tadcaster Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I have heard that there are no land rovers in Starfield as yet. I think it would be cool to jump in an ATV to explore a planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I agree, but I have fears that the reason why there are no vehicles is the usual one, the problems Gamebyro had and were inherited to creation engine with phisics and world interaction. All the times I have seen a vehicle it looked strange and bugged like the carts in skyrim ... Perhaps a mount could be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxymewmeow Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It would sure be cool to have a cool motorcycle or two, maybe like the electric dirtbike from the film Oblivion. IIRC it was kinda this suitcase bike he takes out of ship storage and it unfurls. Kinda dorky looking but probably pretty realistic to what a space explorer might ride over the surface of a planet around 1 Earth gravity. Coding wise, a motorbike would probably be closer to a mount (horse) than a car/vehichle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbyman1 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 it makes me wonder if some of the working assets for games like skyrim could be ported over, like riding a horse, it could be remodled onto a creature that exists in starfield, but it could function on the existing animals, i know it's possible to port assets from bethesda games so long as it's within the same engine the creation engin which starfield is using. i saw a modder for a dwemer mod for skyrim port over the assets of FO4's vault opening and closing sequence and it worked seamlessly, so it makes me think the skyrim riding horse mechanic could also work for starfield, now there was also a mount mod for smoother travel, you know those whisp things in skyrim, well a modder made a mount mod where you could ride one of these things and it was very smooth, so i'm thinking if the model was reskinned that it could also function like a starwars speeder bike, so if it was fashoned as a rover of some kind, it could look like it hovered, because one thing bethesda games don't do to well is actional functionality like wheels and shocks on the ground, the object will look really dumb and static, so the next best thing is to make the craft a hovering platform. but i believe they could also tweak your jetpack to function more like ironman's jetpack functionality so you could fly everywhere on a planet, it might have to have some kind of threshod for the hight of your flight so you don't end up in space after flying to high but i think that kind of thing is possible.

cubbyman1 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I have heard that there are no land rovers in Starfield as yet. I think it would be cool to jump in an ATV to explore a planet. your right, it will likely look bugged, but if the craft hovered, that issue wouldn't be quite as bad, as i have seen in some old skyrim mount mods, the modder made it so you could ride one of those whisp things and the riding was very smooth, but that whisp could be reskinned to look like a starwars speeder bike and it would function very well. so i'm thinking so long as the land rover looks like a hover craft without wheels it might be able to pull it off without looking too funny and uncanny to the eye.
