What do you think about small vehicles being added like a bicycle or even a wagon. The bike you could use as faster transportation and could have a small amount of storage on it. Also on the bike allow the human companions to ride. (Sorry Dogmeat) As for the wagon make it so that it slows you down when pulling it but let it have a lot of storage, somewhere like 400-500. Also if the devs even wanted to, they could make it harder going up a hill and easier going down it. I think that this would add a unique element to the game because with the wagon you can store so much more but you have to keep track of it and pull it around. Another thing that you could do is make it so that you cannot fast travel with the, or only to a settlement to make them a little bulkier.

Personally? No. But, then, I don't use mounts in Oblivion/Skyrim, either. Even ignoring the physics issues of running a wheeled vehicle across the countryside in a Beth game, and the part where constantly mounting & dismounting (due to combat / loot / whatever) would be a pain.... the world isn't really designed around that kind of thing. There's few clear paths, and a game world made with vehicles in mind is generally bigger (more space between things, etc.) Heck, the FO4 map is even smaller, but more densely populated, than previous games.

(I also wonder, given the density & data loading, how well it would work in the first place. I finally ended up on a Vertibird flight across the center of the city, and got my second crash. Even on another try, it was kind of laggy & low-fps. Just so much stuff to load when traveling quickly across these world cells.)

Why not get your strong back perk up to 4 points. You can essentially look without discretion. Lvl 3 use AP to move around freely. Not ideal but doable for looting massive amounts of stuff. Then Fast travel allowed while over encumbered at level 4. I lugged 845 lbs/or units of stuff/junk/ armor back to sanctuary yesterday. Took me longer to clear the location than it did to gather everthing up and travel back. I find that if you have a weapon that performs better out of VATs, eg. something that you only get a shot or two in VATs, but does massive damage (shotgun, assault), just use that and jet to clean house without VATs. IMO

-Good Luck in the Wasteland.

-also, collect everything as you're clearing a location (Killing Everything) and when you get overencumbered, dump everything into the nearest container. Then on your way out you only have to stop at a few container locations to collect.

How are you going to bike in power armor carrying 100 pounds of gear? And though I suppose you could pull a wagon in PA, sure would look stupid

i still think it'd be cool to have pack animals (horses or whatever) and a must would be radiated pack animals like the two headed brahmin and stags. i think they should be a little rare, would be cool to see a group of maybe 4 or 5 raiders with the leader being mounted on a f'ed up lookin horse with some kind of crazy blade and rifle

i'm very iffy on the whole vehicle thing...if they were implemented i think they should be uber rare, emphasizing that rebuilding an actual running vehicle is borderline unicorn difficult

The map is too small for vehicles.

I want a space hopper. I'd look so menacing tearing around the wasteland on one of those bad boys.

Pretty much this. The world is pretty clustered anyways, and moving faster would only make the world feel even more crowded. If they were going to add vehicles they would have to design the world around people using them. I do like the idea of having a pack wagon, or a non combative robot to haul my crap around for me.

Agreed!

I came in to agree about motorcycles
