Mounts of the Commonwealth

If the topic didn't make it clear enough.

The idea of having a car in fallout has been around for a long time.

The idea of having a motorcycle in fallout is cool and is already being worked on.

Now the problem I have is the roads are messed up and there are places that a bike just won't go.

 

As far as lore goes, it seems much more likely to me that people would have caught and tamed animals over the last 100 years to act as mounts.

 

My personal suggestions would be radstags, yao guai, and death claws.

Thought it would be interesting to see mirelurks as sea mounts, a sled pulled by mongrels or a team of mole rats lol.

 

The point is that before machines, and after machines, the popular mode of transport: animals.

 

Honestly at this point I'm a bit suprised that no one has done this yet.

Treat the mount like a companion, they "stay" when you aren't on them, and have a companion whistle to call them to run to you when needed.

Trained to stay alive, even the deathclaw runs from combat.

Saddlebags so your mount can carry another 100-200 pounds of gear.

Allows you to "run" or "sprint" as long as you don't have more than 300 pounds on you.

Not allowed "indoors" the mounts are for traveling from location to location in survival or as a replacement for fast travel.

The movement animation would basically stay the same, treat it like power armor but you "run" faster and "sprint" say x2 or x3 faster depending on the mount.

 

I'm not a modder, if anyone picks up this project it is they who will go down in history as an amazing mod maker.

I'm just happy to share concepts and bounce ideas around.

I second this! Now just for the sake of if it would be possible or not, Can't somebody theoretically "port" the skyrim mount animations and stuff? I'm not saying that's what someone should do I'm just genuinely curious if it would be possible.
