How about mounts?

[KylarXBlint]

I see a lot of people pushing a petition for co-op (which I still think is a silly idea) but how about something kinda useful like horses? It's just a random thought I had. Who knows, they might bring it in a DLC since I didn't see any gameplay with mounts.

Also a silly idea. Weren't those dead horses lying on the ground in the demo...
All the monsters would just kill them and that wouldn't be very pleasant to watch (unless your some kind of twisted freak), we won't be needing mounts; we get our own to feet to get us where we need to go on this one.

I dont think the world is 'that' big to where mounts are needed. And I think another reason they probably didn't look into implimenting a way to have mounts and make them work in the game is... your pawns.

Probably would be hard to have 4 guys mounted up and keeping up with eachother in places where you'd have to go around trees and obstacles sometimes. And it would make it easy for people to just speed past enemies to get to the next town, and avoid the dangers at night by just making a break for it.

I sure as hell wouldn't run full speed on a horse in this game at night. You probably end up jumping off a cliff

I've heard that the world is as big as Oblivion's. That world certainly seemed large enough for horses....

My thought's exactly. Then again it was only a thought. Sure the horses would run around frantic and probably get snatched up by griffins but I thought it would sorta be fun running around the world with your pawns all riding on mounts. I'm sure the devs considered this and bailed on it. I just wanted your guy's opinions

Horses are an interesting idea, unless they do go all "if a hydra eats your mount you lose all the gear you had in it's saddlebags" route.

Maybe pets? Having a wolf follow you along, biting goblins as you stab them in the crotch.......

Found last month's Game Informer mag in my room, had an article in the previews section on DD. There's a mission that involves a cart being pulled by an ox. So, the possibility of mounts is already encoded in the game......hmmmmmmmm............

Well if they add some sort of mount, or way to travel besides what is already known with these warp crystals would be welcome with me.
I'd prefer to travel by horse or hop in a cart to travel rather than do some instant teleportation. It would feel more right. Being able to purchase a ride between towns by some traveling merchant or another would add to the world. And as long as the price is high enough still wouldn't be able to be abused to get out of danger everytime.

Like you said the possibility is there. So far though, I haven't seen anything taking advantage of these possiblities.

That right there would be a spectacular idea! But as with the crystals, wouldn't that fail from being able to take in the scenery around you in a way?
