I’m doing a project. A special project.
For this project I’d need to whip up both Legion and NCR cavalry. I’ve found the above fan art with some wonderfully horrible mutated and two headed horses. To me this look is appropriate, despite the strong implications from FNV writers that neither side used horses (going so far as to call their inclusion in ‘All Roads’ a mistake).
However if you saw troops from either side on mutant horses would your initial reaction be that it felt appropriate or not. Would the vibes be off?
I figure a horse, while disfigured, is still a horse. Could play them by the same setup for ghouls: they can live long lives, maintain relative intelligence, but also succumb to going feral.
Plus you could include alt mounts via experiments from Vault whatever. There could be something like a giant horned lizard that shoots caustic blood from its eyes.
