First of all. what an awessome game consept. and i am realy exited about this game.
second. exuse my english, not my main language.
i would like to sugest mounts for this vast open world. this could add new gameplay, mounted swordsmen. and rangers? I have read that pack mules are to be implemented. but mounts would be awessome. for example a mounted wagon ect.
I would also like to se a "public" transportation system. somthing like elderscrolls morrowind. or maby a system where you dodnt instaload to another location but more like minecraft where you actually have to ride the system to its destination and can enjoy the view on the way.
Any thougts on this?
Thnx.

Horses n Stuff for Mounting fights sounds quite nice, but its a desert-like environment, so i dont really like the idea. Pack mules or Working Bulls for towing Wagons sound good cuz those are both Animals that are quite sturdy and useful, but Mounting horses or anything like that would be quite unrealistic in a Desert-World with not so much Water and Food, cuz they are not nearly as useful as the other mentioned animals -
So: I Like the idea of "Working Animals" and something like slow caravan Wagons or stuff - but no fast mounts or Mounted fight please :O

i agree to some extent. but horses are fairly common in Arabia & the middle east. So its not that unrealistic. as far as there is oasis within the desert. i dont like camels.. so pls dont make me ride one. lol
Did by the way se that this has been sugested before. sry for the dobel request.

I will add that the world isn't going to stay completely desert for long. I believe Chris mentioned the environment will be more varied, and there is, in fact, a mention in-game - one of the stats mentions it - of swimming, so I assume there will be water in the game.

Camels and Llamas or alien animals that resemble them should be used. They are more exotic and camels are more ideal for desert travel.
If there will be other terrain types thats very cool but I still want to see animals similar to llamas in this game. That will just push it over the top.

Chris has stated already: there will be no mounts or transports whatsoever.

With the exception of some kind of pack animal. Which may or may not have 6 legs.

Well, maybe someone can mod them in for those of us who are interested.

You do understand that Kenshi will not be limited to a desert?
Even then, camels are good too.

This isn't entirely true. In a interview he said specifically that he wants to add beasts of burden, like donkeys, oxen or something of that sort.
Edit: sorry I didn't see this stated above :/
