I wish horses had some bonus equipment slots

[Sky Sweeper]

I feel like if I'm on horseback, I should be able to have two extra pieces of equipment to be around the front of the saddle. Extra arrows, weapons in scabbards - only limit I would put is spears and maybe javelins, given they are long-weapons. if you want a spear it should be on your person. But swords/maces/axes? sure. and extra ammo should be a no brainer.

Not demanding this, but just suggesting it for a future addition down the road, or even a mod if someone knew how to do that.

This is a great idea! If you have a horse you should at least be able to keep a bow or sword sheathed. For balance just have a slightly longer animation to retrieve it. For the archer in all M&B games you always were stuck with one bow, 2 quivers, and then a sword or a shield but not both. So 2-H Sword or lance was best option, or grab a sword or shield when needed if you really wanted to 1-H (I loved the 2H myself). Since 2H is so nerfed in Bannerlord, and since sword and board is so much better (shields almost never break and provide good coverage) a 2H is not really an attractive option, but it's awkward trying to grab a spare shield.

There is a perk, which might not be functioning, that lets you choose between extra arrows or thrown weapons when starting a battle mounted.

I know but I'm talking about actual equipment. This has nothing to do with the perk.

Horse only weapon slot for my Lance? Yes please.

I was actually thinking this myself! For maximum realism, my dream situation is to see two or three extra lances on a horse and the possibility for lances to get stuck or break. If nothing else, storing our lances via saddle would look much less ridiculous than having them stick four feet above our backs while we ride.

I was actually kind of thinking the opposite of this. It doesn't seem feasible to me for there to be multiple lances within reach on a horse, but having a sword and shield in arms reach seems more believeable, or extra arrow quivers. But I'm not against it.

Yes !

Either that, or adding a special slot for bolts and arrows. I love using bows, swords, shields and spears, so it's too bad I can't use all four in the same game (that takes hours and hours to finish).

well to be fair to your last point, the game isn't supposed to be one you finish a campaign in a few hours... it's an RPG, you're supposed to take a few days at the least.

Personally, I wish you could have a Couched Lance "equipped" on your horse. That way, you're not stuck with a relatively useless weapon when dismounted. Would allow characters to carry Bow + Arrow + Melee + Shield or a similar combination.

The perks are intended to reflect those equipment slots. The horse is carrying them, your bags aren't magically larger.

Okay, so explain the ones for on-foot then? And how is 3 extra arrows the same as another bag of 20?

[The Ohio Question]

Tis a fine idea, even if it was restricted to say high level armor/saddles. Would make perfect sense to, heck i think one of the loading screens shows off a cav unit with a bunch of extra arrows dangling off its side.

Let's contact Bethesda and get them to implement some sort of new horse armour.
They MAY try to charge us for it, though.

I have been thinking this very thing for a few years now while following Bannerlord. That, or at the very least allow us to bring some pack horses into the battle that can hold extra ammo. A single packhorse that spawns wherever you start, doesn't move, but has 4 slots to hold ammo for you, or extra set of weapons, or an extra shield and something to switch to for the a little bit of extra tactical depth in battles for your character.
