Most other creatures I can tolerate, but I really, really wish there was mounted combat. In Oblivion, riding through the wilderness basically consisted of:
>Riding around.
>hear le battle music.
>Wolf attacks horse.
>Get down from horse with an incredibly leisurely animation.
>Kill wolf in one hit, sending it flying thirty feet backwards.
>Recharge weapon with wolf's soul.
>Heal horse.
>Mount horse.
>Repeat step one.
