robhartman9 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) There have been a few threads lamenting the lack of vehicles or mounts. I bought Skyrim quite a while ago but didn't play it because my old computer couldn't handle it well enough to play it. I built a new tower for fallout 4 and played that for 800 hours. I felt like a break so I downloaded Skyrim from my library. WTF? Its the same game engine by the same developer built with older tools. You can buy a horse right off the bat. There are mods for a Sabertooth battlecat mount. Mods to give your companions horses. And the fallout 4 team cant even get the giddy up buttercup to work? WTF? are they just lazy? I haven't got very far in the Skyrim game. I built a wood elf character that I hope can do this. https://youtu.be/Q68jznzAW8Y That's me Rob and my buddy Harvey on my horse Logan I tried it you can in fact shoot your bow while cantering your horse. Now I really want to be able to strap a gatling laser on a lone wanderer Edited February 21, 2016 by robhartman9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPatch Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It is about twice as difficult to program a four-legged creature as it is a two-legged one. Standing upright, the figure has to smoothly interact at the points where the body intersects with the background (underfoot) environment. Moving over uneven terrain gets even more complicated. You may have noticed how often brahmin end up floating above the terrain as they walk around. That's because Bethesda DID give up on making the interactions between animal and terrain. I have no doubt that they sunk A LOT of programming hours into brahmin (as an integral part of the settlement system and Supply chains) and then decided they didn't want to -- or couldn't afford to -- mess with the mechanic any further for mounts. While the basic mechanic for a horse would have been more or less the same for both Skyrim and FO4, the terrain between the two is drastically different. Moving over and around hills and ridges is NOT the same as negotiating a path through a rubble-cluttered environment. Just walking pedestrians through the rubble often gets awkward with characters being supported by just one toe on a broken upright beam. Seeing a horse emphasizes the wrongness of what is being viewed. I have no doubt that Bethesda decided to leave out mounts because they are counting on modders to import Skyrim horses and work out all the kinks.

charwo Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I hope when it comes all the animals get ported, as well as Convenient Horses. Get a real Walking Dead/Last of Us Vibe going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
