What's the deal with Fallout The Frontier?
I'm not the best to explain this but it's apparently a 7+ years in the making, mch awaited much hyped Fallout New Vegas mod (Cyberpunk 2077... 2!) Made by several mod authors and shit.
It's set in the frozen hellscape that is Portland, Oregon and adds several new shit that is frankly astounding given the use of the Dated as shit New Vegas Bethesda Engine such as drivable vehicles but at the same time is, like... Ripe with some of the worst examples of shit Bethesda Mods have had over the years, mostly narrative, thematic and plot wise.
Like... Bullet point of common complaints:
1) You can only start by joining up with the NCR side, which isn't the ACTUAL NCR but Deserters that set up the NCR Frontier in Oregon (why are they still called the NCR is beyond me). You can switch sides later but you are railroaded into this at the start.
2) Everyone reacts to you being the "Legendary Courier" or some shit. It's over exaggerated as hell even when it tries to go for the "I don't actually believe you're hot shit" at first with the foot soldiers and all. At the same time, there is some major bootlicking with the main NCR General guy there.
3) There are some... Thinly disguised fetishes added in the mod and no one knows why or how. You find a used condom right at the beginning of the mod. You can fuck a Deathclaw. There is a race of lore breaking snake people (Not argonians, just large snakes with arms) and you can fuck their Queen. You can get a follower who becomes your sex slave by passing 2 speech Checks because she is depressed and has low self esteem. She has also incredibly smelly feet.
4) You start the mod by getting on a truck and moving to Portland with it (Hey you, you're finally awake) and the mod has a liberal use of "cutscenes" or sections of the game where you play as someone else, so you can play the Battle for Helios One from vanilla and commit non canonical war crimes while you're at it, or you get captured by the Not Legion and the Not NCR sends hundreds of soldiers to save your crucified ass because you're the "legendary courier."
5) Most plot points and scenes (AT LEAST in the NCR section) are straight up plagiarized from a random old COD game.
6) Most named NPCs can't be killed outside of the questline.
7) Everyone keeps talking about this "Mormon Brotherhood of Steel from Skyrim" thing so there's that.
8) This one youtuber that does challenge let's plays tried to do a no damage run of it but the mod has LOTS of scripted, unavoidable damage so there's that. The bosses in the space station part of the mod are also pretty frustrating.
9) A couple other videos about this.
10) Oh, and of course, general racism/sexism you'd expect from shit like this and, of course, w*ndig*s being appropriated apparently.
