Though it may have more minor annoyances, I really only have two major problems with M&B's combat system. It needs bashing and charging.
By bashing I mean the ability to use *anything* in your hand to deal your opponent a stunning blow. The fact that you can't punch in M&B can be infuriating, especially when fighting shielded enemies as you can't get past them. Perhaps this could be implemented as a kind of third attack option. It wouldn't do too much damage, mainly for stunning so that you can hit them.
Charging. Moving in M&B is rather cumbersome. If you lose your horse or get off you move at the speed of a granny jogging, even with high athletic skills. This isn't entirely a big deal, but seeing people power-walk into combat is pretty stupid. You should be able move at some ungodly speed and have a kind of trample bonus, like a horse. Not much damage, maybe 4-8, and you would have a stamina bar that would have to re-fill all the way before you could do it again. It would also be cool to have a weapon set to this, I.E. you charge with sword in air and slam into someone and stun them and then cleave them.
Let me know what you think.
