rjshae Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) You'd think that a horse would be the preferred mode of transport in a post-apocalyptic environment. But the only mounts I recall were the trader's pack animals. Maybe bicycles then... Edited August 4, 2013 by rjshae "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

I don't think there's any info concerning that in the game, not that I remember at least, but at this point, considering more or less all the Fallout games have depicted a world without horses, it might be better to just keep rolling with it.

But the only mounts I recall were the trader's pack animals. Maybe bicycles then... Horses couldn't survive in the Mojave in reality without human intervention and the investment of significant resources and logistics of the kind nonexistent in a post-apocalyptic world. It's not like any Vault had records on how to tame and train wild horses (assuming they still exist in the Fallout universe, or at least the general region of the southwest, which is unlikely given the fact that it's mostly desert.) A horse can't subsist on Death Valley borax and the most parched Earth in the US. "Mounts," as a term and general concept, can stay in World of Warcraft. All of this is disregarding the combination of iffy Gamebryo engine mechanics and the fact that the game world in NV is far too small to justify a motor vehicle. The car in Fallout 2 worked because the region was full scale (the F3 and NV maps are basically scale models, you sure as hell can't see the Appalachians from anywhere in DC, Maryland or the Eastern half of Virginia,) and even by Highwayman it took days to traverse distances that take a couple of hours at most in reality with paved roads. And the idea of bicycle travel is just silly. Mountain/offroad biking isn't more energy efficient than walking, and it would leave you more vulnerable to attack. A cyclist can't outrun a car moving 2-3x as fast, how can a cyclist outrun bullets travelling 50-100x as fast? Walking is the most efficient form of transportation for humans, both in reality and in fiction, unless humans in fiction are powered by jet fuel. The NCR's railroads are honestly the most believable rapid/long distance transportation solution given the setting.

Agiel Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Wonder how much effort would be required to import the horse-riding code and Deadly Reflex mounted combat mod from Oblivion into New Vegas, that way I can say this to Vulpes on meeting him in Nipton while mounted on a steed with a Cold Single Action in one hand and a lever-action carbine in the other: "I aim to kill you in one minute! Or see you hang at Camp Golf at Chief Hanlon's convenience! Which'll it be?" Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to remember to buy the horse armour DLC before you do that though. 2 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
