Fallout: London Devs Scrapped Rideable Horses and Bikes

In a recent interview, the developers of Fallout: London revealed they had to abandon plans for rideable horses and bicycles in the mod due to significant bugs. The horses, known as Sleipnir, were designed but could not perform as intended, often flying up buildings due to the game engine's limitations, similar to past issues seen in Skyrim. Project manager Dean Carter explained that the challenges posed by the detailed, cluttered environment of London made it impossible to keep the horses grounded. Additionally, while there was a push for a rideable bicycle, feedback led the team to attempt implementation, but ultimately they decided to scrap the idea due to similar issues. Players can still enjoy the unique aesthetic of these features, even without the ability to ride them.

Rideable horses were removed from Fallout: London because they encountered severe gameplay issues causing them to behave erratically, like flying up buildings and scaling obstacles, which the engine could not handle effectively within the game's intricately designed environment.

Fallout: London is a mod for Fallout 4 that offers a reimagined post-apocalyptic version of London. It introduces a variety of new features and quests while maintaining the core mechanics that fans of the series enjoy. The development team, Team FOLON, is focused on enhancing the experience with future updates, including the notable Wild Card questline, continuing the legacy of one of the most beloved RPG franchises.
