Why can't I draw my gun normally during a cougar attack?

[killedinaction47]

I'm on PC and normally if I hold down right-click then press left-click it will automatically draw my main sidearm. However whenever a cougar is nearby this action is disabled...... I have to use TAB to select a weapon then try to target.

You don't have a problem drawing your weapon when under a cougar attack?

I would never let a cougar come near me, nevertheless, sometimes I can't aim because my horse is near me, so I though that's the reason why you can't draw your gun out.

Sound reasoning, but unfortunately not the case in this instance.

The inability to aim because a horse is near is such a pointless and frustrating mechanic, often game breaking. Here I am, I have a loaded gun in my hands, can't shoot because there's a horse nearby wtf!
If a player shoots his own horse so be it, he deserves to ride in shame to the nearest stables on an old nag, but ruining a hunt or a mission or simply not allowing a player to defend himself is idiotic, whoever thought it was a good idea to put that in the game needs shooting.

I miss Red Dead Redemption where you could shoot your own horse if you wanted to. Then skin it and sell the pelt.

Sometimes your horse deserves a bullet

Sometimes the horse context menu distance is surprisingly and annoyingly large.

And it even triggers with other horses, including wild ones.

There are game events and behaviors that change your key controls - like cant whistle - cant draw weapons - etc.

The behavior near your horse changes key controls - and access to menus is sometimes restricted.

The worst example of this is when the game decides what my weapon load out is going to be - swapping my pistols, and rifles, etc.

Never mind when my horse decides riding in a straight line is no longer the right thing to do, and turns around a couple times during a chase scene.

Some very odd behaviors
