devinpatterson Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Illyism has been awesome and is allowing me to port his rideable creatures mod;http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3330 The whole idea of a mount is something I'v wanted in new vegas since it came out and I'm pretty excited about the whole idea. But since I'm a beginner/newbie I'd like to see if there are any players willing to beta test the mod once I get started. I'm also wondering what people think of a new skill tree for riding. I haven't really worked the details yet, but here are a few ideas. Lower skill or no skill will impact how fast you can go and if you are thrown very often. Higher skill would allow you to get a slightly higher max speed for you mount, allow weapon use (if possible to implement in teh mod) while mounted, possibly reduce damage when falling from your mount (if for instance your mount is killed while riding) and allow some trick stunts. I understand a new skill tree would be a big commitment (we only have so many points to go around), but having a mount could be a huge advantage tactically and there should be some trade off for that advantage. Plus riding at breakneck speeds on a mount over rough terrain does take skill and coordination (I'v done it myself, it's challenging-at least it was for me), much less actually shooting while mounted. Much like the way weapon drift reduces with weapon skill level, the bouncing while riding would reduce with riding skill level. Higher skill could also allow tighter maneuvering, like cutting, which would translate to faster turn speeds in game while mounted. Any feedback (and beta testers) is appreciated. Oh and I'll make an option for those that own fallout 3 to have Yao Guai mounts in new vegas (so much better than riding a brahmin).

devinpatterson Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 SoggyWaffle: I really have no idea, I'm just a beginer/newbie so it's difficult for me to judge but I am really amped about teh idea and am using whatever free time I have to work on it. Ye is the DIRTY dream of modder player Horse mod combined with RTS,Enclave Commander and other funny modsusing horses for mount,pack mules for caravans, replace brahmins with cows and oxes and bighorner with sheeps(like merinos)GOOD OL' FARM... Yep I would love to have a horse it would be awesome. I was actually messaging Invalidfate about this and he conveyed that we need a talented rigger for a new skeleton since no one can use resources from oblivion for fallout mods. So if anyone with some talent steps up and is willing to do the work we could have horses pretty quick. In the meantime the rideable creatures port should allow;* Brahmin* Yao Guai (if you own fallout 3)* Ant Soldier* Centaur* Ant Queenand I imagine it will be trivial to add a bighorner as well.
