I was thinking about some mode of transport that would fit with the theme of New Vegas and I thought, "why not a Big Horn you can ride?". After all, Oblivion had horses, and it's the same engine, so how hard would it be to do?

Also, since the map of NV is very much based around highways, I would think this would add a lot to exploration. Does anyone want to tackle this?

There was a rideable animal mod in Fallout 3 but despite being fun for a few minutes it definitely wasn't something you would want to use regularly. Not to mention that it didn't actually look like you were riding the animal, but were just standing in the center of the animal, partially inside it's body, as the animal walked for you. I don't know if it could work out better in New Vegas though.

I did put this on another thread, but in the GECK is a marker called "horsemarker". I don't remember it being in the FO3 GECK, so maybe Obsidian plan to implement mounts at some point. It may just be a hangover from the Oblivion Construction Set, but I find that unlikely.

I -would- love to see a ridable Bighorner... or hell... a Brahmin would be nice!

The real problem comes NOT in making the creatures ridable, usually, as much as it comes from making the player actually LOOK like they're riding an animal. The previous mention of mountable creatures in FO3 being my primary example.

One can hope, at any rate.

I'd rather ride a motorcycle...

A mountable Cazador would be awesome. You could fly around and sting your enemies to death! :rock:

Bighorners are cool too.
