Fallout 4: 10 Outrageous Rumours That Won't Happen
7. Horses
There are some prognosticators whose views about Fallout 3s sluggish travel led them to establish this rumour, clearly like us dissatisfied with many fans belief that the next Fallout title will feature cars. These Wastelanders predicted that Fallout 4 will have its characters travelling on horseback based on the fact that horses played such an important role in travelling in both Skyrim and Oblivion. Others have gone a step further and suggested that a setting-appropriate flourish by Bethesda would be to include mutated horses as usable mounts. Though this sounds like a fun concept, we are unconvinced that Bethesda would introduce horses as a means of travel. They worked well in Skyrim but the issue is the nature of Fallouts combat much like in WWI, horses would quickly get cut down by ranged warfare. An encounter with just one raider with an automatic weapon would surely result in the tragic death of Fallout 4s rumoured steed. Just because they did it in Skyrim shouldnt be cause to believe that Bethesdas next radiation-clogged epic should have horses. One rumoured alternative to horses and cars which has been gathering momentum online and seems far more plausible is that the playable character will use a dirt bike to get around. This seems to provide a happy medium between horses and cars.
