Enemies have almost perfect aim.
Usually most of the time I come across Bowmen, they always hit me. This includes running to the side, up close and personal, and even when they cant see me. It's kind'of annoying, since the only way to have them miss is when you're on horseback or dodging. I know you can block their attacks, but what if you're fighting more than two or three enemies with bows and someone uses fire arrows?

Try dodging or blocking then. There are also shields that give you increased protection from ranged attacks, try using one of those
I use predator bow while on the horse. When you aim it kills your horse momentum which is the downside but you are still moving and once the bow lets loose you slow down time until the arrow lands a mark. Use the slow time to your advantage to hit them first before they can even aim at you. Also If predator bow isn't your thing, Try to stick to congested combat that blocks line of sight. In cities and towns,places with lots of buildings and obstacles. Even better on a horse that's moving in any direction but straight. If your horse meets an unfortunate end, you use those assassin parkour skills to jump from roof to roof, using ceilings as cover to take pot shots at archer calv. Relocate to avoid melee pursuit,rinse and repeat. This is what i do.

You can duck out of the way of incoming arrows or spears.

I just dodge left-right, frequently and lunge forward with spacebar... rarely get hit now. Just keep moving.. if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge an arrow.. Oh wait, wrong movie. :-P

hahaha, nice. Oh, I thought you meant ducking out of the way while on horseback. Yeah, I move and lunge while in on-foot combat with enemies and it does help a lot.

No, I get pwned on horseback so I dismount and fight like a devil on foot with a spear and hide behind my horse/camel or whatever terrain is available nearby. I still have yet to master horseback combat.

I too do realise the game is really easy. The only times I died was once from jumping off a ledge, and a few due to using a cursed weapon and getting shot by fire arrows or catching on fire.

Easy when using only close combat? I have a huge doubt.

I'm looking on solution on managing enemies arrows when you are on horse and dodging seems crap, past a level. Im' starting suspect it will be only with long range, like the predator bow kordulus suggestion. Annoying because I don't use target lock and I have doubt on such suggestion without console target lock.

bro, you're necroing a nearly 5 year old thread. I also never said only using close combat. Anyways, from beating the game four years ago, I'd say use bow on horseback against archers, or dismount and find buildings/cover to kill them from. If you have a hard time steering a horse while aiming, try to use the auto-pilot feature.
