Horseback combat

I'm not sure if this has been discussed recently but what if horse back archery/combat could be implemented? Nothing complex, only light/ heavy attacks allowed? Perhaps giving some incentive to rely on it such as a slight damage increase for first hit or when the horse in sprinting to simulate stronger force struck due to momentum?
The horse takes damage as usual and so the player would still fall when hit with a strong enough blow.

This came across my mind many times.. as why the heck I am not able to shoot my bow while trotting on horseback. What's up, ZOS?! Forget nothing complex.. I want some damages done, firing from a moving war machine!1 -
Madness1✭✭✭I think it's been mentioned before (though don't quote me on that), they said the engine wasn't capable of it without some major tweaking. It's basically the same reason we won't see flying mounts. I'm not surprised it's not in the game though, I don't think other ES games have had that feature. Also imagine such a thing in Cyro? The current combat system + fast mount movement = way more lag and unbalance. So yeah, don't expect it to come anytime soon, if at all.Edited by Madness1 on February 19, 2017 1:58PMWhat is the color of night?

Dar'Norok✭✭@Madness1 Oh ok I see. Thanks for your insight.. Actually Skyrim does have horseback combat feature, though it was implemented later on and the engine is probably more complex?
Yeah I just got this idea when we had zergs in pvp and dolmen raids in Alik'r... Felt like a Mongolian horde/raid! Only we were not able to fire arrows on horseback XDD.. imagine some fell down being hit but the zerg still moves forward... man that would be like a classic medieval war movie :P
It would not make much difference or make pvp imbalance or anything I think as after you fell down then you would not be able to access your horse until after combat ends, exactly like now and I suppose that is fair.Edited by Dar'Norok on February 19, 2017 2:02PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No thanks. Mounts in this game are already a major let down and pretty annoying due to summoning / dismounting time, the animation when you get kicked off your mount etc.
It only works when your game engine is capable of it (good example: WoW, rather bad example: Lotro).PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It would be cool to have, agreed. Especially if they added lances too for all your jousing needs... and chariots as two-person mount, one driver, one archer/wizard...
But I doubt it will come anytime soon since I expect it would require a LOT of coding to implement. But who knows? Someday perhaps...0 -

✭You want Horse Combat, when there isnt even Horse Races yet, something what they promised long time ago. More than anything I would love to be able to Pimp My Mount, fishing poles, sleeping bags, extra weapons, scrolls, magic books etc, something for everyone.
I would love to see Horse Combat, we just gotta hope one day we will see Fantasy Version of Planetside 2, somehow I cant see it happening here.Edited by Sausage on February 19, 2017 3:05PM0 -
Serjustin19✭✭✭✭✭Hi OP. I suggested it in comments yesterday in the new seige weapon. I fully agree with you OP also. Some really do like the idea. But it be hard to set in stone though.
"I don't think it count as seige. But very effective for ground troops. I want to see mounted combat. Just like our ancestors of old. Used to do. In war time. Long, long ago. For example. Knights and horse back archers. This will be so awesome. For PvP."

AdamBourke✭✭✭✭✭They did it as an update in Skyrim, and it was horribly clumsy.
Still. Better than dragon riding was...PS4 - EU
