Two Worlds Tuesday #3

IGN has published their third Two Worlds Tuesday feature, this time covering melee, missile, and mounted combat.

Unlike Oblivion, you will be able to fight from horseback in Two Worlds. Battling from the saddle can be tricky, and will likely take a little getting used to, but once you have the controls down, the advantages of doing so become clear.

Whether you’re using a melee weapon or a bow, attacking from the back of a beast allows you to make quick entries and retreats to and from combat. Nothing beats charging into a group of orcs with your sword held high. Also, if you’ve invested some points into your Riding skill, you’ll get the added benefit of dealing extra damage when you’re battling non-mounted opponents. Just watch out for those wielding a spear and using the Unseat skill. They’ll knock you off your horse and flat on your back!
