MarshyMan Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 All I want...is to ride a dragon. They could leave mounts out ENTIRELY if I could just ride a dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ita Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It wouldn't make much sense to be able to ride a dragon if the dragons are supposed to be the main adversaries in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaskas Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 In the last podcast at gameinformer Todd talked about mounts, thanks god they are not aiming for dragon mounts. Horses are WIP, they want them may not be included in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlasa Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 In a recent pod cast with Todd Howard (today), game informer is told that there would never be dragon mounts and the bethesda team was working with horse mounts. Howard wasnt happy with the way horses felt in Oblivion and is looking to change how they look and feel, howard said the team was experimenting and if unsuccessful would not implement horses in the game.

Fatalmasterpiece Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Thank you Todd. The last thing we need is some silly flying dragon mount. Looks like he has a really good view point. It would be better to not have them at all if full features (cargo, mounted archery and combat, fixed following) are not present. In Oblivion is was just a waste of resources.

AltreU Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) After thinking about it, I thought about what would go through a dragons mind if you tried mounting it out of nowhere. Red dragon: "What the f..... oh no. No you don't buddy, get the f**k off-right now! Don't make me tell you twice, I will eat you! That's what I thought. What the hell were you thinking? I'm not a horse, stupid. How would you like it if I just jumped on your back, huh?" D&D dragons are no joke. It's Dungeons & Dragons. I just Googled Dungeons & Dragons Red Dragon and found this on the first page: http://chaosgrenade.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Evil-Red-Dragon.jpg That look like a pansy dragon to you?

Fayvion Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I agree the horses were a bit awkward in oblivion. But without them would be a far worse option. I could deal without dragon mounts but horses are a key element. Carriages would be awesome to travel in, or raid some fat cat merchant's caravan. Â But i know what you mean, shooting arrows from horse back just makes sence to me. Â More of everything is always good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjohnanthonyjames Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think they do need to add some sort of mounted combat even if it is only basic melee or drive-by style archery so at least they have something to build on in the future and because otherwise the horses are pointless due to fast travelPerhaps adding an arena like section of jousting tournaments that runs in different cities at various stages could work entering lesser tournaments allows u too build up skill and prestige to enter championship tourneys etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamcakes Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I would love to have a bear companion who follows me and fights alongside me, and ride him when I'm really injured and can't walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovahkiin187 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I KNOW ONE THING'S FOR SURE! Bethesda was really impressed by the total conversion game DUNE, IT HAD A DINOSAUR LOOKING MOUNT! I'M SURE THEY HAVE many, many, many more surprises in store for us. I can for sure garauntee there will be horses. Judging by the reaction of horses in the first game they will most certainly be overhauled (in terms of movement) using the new HAVOK added in.
