The team at Bethesda Game Studios is excited to announce another new feature making its way into Skyrim… Mounted Combat!

In fact, by opting into the latest Steam Beta Update, PC users can check out the feature today. As far as release on other platforms, we’ll let you know when we have more information.

Thanks again to all our fans, we remain committed to supporting the game through our free updates, mod tools, and more. And yes, we’re still working on our first add-on, Dawnguard – some great stuff to show you soon, stay tuned!

Magic unless your on the PC has never been what it should be. Granted that's because a game has to remain balanced, but in a world where magic is used, magic trumps EVERYTHING or it should.

Even after all this time I still real a bit jaded that magic got cut down so much. Just give me a table to craft my own spells and and a fraking UNLOCK SPELL and most will be forgiven...

Man speaks truth. Though if you want a game with a fun magic system I sugest Two Worlds 2. Have a looksee.

Right now it's in Beta Update so it does not automatically download and install via Steam. If you want the patch before its out of Beta follow these steps:

If you’d like to download the 1.6 Beta Update on Steam, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Log into Steam
Click on Steam in the upper menu
Select Settings
Under the Account tab, go to the Beta Participation section and select Change.
A drop down menu will appear. Select Skyrim Beta.
Select OK.
Steam will now restart. After Steam restarts, Skyrim will be updated to the Beta version currently available.

If you opt into the Beta, be sure to back up your saved games or simply be careful not to overwrite your existing saves. If you decide to opt out of the beta program, your old saves will still work with the current release of Skyrim on Steam (v 1.5).

If you decide you don’t want to run the Beta anymore, redo steps 1 – 4. At the drop down, select NONE – Opt out of all beta programs. Let Steam restart, and Skyrim will automatically update itself back to the latest released version.

To provide feedback on the beta update, use our beta forum.

I hope that helped. I don't have Skyrim on the PC so I don't use Steam all that much...well only use it to play Morrowind and its not like there are anymore patches for that lol.
