And I still think horses would fit prefectly in Fallout. It's the lone wanderer feel, you and your horse. It's the cowboy feel, you and your horse. It's the WW1 feel, you (as an NCR trooper) and your horse (also gasmasks). It feels so perfect, and granted that the NCR are clearly based on WW1 doughboys, they fit really good upon a horse. And it's also because of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD75cLjvRwA it feels so right, although the movie almost made me throw up with the over-the-top patriotism (then call me a horse for not being able to vomit!)

I dont think I am disagreeing with this, or Styles is disagreeing with this, we both have concluded that since horses cannot vomit, that radiation sickenss would kill them.

However I think we both agree that if they could find a logical reason for them to eb re-introduced to America then ti would be perfectly fine. For example there could eb horses all across Asia. Perhaps they suirvived in New Zealand, and with a nuclear winter the oceans in the East Indies dried up or got svcked up into Ice adn the horses there where able to cross a land bridge to Asia. From there they may spread out all across the Old World and perhaps they make it to N.America via a land bridge in the Beiring Strait. The Nuclear Winter re-creates a land bridge in Alaska and Russia and horses are able to cross this and re-introduce themselves in 2350 for example, whcih may be the date of a latter FO game where the engine ahs the capability to handle riding horsers.

Is it wrong that I wanted to make Veronica ride a Giddyup Buttercup?

what about ghoul horses? i mean look a bramen, they got rads to hell and back, still around if the horses did the same thing it would not be a big "oh wow!" would it?

If there are no horses, why is there a horned kangaroo, skeleton it may be but still a horned kangaroo in the US.

Voted No...
I have no issue with mounts, but it seems strange to re-introduce a species that hasn't been in the series thus far...
That being said, I really wanted to find one of the children's toys that we saw advertised in Fallout 3 load screens... And mounted brahmin/bighorners would be fun to see.

What about all the other new creatures that gets introduced then? Bighorners? There were no Bighorners in the eastern California or Nevada in Fallout 2, not any Cazadors.
There are loads of other creatures aswell. Why are there no albino radscoprions or bloatflies in California? You'd think flies would be everywhere. The same with wasps, there are wasps in the midwest, Fallout Tactics, but nowhere else in USA? NCR's got a two-headed bear on their flag, yet there are no two-headed bears in Fallout, just one-headed bears but they are on the east coast. There are loads of food made of iguana, but no iguanas.
There also seem to be no giant rats on the east coast, nor spore plants or mantises. Are they uncommon, pre-war, in that area.

Now, I would think it'd be weird if there'd be a game taking place near the areas we've already seen and it'd include horses, and people acting like they've always been there. Sure. Even if I think NCR troopers riding horses would be a perfect fit, including them in a later game like it's always been this way but we haven't seen it before would be stupid. That's why the game could take place some place further away from where we've been, and there could be horses. The horses wouldn't be the strangers in this area, you would. Maybe all the horses migrated north because post-war climate got too hot and praires became deserts, and they didn't like that. You come to a place where people are used to horses, just like you come to D.C. and people know about bears. Or Nevada, and people know about Bighorners. Doesn't that make sense? New creatures are included with every new game, but horses are a big no-no?

New creatures are new creatures.... Horses are not... So while I would be opposed to "Vanilla" horses (mmmm... vanilla horses), I would NOT be opposed to the introduction of some previously unknown species that hadn't previously existed in the universe, but remain opposed to the re-introduction of Pre-War (or real critters) that have been established to be extinct.... So, that means: Real horses, irradiated or otherwise do NOT fit in the established universe, but Vanilla Horses (Four-legged mounts made from mutated strands of Vanilla Bean DNA mixing with mountain goats or cloned ponies) would be acceptable.

Now... Even with that, anything previously established to be extinct, obsolete, or lost in the Universe is fully acceptable to re-introduce assuming an appropriate explanation is provided in game. For example: Horses are introduced in the next Fallout title, used in a setting we haven't seen or had explained previously, and explained through the use of SCIENCE! ala Jurassic Park- Horse DNA had been captured and catalogued PRE-WAR, and scientists in the post-apoc are finally able to produce viable clones for mounts/meat/domestication/etc.

At least, in my opinion, for as much as it counts.

Well I'll just have to add some cloning vats to my Fan-faction in that case, how about a Dude ranch with seman samples for prime racehorses kept in a still running refrigerator in the basemant? Better get typing seeing now the whole St. George's Day/Easter Cay/Royal Wedding break is now behind us.... :user:

No, especially if it was like the horses from TES 4.
