That’s the style I would use in an RPG. Where it’s there and you need to stable it, sort of like RED DEAD. I also like it when you have to take care of it and it can be killed (ark is probably the most recent example i can think of that has this).
My basic mount system is to show people who are having issues or don’t know how to make an actor attach to another/change controller possession from one pawn to another and so on. Another call mount style I like is in final fantasy a realm reborn, the mount comes running toward you and fades in as it does so. These things are all easy to do.
When i have some free time i’ll setup the mount to act like the one in the new metal gear for the little game demo I’m doing with pirates inventory. Thinking about adding parts of my status effects pack to.
