Horses?

[tomomi1922]

Even though the Skyrim and FO4 engines are very similar, they are NOT the same. If they were, you'd be able to use the Skyrim CK with FO4 ;] Anyway, all the mechanics for mounts 'n all are not present in FO4. So it would be possible to add mounts, but you'd most likely need to scratch build everything. Not sure it's possible yet though, might need to wait for the CK.

 

Technically, it is possible to import a lot from Skyrim, being it is similar engine. But you are talking about adding about 25% into the game's features. Game mechanic wise, FO4 has a decent walk/run FPS/TPS model. An open world model map mixed with instance model (indoor when you have to use load screen to get into is instances, a much smaller sandbox than the open map, not sharing resources). On top, it has the flying model for Vertibird,so technically we may be able to fly one of these in the near future. I didn't finish the game so ... do we ever get to fly them? I don't know. And this Sims like house building mechanic (but Bethesda has far less experience in making a house building sim than The Sims, albeit their game engine is FAR FAR more efficient than The Sims). So that is all there is to this game. And Bethesda paid millions of dollars to develop.

 

So while technically it is possible, in reality, casual game modders do not have access to libaries of resources and support from the "very well paid" development team. Thus, unless we have some extremely talented and knowledgeable modder (who is likely working in the industry), we are unlikely to get a decent horse riding experience. That or Bethesda decides to implement it. But it may be to their own dilemma, because while Fallout 4 has a big map (for running around on feet), it is not that big if you have a horse or motorcycle. I feel even Skyrim has bigger map. I remember it was insane trying to get from 1 end of the map to the other. I had the Gypsie Wagon mod (a horse with a cart) that is a mobile player home with all the crafting stations and storage you ever need. Such wagon will not go with you when you fast travel, so I had to drive it from 1 end to the other.

animation and design is not as complicated as people believe people tend over think things, take brahiman make companion reskin look more horse like use its walking animation want it faster and little more horse like slightly alter the animation then take chair animation alter it as if he was getting onto a horse. and with geck coming out soon itll make it even easier. so people think with your heads and i mean your problem solving part your brain not your

"During a red carpet interview with Red Carpet Report (via GameSpot), "Fallout 4" game director Todd Howard said there will be multiple "Fallout 4" expansion packs, but the company has kept mum on their content. According to Howard, all "Fallout 4" expansions will be shaped by fan feedback."

So. If the community wants horses and motorcycles to be a thing, shout loud enough for it. ;)

I know it takes away the fun of modding it into the game, but it could also save someone a LOT of work.

 

I say VEHICLES/MOUNTS, all in favor say AYE!

Fun fact: The other day i mounted the vertibird from sanctuary to warwick homestead. I ended up phasing right through the mass fusion building at the half-way point. my screen then turned dark and a promt text in my corner read "Please dismount your horse before entering a building" :D Fallout 4 uses the VERY SAME ENGINE as skyrim. So odds are the mechanics (maybe even the models) are already in the engine. So after the GECK comes out it should be a cake-walk. to either find and use the already implemented features or copy past the features from skyrim right back into fallout 4 :P

I hope this will become a mod one day. Even though i think horses might be to stretch it a bit too far. But give me a Brahmin or even a mirelurk! That could be fun :D

"....I hope this will become a mod one day. Even though i think horses might be to stretch it a bit too far. But give me a Brahmin or even a mirelurk! That could be fun :D"

If a dog or a cat can come out unscaved, so can a horse. If a Brahmin can come out (though horribly malformed), so can a horse, right? I don't think it's a stretch too far. And if not that... maybe motorcycles. Parts enough, base models enough for the guys and gals to tinker with.

 

Your Mirelurk remark amused me. I could see a huge, Genghis Khan like structure on wheels pulled by 12 great Mirelurks roll through the harsh planes of the world, 'driven' by a Nomad Raider Tribe.

Kinda like that. ........ Yeah.... my imagination tends to go wild xD

I would love motorcycles too xO More than cars! But i wouldn't mind seeing something like a Horse or horse like creature. :P

(And yes! we need mirelurks as mounts. It's officially a "thing" now)

crazy idea came up to me-

you take the skin of the gillyup bottercup double is size(setscale)

then use the string of dogmeat(for the 4 legs)

and the only thing you need is a way to mount it

the rest is just a copy/paste type of mod
