I just saw this and thought I'd share with everyone.

I've already had it for like 3 hours, btw mounted combat SUCKS

The update appears to increase likelihood of a game crash. Several of my friends on Xbox live who are partying with me all have had crashes.

Oh no really? What's wrong with it?

That's not good! And this is after they've updated to the 1.6 patch?

Yeah... They were all using mounted combat at the time, so it might be something to do with using that.

Shoot! It sounds like they are going to have to patch up the new patch! This is disapointing. Does the mounted combat work ok? Someone posted that it really sucks? What do you think?

Personally, I like it. It's new, and it adds an aspect of realism to the game. It also allows for better Role-Play, in my opinion. I sometimes make characters and give them lives within Skyrim, just general people. I made a Hunter not long ago, and I get Breezebane and go out every few days to kill stuff. I think that it helps me catch Deer and Elk and other things that flee faster than I can shoot off a second arrow.

I just tried it out for a quick moment and it worked very well. Very fluid. Once I finish this quest, I'm heading to the plains outside of Whiterun and doing some hunting while on horseback.

Time for an I'm on a horse music video

Sweet! I can't wait till I get off work tonight! Some other people are saying that it has caused their console to crash but you didn't have any problems?

It is kinda wonky with anything but the bow. The enemy sometimes isn't in your camera angle and you have to guess whether to swing right or left, and which direction to move your horse. Might require some camera angle adjustments and just practice. I love how it works with the bow though and so far no problems as far as freezing.

Sweet! Thanks Jersey! I appreciate the update. I was getting worried about what some of the other people were saying about it not working very well. They're probably just not be patient enough to figure everything out. Did you sign up for the beta test for Dawnguard? I'm hoping a get chosen for that. I really don't want to wait until the 26th if I don't have to lol! Thanks Jersy!

I hope I get the beta, I don't have the money right now to afford Dawnguard and getting it early and for free would really make my month.

Mounted combat with the crossbow looks amazing

I hear you there Jersey! I'm hoping for the same thing. I can't wait till I get off work, today is really dragging by so slowly!

How does it suck? i mean what were you expecting? horse mounted rocket pods and bunghole lasers? the combat seems pretty solid to me only problem for me is sometimes it freezes for a second right before i hit the enemy

CROSSBOW? Did they add the crossbow to this patch as well?

No lol.
