Has anyone noticed that when you run into an enemy (knocking them down) and your horse rears up, your enemy (who is in full armor) laying on the ground can get up and swing their weapon at you before you regain control of your horse?
Also, if I am amongst a group of footsoldiers while on my horse and it rears, isn't it odd that the footsoldiers have no fear of getting trampled? I mean, wouldn't they instinctively step back?
Also, isn't it odd, that I can go from Mach 5.2 to 0 simply by rearing my horse? Maybe I should be thrown from the saddle?
Also, isn't it odd that my horse will jump down a 100ft cliff every time, crippling itself. You'd think a horse would refuse the jump AT LEAST ONCE
Also, if I hit a horseback enemy (or I get hit) square in the chest with a jousting lance or other blunt impliment of destruction, shouldn't there be a chance that the rider gets thrown from the horse?
Finally, horses that lose their riders, instead of them magically disappearing... maybe they should simply run off... Also can anyone tell me why sometimes the horse disappears and other times it doesn't? I'm thinking that maybe your ally horses don't disappear, enemy ones do? Any thoughts? Oh, one more, if you happen to take a new horse in battle, where does it go afterward? You should be able to keep it (maybe make it "stubborn" because you aren't the original owner). Oh, here's an idea... maybe all horses should start out stubborn and based on your riding skill, they get "unstubborn" The higher the skill, the faster this happens!
Sorry to ramble... maybe some of this should go in suggestions, but I'm in a rush, so sorry!
