will driveable vehicles be good in new vegas : Fallout: New Vegas

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 8:30 pm

like cars and the bomber but like driveable being programmed into the game

Maybe a motorcycle, but pointless once you've found most of the locations in the game and can fast travel to them.

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:45 pm

Its completely pointless because it doesnt even take that long to travel to locations plus you got fast traveling...

Oh yeah, we could have Grand Theft Vegas, and drive-by's! :shakehead:

The Kings would use many drive-bys on people in their cadillacs just 'cos "the wind ruined my hair, now you gonna pay". :tongue:

I dread to think how much the engine would suffer if vehicles were added.

What's gonna happen here is a mod will stroll along soon and direct you to the FO:4 suggestions thread in Community Discussion or possibly move this to the DLC section. As all the DLCs are basically done, I suspect they'll ask you to take this up in CD. I would link you to an appropriate thread there, but I'm too busy playing ping pong at the moment. :wink_smile:

No, map is too small. It worked in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics because the maps covered multiple states, so vehicles were practical.

Its a shame that New Vegas was on gambryo or else it would have been cool to have the actual city be much bigger and have restored cars driving around on the strip.

I don't think vehicles would work very well. But I wouldn't mind a Horse, so I can really feel like a cowboy in the Mojave :smile:

Last I checked horses are extinct so it wouldn't make sense at all.

That would be awesome because for me the biggest let down of the game was New Vegas itself.

Motorbikes or dune buggies would have been kinda cool..
We do have fast travel though, I guess the vehicles would be of more use to the harcore mode players?

Node-based map with 8-12 PL-sized explorable sandbox-based nodes with fully explorable special and random encounters for Fallout 4 :spotted owl:

Not if time was an issue. That's one of the chief disappointments that I have with FO3 & NV, is that unlike the rest of the series, these games are basically timeless.

Wait a minute though... How often do any of us drive out of state? Most locations that I drive to are within 5 - 10 miles.

I see no problem (beyond the technical), of having a drivable vehicle in these games.

(In fact... I can show you what it could look like, though granted, this is not a polished and complete mod ~yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7nxZUeAe0w )

I doubt if the current game area even spans more than one mile.

I don't really know, but it sure feels like it does... Feels like two just to Green Springs from the NCR outpost.

Oh come now, that couldn't have been more than a few hundred yards.

Hey, Giz, you gotta finish that mod. I'm about to start working on a mod to put the golf course at Camp Golf back in shape. Now if I can just find that texture for burmuda grass...............

Where is green springs? I feel kinda dumb now, I've really overplayed nv recently but still can't think of where the hell that is :cryvaultboy:

Shows you how much I've played New Vegas :lol:

(Even though I do like the game.)

*I always confuse Goodsprings for Green Springs ~and have to look it up.

Actually no they'e not. There are some NCR troops using them in the comic that came with the Collector's edition IIRC.

Transport of some type would be nice, just for the fun of it. I'd love dearly to fix up one of those bikes rusting away outside the saloon in goodsprings.
But cars would be.. excessive, I think. It would wreck the whole apocalyptic feel of the game.

» Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:41 pm

It's a terrible idea and not to mention that if an Enemy hits you enough on the vehicle that it will explode killing you in the process.
