One thing I REALLY want? A working MOTORCYCLE!

Whenever I see one of those broken motorcycles on the side of the road, I think on how much I'd like to take it with me to Sanctuary and try and fix it, scraping parts of other ones I find around till I can make it work again and take it for a ride...

Not only a motorcycle, really, tho it'd be really awesome if I could fix, craft and modify one for me and another for my companion (or companions, after we can have more than 1 following us), probably at the power armor station, to cover big distances fast. It'd be awesome if we could build and fly our own, personal, vertibird, have a skateboard or a bicycle, ride a two or three-headed horse or many other kinds of simple vehicle and rideable animals and I know a lot of people are already thinking about that but waiting for the GECK for it, but, how much would be possible without the GECK? Is it possible to make at least one ground vehicle without it?

It'd also be awesome, after the GECK comes out, to have a few dynamic encounters where, at any place of the map, a group of Riding Raiders could pass by and surround us if they see us just as if they where some kind of criminal Hell's Angels! Or to meet one of our minuteman going around on top of his horse to help a group of people that were captured by raiders up ahead and we can help him on this dynamic quest.

There could be other types of bikes too as well... poorer people (both player and npc) without the resources to build a motorcycle would have a bicycle instead. And if you had the resources, you could easily turn that bicycle into a verison of a motorcycle over time. maybe?

 

and maybe cars too. Trading carvans all have this slow two-headed cow, which is just... eh. What if the more richer traders were able to have the resources to drive a type of truck with crates full of goodies on the back? they would be the one with the most rare stuff for sale, while the ones with two-headed cows had regular everyday stuff.

 

There was this mod in New Vegas that I really loved, where they had trucks and cars that was hobbled together from spare parts and looked like it. Basically it looked a lot like the vehciles from Mad Max: Fury road.

vehicles, there are motorcycles, many cars, military vehicles as well . . . . perhaps training simulators to learn repair skills for vehicles? Perhaps found at military instillations, vaults, service stations ? have the repair ability, mods set up like armor and weapon skill tree. . . . perhaps the training simulators would need repair as well, create quest to fufill the parts for not only the training simulators but the vehicles as well, perhaps have factories restored to get needed components over time perhaps? your thoughts?

I like the idea of crafting, repairing and in finding the pieces or even lucking out and finding a good vehicle in good conditions. The idea of the repairing your vehicle as it would get damaged if you're attacked by hostiles while traveling is not only good but necessary.

Which brings to mind, wouldn't it be interesting to equip your vehicle with weapons you control or maybe even put an automatic turret attached to it? Maybe be able to use weapons and fight while still travelling or your companion as a passenger attacking while you drive/pilot?

Not only it creates a kind of emotional attachment to your vehicle to find the parts, build it up, do maintenance and generally take good care of it, it's interesting to think of fighting inside it, your companion as a passenger fighting to protect you or even having their own vehicle you assigned, following you, and it being actually helpful to keep you alive but possibly killing you if it explodes while you're still inside creates a whole new dimension to the game, and that is just talking about ground vehicles. There still air-crafts, boats, submarines and multi-environment vehicles like a hover craft that could be used for both ground and as a boat, of course, not forgetting the simple skateboards and roller-skates that you can take inside your inventory.
I mean, the concept of vehicles is REALLY big for a game like this and creates a completely new level of depth, fitting perfectly but almost turning it into a completely new game.

Going over some old postings of mine to check the ones I believe to be most awesome and ask the community if it is possible or if it already exists. Does anyone know?
The ones I'm commenting on are the ones I actually wanted the most when I was playing. I really wish to see at least one of these to have become a reality, and if even one does, I will make a clean install of the game just to check it out.

I believe there were a few vehicle-projects...

I saw a mama-murphy motorized chair,

driveable Securitron,

and driving forklift...

as well as a fast-travel mod for the Vault-Tec van etc.

 

I may have seen it featured on

Petard, Tyrannicon or EvilViking13 'best of' series...

 

I think if this is not a mod,

then it oughta be;

who wouldn't want to have a fusion-core powered bike?

 

My mod fu and code-fu for FO4 is not great,

so I cannot aid to make it as such...

 

hopefully we find a way to have this realized?

Hope so >< the lone wanderer was one hell of an Easter Egg and whenever I saw that bike somewhere, I wanted to take it back to base and fix it =/ someone has to do it, specially if we are able to fire from on top of it and have riding battles, like hell's angels and horse back riders raiders, horses for followers and things like that. It is one of the things that always seemed lacking to me, inside the game.
