I want vehicles, What about you? Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

It only makes sense to implement vehicles, if the areas of the game are setup to accommodate them. That being said, I hope the game is setup to allow for vehicles or transports of some kind. Lots of possibilities here I think, from mutant animal things, salvaged cars and perhaps even weird technological walkers.

Ehhh... I could maybe see vehicles being used like the Highwayman. Or even a Train. But driving around in real time? Doesn't sound too Fallouty.

there's already been a topic about this and the best thing that came up was caravans i think..

edit: wait.. that was for fast travel :p no cars or anything like that for driving around. anyway, search the forums first

caravans were in fallout 1 n 2 and i missed them from fallout 3 , they added a great twist to it , defending caravans from ppl was allways a good way for caps n transport

i think this should return definitely

I think they should add multiple examples of transportation and Vehicles. But, like everyone else, I too think that making you drive them manually is a bad idea.

I think they should add multiple types of transportation. None drives manually and the cost, speed and dangers of the transport could depend on the type of transportation. Like the previosly mentioned caravans could even make you caps by protecting them old-school style.

Then there could be something like flying. Speedy, safe, but pricey. Then your luck-attribute could include a possibility of accidents. Gas is out or some other way of stopping you dead on your tracks or forcing you to do a mission.

well the bos has zeplins according to tactics so air transport would be possible if thats considered cannon for fool

lol, i did, but i dont have the patients to look at all the 100 or so search results... thnx anyway Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

and also the other one talks about transportation in general, while this one is more about the vehicles themselves... And you can't really say driving in real-time isn't fallouty, because the original ones where made before the ability to put in real time.. anything . also i hope that there are caravans, cause i always loved protecting them in the original games.

I want vehicles to be included only if we can fight in them. Like we could in FOT. Coop raid in a vehicles would be pretty cool. But if vehicles are included only for transport, then Nahh forget it. "War. War never changes."

Yea, i hope that we can fight in our vehicles, though i would still like them if we couldn't fight in them Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

And pimp them up with skulls (human, supermutant, deathclaw, etc), chains, spikes, etc...Put a plow in front, blades on the weels, etc... "War. War never changes."

Helllz yeah!! I also hope we can design our own vehicles (chaise, engine, wheel type, weapons, addons (skulls ect.) and paint types!) Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

i also hope you can have multi-person vehicles Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

having vehicles that you can fight in would throw the game in an unbalanced situation, especially if it will include pvp.
but a transportation system would be needed. taxi subways railways balloons.
Players do not want to spend half a day to travel from point a to point b

Vechicles could be a type of mount that is more expensive to have but is also faster. You would also need to repair it after using it for a while.

If the game is going to be primarily open-world, vehicles of some kind would definitely be a good inclusion. Sure walking everywhere may be viable of course, but faster forms of travel would be nice as well.

Having vehicles be one of the craftables in-game could be interesting certainly. Multi-person vehicles are also a nifty idea, there are a few MMOs upcoming that are implementing something much like this.

As for vehicles and combat... well there is a time and a place for everything. I don't think rolling around in a tank and running over and blasting other players should be something you can do everywhere... unless it is implemented in a really cool way of course.

Big Tank killing you = you get bigger more killyer tank!! Give me an axe and point me towards the caribou, dinners on me.

Or just an antitank weapon.

Or a ton of landmines... or just one guy with a crowbar (or some cutting implement) and a grenade.
