Why do Mounted Characters Auto dismount before every new area?

[VersataMeridian]

Getting a bit fed up of getting surprise encounters only to find my mounted characters dismounted when entering an area.
Is this a bug?

There are certain areas you can't be mounted in. Namely your base camp / inn / city. This means any time you go visit it everyone is dismounted.

[Chiatroll]

Yep. it has to be a bug.

You dismount when you camp. Because you don't sleep on your horse.

If you haven't camped since the last time you mounted, or haven't visited your base, you should still be mounted.

[VersataMeridian]

No they're dismounting whether I rest or not

Jesus people this is so easy to fix.

"You camp > ambush? > if yes dismount > if no keep mounted.

In camp/inn > dismount > go out > was the player mounted before entering the inn/camp? > if yes, put him mounted."

That's pretty low on the list of fixes devs should be spending time on. Its not even high on the list of mounted issues devs should be spending time on. Fixing mounted combat is a higher priority than mounted QoL changes.

Meanwhile it takes you about a second to mount up yourself if you set up your formation properly so you're next to your horse.

I agree, i would much prefer them to work on making the cruzade mode not garbage.
Just pointing out it's another oversight and it isn't hard.

Kind of annoying having to remount every area. Hopefully they change that in future patches.

What other Mounted Issues are being referred to? Jeez - I was hoping the actual mechanic works!!!!

[TSAR]

Yes. Please fix.

Charges sometimes bug out in turn based mode. You move like 5 feet and stop, losing your action. The last patch was supposed to fix it, but didn't work. It doesn't happen all the time, but its annoying when it does.

OK, I just got to the Market... just got out of the Inn and running around Kenabres... mounted horse (hunter class) and using bow... As soon as I fire the bow I dismount? Still figuring this out have switched to Melee...

Edit: end of combat - dismount... going to look in settings.
Edit 2: nothing there
Edit 3: Been running this for a while... conclusions can't mount underground (logical) can't stay mounted in city (logical again) won't stay mounted in open terrain (Huh????) yup you auto-dismount at the end of combat no matter what. Using latest game version. 1.3.5e (I think)
