mounted combat?

is there any news on mounted combat? anyways I had an idea along the lines of grand theft auto garage (except a stable) where you can "store" you're horse and customize it to your liking buy armor for it upgrade skills such as acceleration, stamina, strength, health , ram abilities, and maneuverability, I think this would be a great addition to the elder scrolls game! answers? comments? post below !

There is no mounted combat.

Mounts will be similar to any other mmo. So you have to summon your horse using a channeled ability(its about 3 seconds in WoW) which will automatically mount you and when you you an attack ability it will dismount you or you can click on the mount ability again to dismount. When you dismount your horse disappears. You can only use your mount when your not in combat. I can 99.9% guarantee you it will be like this.

Also you can buy a starter mount around lvl 20 for most game which is 60% increased speed and about 10-20 levels before level cap you can buy a mount that is 100% increased speed.

so there's not mounted combat just mounts..... man that sucks

Don't be so quick to judge! In many areas, they went a very new direction from other MMOs. Even though it would make sense to have them in a certain way, I would leave every possibility open until we see some kind of interview or real evidence supporting one idea or another.

At this point many aspects have absolutely no official info. Mounts and mounted combat are one of those aspects.

My motto for this stage of development: Speculation and hopes are good, hard assumptions are bad.

As he said he isn't 100% sure what is going to happen with the mounts. One good aspect of Zenimax is they know how to keep their mouths shut. I have only seen that there will be mounts in TESO. I was unable to dig up further information (if you have please send me a link to the area you found it in).

I want to ride a giant and have him demolish things... he can be my blaster!

I get the sudden feeling that I fit my avatar picture quite well.

Will you be my Blaster?

Negotiators and mediators don't make good blasters, sorry. A giant would suit that roll much better than I would. Let me know how asking a giant to ride on its shoulders goes for you. XD

All i would need is a Mammoth and the job is done.

Piggy back ride is off limits?

If you were small enough to ride on my back without me caring, you're also small enough by khajiit ideals to potentially make a tasty snack.

Great passive aggressive answer, sir.

Made me laugh :P
