I cursed and flailed quite a bit a first, but once I got the timing down, I find myself using mounted combat a lot. I have a few spawn mods that can makes tough for me on foot, but I find that I am enjoying these long, drawn out, hit and run attacks. I'll run down the road a ways, turn and drawn my bow. I'll get two shots off before pulling a two hander, which I try to use on one of the enemies that took at arrow, and finish him off. Then I'll draw my one hander and get a couple of quick swings in while turning to ride back out again. I'll repeat this process until I'm down to the last one or two. I have a horse mod that allows fast dismount and weapon draw in one motion, so then I'll ride into while springing from the back of the horse with my two hander. I'll get me kill cams and ride away bloody and satisfied. Good stuff. I wish there were mounted combat kill cams. Maybe a future update.
