That would have been good if they made it reasonable. Mounts are completely immersion breaking... They appear at the worst possible scenes (on/in the table in the tavern), apparently can go in caves, cellars, dungeons, human houses, etc. You want to pass the rock climbing check? Yes, your horse is the best rock climber because of high athletics skill. You want to safely descend down the well? You bet, your horse can do it better than anyone. You want to dig a tunnel? No, not your dwarf companion, don't be silly, it's your horse again. And I don't count bugs. So, I don't think this is a good feature unless reworked completely.

Ha-ha, just keep playing, you'll find them way crazier than anything Larian made.

To be fair, the details of those models are very low res. In BG3 all models are super high res for close ups.

Considering how long and diverse WotR is (200-350 hours for a single playthrough and 10 mythic paths variants), they'll need at least $100 mil budget for that and thousands extra developers, mostly 3D modellers and animators. I'm pretty sure this is possible only if sales were expected to be in dozens of millions.
