Bolas?

Something simple to dismount players from horses? Throwing of course, and 1 for 1 on the slots. Just seems that something other than killing the horse or player is in order to dismount people is lacking. No damage, no real repercussion other than dismounting said target.
Common sense is not so common.

A throwing hit usually dismounts people from horses by killing the horse. Sidehits may not, but if they are charging you a single throwing axe will kill all but the toughest horses. No need for the very hard to model bolas.

Might be a nice normal throwing weapon though.

Not ment to be a damage dealer, more of a horse counter for the melee.

I don't consider it a necessary object, and while it'd be a fun addition to gameplay I'd definitely say that it is quite low in the list of things that'd be awesome to have.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
