So what happens to your companions when you get on your mount? Do they also get on their specific mounts and follow you? Or do they do the old school SNES JRPG tactic of magically merging inside your body (or disappearing) while you ride your mount and just magically reappear when you dismount?

 

If it is the latter, then that is really sad for a 2014 "next gen" title as it would really ruin much of the immersion.  

 

 

Thoughts?

Would be cool if they rode beside you.

Protip: If it comes out 8 year old hardware(360,Ps3) as well as  (Ps4,XBONE,PC) then it never had a chance of being "next-gen" in the first place.

 

Also I think they just disappear into hammerspace.

You put them in your pocket Doraemon style. 

 

I watched the Witcher 3 vid earlier where Geralt is riding alongside 3 or 4 people, but bare in mind DA:I is cross gen not next gen.

If this ends up being like other games with mounts, I kind of expect my companions to run at an extremely brisk pace right next to my mounted Inquisitor - which will probably result in some Wile E. Coyote-like moments.

I only know that if they disappear I'm not going to use mounts for 90% of be game.

Not to mention people have been using the "next gen" and X year card for years now. It is a rather meaningless phrase.

 

I watched the Witcher 3 vid earlier where Geralt is riding alongside 3 or 4 people, but bare in mind DA:I is cross gen not next gen. 

And that part of the video could have easily been the "fabled" horse racing they mentioned.

I'm hoping they go RDR style and have them follow you on their own horse.

One of the things I could never get along with in Oblivion was having to dismount and fight every time. In the end it was just less effort to walk. DA:I has no mounted combat, so it comes down to how the encounters are placed.

I would just throw a rope around them all and take them for a drag

My guess would be that they disappear into the ether until you hit a cutscene or get off your mount. I'm not particularly keen on the whole mount thing myself, so I'll more than likely stay on foot and use fast travel when needed, should the latter option be available.

They get stored in your saddlebags of holding. Or a Tardis brand backpack or something.

Because the game length is similar to DA:O I get the impression its a lot of empty space to ride across so they can say the world is XX times bigger and stuff. Rather than really adding anything to the game.

They use their green hand and shrink them to small pocket size person and put them their pocket and unshrink them when they unmount. The hand being used for more than just closing fades portals. This is just a joke though. :D

Oh god I hope they don't just disappear. That would suck.

I want them to have their own mounts, doubly so for Iron Bull and Varric.

If Iron Bull is in the party the other 2 companions can ride on him :P

I hope they're sensible enough to design the game so that this doesn't mean missing out on companion comments.  That's annoying in SWtOR

True, but on the other hand you could hear squad comments while in the Mako.

I can just picture Varric riding an extra-large Mabari.  Iron Bull should have a mabari-drawn chariot as envisioned by Oghren in Awakening.

Yeah, but the Mako was a 4 person vehicle, so it made sense

 

Maybe they should all ride in a wagon pulled behind you.

Unfortunately that may be the case which is sad for a 2014 AAA game to still be resorting to SNES level tactics regarding companions during travel.

Bog Unicorn pulling a corpse cart?

Red Hart Halla pulling an aravel?

 

I like.
