Dear devs at Taleworlds, please change the fact that you have to halt your horse completely before being able to dismount, it has been a great annoyance of mine in warband, especially in multiplayer, it just takes too long. Moreover, having to look down after having come to a complete stop on your horse and essentially "searching" for where the dismount option shows up is in my opinion rather odd, I would much prefer a dedicated key to press if you want to dismount, so non of this nonsense has to take place. It i just to painstaking when you want to hop off your horse quickly in a battle, in both singleplayer but especially multiplayer. I would suggest you can dismount when your horse is going at a walking pace and a dedicated keybind is added for dismounting.
Cheers
