All the bugs and issues are nice talk, but there is a HUGE issue, that REALLY needs answering:
Who on earth thought it was a good idea not to have ANY option at all, at patting pebbles, or giving it a treat; tickle a dog’s ears etc.
Consequences be damned, it doesn’t have to do anything, but i DEMAND to be able to show affection to my beloved mount and all those other cute animals.
It doesn’t have to do anything in the game, no effect whatsoever, but it is VITAL to my personal mental well being, to get cuddly with animals…
