Other mounts than just horses?

[Ocean Rain]

What about existing creatures? Tiger as a mount in Conan world would be cool I think.

And maybe the option for really terrible other skins, like leggy long-face tigers and crocodiles that are way too tall and tailless.. The humor alone could fuel me for months.

Good idea man. I always liked Arabians.

Mounts why there is only horses..

2 reasons..

1)mounts meant only for fast transport... Simple scripting and animations.

2) if any other animal is used there would be a need for more advanced scripting for mount attacks ie elephant trunk swings or trampling, tiger mauling and leaping,wolf leaping and mauling,etc you get the picture.. basicly any abilites the animals have for knocking players down they would need to keep and thats more work then the devs are willing to put into it..

Yeah, I am trying to think of any instance in the Conan books or movies where someone is riding something other than a horse or camel. I suppose camels and possibly elephants would fit well into this game and are realistic as well as stick to lore, but riding Tigers, Snakes and other stuff,...

I don't know about the rest of you, I feel it is kind of comedically embarrassing, kind of like the D&D game that you play where the DM is a pre teen that gives you a platinum dragon mount at level 5, and you are like, ummm, I have some yard work to do, we can play later,...that kind of cringy.

Rhinos seem like they'd be a reasonable mount. I mean, if they can be harnessed and loaded with chests like the Turanian DLC skin, then riding them should be possible.

Tigers and wolves not so much, their spines aren't designed for that.

Yeah, I guess Rhinos would fit the mounts meme, especially if they are able to be used as pack animals. But the aforementioned other stuff, would be kind of cheesy.

I mean, a lot is shared with the Age of Conan game, and guess what? In that you have elephants and rhinos and tigers as mounts, besides horses and camels. Did they add more, add wolves? I stopped playing the MMO a long while ago.

To be fair tho, the AOC tiger mounts were much larger compared to the Exiles tigers (going by character model sizes). If they added those in later, they would surely have to be size adjusted a bit. Or you would ride them very differently (like laying across/"humping" their backs to distribute weight).

Where is the love for hyenas :C
Always wanted to ride one with a darfari armor on.
They also stated its moddable so modders will be able to add different animals if they have the animation.

[CoolINaturrBoy]

hope we get to see more different animal mounts in future

Announced by Funcom at this point there are just horses.

This thread has a link to a developer stream recap:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/440900/discussions/0/1660069015235910494/

The recap is mostly about the horses, but also about the thrall changes I think. There are also combat changes.

This feels like a huge change to how the game will be played.

I like to play with a mod that allows three followers. Since the horse counts as a follower, you would need to have that mod if you also want a thrall and your horse with you.

So happy with this, no need for goofy mounts.

camels and eles are not goofy and already in game... I'm sure they'll add them as mounts later next year.

Elephants for mounts would also be great and realistic.
