I've been asking my friends and the majority of them said yeah for sure. I do agree, since it is shown in the trailer a flying hovercraft. My guess is that you'll be able to fly it, or something similar to that.

I think we'll be able to have a car or bike in the game because of the ability to ride horses in skyrim. The engine they're using this time around is capable of much more so the possibility is greater.

Horses would be cool as a starter ride, then maybe graduate to a really crappy homemade dirt bike. After everything is gathered it would be cool to make a mad max style car to run, even if it didn't have weapons and a flamethrowing guitar player.

If there should be one vehicle in Fallout 4 I want it to be a sidecar bike, It would be cool to drive it and have the dog on the passenger seat with his tongue out waving with the wind

Unfortunately, horses are extinct in the Fallout universe, according to Chris Avellone.

I honestly don't want vehicles in Fallout, aside from maybe one or two Vertibird rides. If there were vehicles, they would need to scarcely (read: basically never) be in working condition. Even with that, who would know how to drive at that point in time?

I'm not sure I want vehicles either. I mean, flying/driving around in the XRE Vertibird and Car mods is fun, but I dunno. *shrugs* I won't be upset either way, but I don't think they fit that well into Fallout. Could be wrong though!

I want vehicles for fallout 4 but not outright available from the start. I would want for the players to work on it since almost every piece of technology were destroyed from the war. Maybe scavenging for parts until it gets into working condition and finding fuel. Much like Mad Max.

I want a vertibird to be in Fallout 4, It would be awesome to cart around in the air with one of them, Plus, If you could throw an emblem on there or pile more than one person in at a time, It would be golden.

Hmm i say that we include a crappy Dirt bike, Van, and a Truck or a tanker nothing like fast like a BMW or Lambo because think about it why would you have a super fast and expensive car after 300 years? Why dirt bikes or vans well to make it hard how about you buy it from the start as a piece of junk and it will be expensive. After that you can upgrade it like add reactive armour, A HMG and you would have a option to craft it or buy it. If you craft it then it is in crappy condition but it is cheaper if you buy it it is in better condition but expensive and you would have to look after it like you're tire could pop off or you're fuel could run out so i say yes for vehicles but make it hard to obtain it and that you need to be pretty lucky to own one.

by the looks of the trailer I say that you would be able to drive or fly and what not

Its probably going to be like the "dragon flying" from skyrim.

You will be able to board it, and choose a destination, but not actually drive it yourself.

I would say that this is very possible. if you look back to fallout one and two there are many working vehicles. the Brotherhood of Steel has working military Humvees. besides vertebirds are all around, it would just be about scavenging the right parts make your own vehicle

I feel like I missed something in the trailer, I didn't see anything suggesting drivable vehicles. Can somebody point me to the moment in the trailer where this is (ideally the time in the trailer it shows up)?

Although I'd like to see this feature, I doubt they will let you drive cars.

It's supposed to be post apocalyptic and i'd imagine that kind of takes away from the original feel.

Also, the land has been torn apart compared to Skyrim, the roads and lands have countless obstacles (in previous games), I don't think it'd be possible to have a smooth a ride as you do in Skyrim with all the pre-war ruined cars and detroyed buildings littering the broken roads and lands.

And if you can have a Car, realistically what would stop other people in the wasteland having cars? and that would just complicate things I'd imagine. (everyone cruising around in Lamborghinis )

There's a vertibird in the video, but they've been in the games since fallout 2. It's easier to implement a vertibird into a game because it can just fly over the terrain, and they're supposed to be rarities. It shows you're able to be a passenger, not that you can fly it.

This is only my opinion, although I agree being able to do this would be sweet!

I think a Motorbike would be more appropriate/fantastic

I agree with you. The earth has gone to shite and there is rubble everywhere. Even if you can make a car run, you wouldn't be able to drive far because there are no roads, or they have been so torn apart thet you can't use them.

Personally I woudn't implement any vehicle what so ever, it just takes the whole explore feeling out of the game.

As it may be that the roads are torn up and fallen apart lets not forget about ATV's, Bikes, Jeeps, Four wheelers. All of those can handle rough terrain and climb over obstacles. Implementing a vehicle into Fallout 4 could very easily happen. Plus with the Fallout NV mod XRE cars, which ran just fine and worked surprisingly well with the state of the given roads, its not to easy to write off the idea and demand for some sort of vehicle. Not to mention maybe being able to fly a vertibird which in the trailer you see yourself flying off in one manning a gun. I think if the vanilla game doesn't come out with some sort of ground vehicle then it will be modded soon after because there are plenty of people out there who want to ride around the wastes on an ATV I know I would enjoy it. And imagine being able to customize your ride out with the ingame crafting/building system they already have in it. An ATV with two laser rifles mounted at the front and side mounted missile launchers and a flame thrower on the back sounds pretty cool to me.

Edit: As for obstacles if you can't climb it you might be able to clear and scrap it with the new crafting system they put in so eventually you could build your roads back up.

Another good point, how did I miss that off

The modding communities for Fallout are huge, perhaps because of this Bethesda are more likely to be willing to leave out vehicles in case of criticism (it's a big change), knowing if it is such a desired concept, it will be conjured up on the nexus etc. I think adding vehicles would be too much of a gamble in Bethesda's eyes, but I could be wrong, I'm literally just guessing and assuming

But Bethesda may also want to help modders and create a base model type of vehicle in the game already. Basically I am saying that they might make a vehicle but have not be ride-able. Leaving it up to modders to make that vehicle ride-able. But just as well a modder could make their own models and use them too.

With everything though I think if Bethesda would put vehicles in the game it wouldn't be a risk because left down to it, it's your choice if you want to ride it around or not. I mean you could get it and sell it for a load of caps if you want.

@liljonesy04

True, although I personally don't know if i'd like the temptation

I mean, I love exploring, but I'd be so tempted to just drive if I could, but I'd feel guilty, a drive of shame, just crying onto the steering wheel listening to johnny guitar on the radio
