Quote from the Wiki: "Some Equidae appear to have survived the great war and only lived for a short time,becoming extinct in just under a century onwards. One such case is Pugsley,a donkey owned by a man named Irwin who was killed when is ranch was attacked by raiders around 2161"

That quote is based on what Chris Avellone said, and what he said was specifically regarding California. There's never been anything in-game that says that horses are extinct.

 

Also, it doesn't make any sense that a farmer would keep a pack animal if they were so weakened by the bombs when there are brahmin around. Unless that pack animal was not as weakened by the bombs as everyone thinks.

Well, personally, I don't think in a world like the Fallout universe that it is impossible for any horses to still exist, mutated or otherwise. The world isnt likely even remotely explored given the state of it and the state of the inhabitants, I would think itd be possible to find wild horses in remote areas possibly.

But, if not and you wanted to stay lore friendly, I think turning a Rad-stag into a mount is reasonable. They already get pretty good size, perhaps a domesticated breed could get larger, and be used as patrol animals, farm animals etc. *shrug*

I think an idea of some kind of pet mount isnt bad at all.

If all horses are dead, then lets ride on radstags, yao guai or even big molerats! :laugh:

The idea with a motorcycle or even a car (like FO2) would be interesting, too.

Or, alternative, some mod that makes your powerarmor (much) faster.

All in all, in my opinion, its not really needed, but i guess it would be fun, at least.

I think faster Power Armour would ruin the feel of it,and it would make it really hard to control in fights if you really were to make it that much faster.It would turn from a tank into a racing car.And Cars would be too big to be driven in the suburbs.So,only Motorcycles and animals.I don't think Molerats could support a fully grown human,especially one decked out in armour and weapons,while still retaining enough speed to be faster than said human.And I don't see a Yao Guai being taimed.

Honestly,what would you rather have in the apocalypse where food and water are (somewhat) hard to come by?A horse that needs rest,food and water and can (and probably will) get injured or a motorcycle that only needs fuel and maybe repairs? I know what I would take.

Horses would've been more fitting in New Vegas but I don't think we'll ever get official mounted animals. Animals would be a much better choice in fallout 4 than vehicles however. There's already a mod that (I believe) that allows you fast travel with a motorcycle but it just teleports around and you don't actually ride it, that seems to be the only real interest in motorcycles so far.

 

The map was not designed for vehicles so I doubt motorcycles would ever really work that well even if someone did make it work by cobbling together some animations and scripts.

Still a horse. Because there's not exactly Highway Maintenance anymore...

 

Maybe an ATV would be better than a motorcycle.

 

Or maybe one of these Darpa Robot things.http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/53c97b356bb3f7146b86591e/15-astounding-technologies-darpa-is-creating-right-now.jpg
