Topic: New Skyrim Patch!

Adds in Mounted Combat!

Still in beta, it can be weird - one video shows a player shooting arrows at one NPC, and killing the NPC five feet behind the first.

Still, I'm surprised that they added it - I assumed it would end up being modded in eventually, but to have it becoming official? that owns.

Also makes me hope the first expansion (Dawnguard) is going to be nice, because if they add awesome shit in minor patches, I HOPE that their big content updates add even more.

I only used a horse for maybe 10 minutes out of my entire forty plus hour adventure, and only then because I got it as part of a quest.

I don't recall wanting to kill anything while on it.

I would do it if you could charge with a spear or lance and insta-kill something.

Yeah... horses were interesting until I went in to combat, and my horse got killed.

I bought another horse. That one got killed.

I got Frost from the quest, and set him to essential after he got killed.

So yeah, not really dreaming of MOUNTED KOMBAT!

I don't remember much outdoor combat, except the zOMG DRAGON!!! every two steps that just got annoying after, like, the first one.

I just got a mod that allows me to summon a mount, it disappears whenever you engage in combat. I wonder how well casting would work while mounted though.

You know, I said that to friends about the fact that I built a house in minecraft in a swamp area.

None of them laughed. I think I need to replace them.

You should consider getting the 'dragon souls to perks' mod.

It's balanced and it changes the game so that you're actually actively LOOKING for dragons and hoping they'll appear out of the clouds. It's amazing how when you don't want them around, they're everywhere; when you want to kill them, they seem like they don't appear often enough...

I'm strictly XBox for my gaming, these days. I got tired of the constant upgrading to play games. That, and my console is connected to the projector, so I get a huge screen to play on and my full home theater for sound.

I'm sorry

You're missing out on such amazing stuff. The cloaks of skyrim mod is amazing, Armed to the Teeth just plain rules, dragon souls to perks makes dragons actually something you look forward to. Invisible helmets lets you actually see the character customization you've done without breaking perks.

The sound mods are great, atl east the dungeon one is (I don't like the 'wilds' one much). Dragonbone weapons are balanced and look great, and give you something to use all the dragon bones and scales you've gotten once you've made your nice armor.

If you had to choose any one multi-platform game that is clearly, unambiguously, vastly superior in it's PC incarnation, Skyrim is it.

I actually agree I'm probably missing out on some bells and whistles, but a the end of the day, 120" screen pretty much trumps everything else.

Yeah, but moving my office into the TV room would suck more than a little. And what's good for gaming isn't useful for work. Surfing the 'net on the big screen would just give me a crick in my neck.

I've got the beta patch on my PC. The MOUNTED KOMBAT ain't much.... you use the left button to swing to the left side, right button to swing to the right.

You still can't cast on a horse (I would have loved to be able to use Clairvoyance on a horse) and maneuvering the horse is still like trying to do three point turns with a shopping cart with a busted wheel.

Eh. I hate horses IRL, so for me part of the fun of Skyrim is running a horse off a cliff and listening to that death-squeal they do.
