretty much everything they have done so far (Crossbows, Werewolf/Vampire trees, Vampire Lords, Magic/Ranged Killcams, better water effects).

they are basically going through the GameJam content and ticking it off feature by feature

That's what I love about Bethesda, they listen to the fans.

Now if only they could be as thorough with their QC then everything would be perfect.

*ahem*

yeah... fast travelling caused a few people on GFQ to freeze

Mounted combat is still a little clunky sadly, at least when I was using it in the beta patch. Archery on horseback was quite fun though.

Who uses horses?

My High Elf Archer-Mage has enough stamina to run from one end of Tamriel to the other. Not to mention she wears Light armor, and it weighs essentially nothing.

Already done with mods haha

I didn't even know they ever added a werewolf/vampire skill tree.......I thought it was cool as hell being a werewolf during the missions it made you,but never saw a point to it after that....game was pretty easy
