Fallout: The Frontier - Done, and it's a hilarious shitshow

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
What are your opinions on New California? Also I figure after the Frontier fiasco and Nexus fucking modders up for pennies (why not use anything else you dumb fuckers?) modding in NV is done for.
I tried New Californa and I digged it... when I was in the vault.
When you got out, the game was really barebone and became boring as shit.
The story went from passable to become trash (hey New Vegas modder, you don't need to make your protaganist the damn Courier before he came to New Vegas. There is no need), but unlike the froniter, no cubporn.

It's alright, but suffers from being too ambitious and WAY too many combat sections as the game goes on. As someone who actually kept contact with the devs during it's development they basically said they were hoping more people would join to help them in certain areas, but no one ever did or they did and left not long after. It was basically a two man show the entire time, and by the end they just wanted to get it done so that they could work on an ACTUAL game they wanted to do.
Also as other people said, there is some pretty lore breaking stuff (they made a bunch of Chinese army descendants Samurai larpers because they thought the aesthetic was cool) but I would say story is passable up until the end. Really my only gripe was how people were trying to convince everyone it was better than modern Fallouts, when it suffers from a lot of the same problems.
And yeah NV modding is kind of dying. After that New Mexico mod comes out (which I am cautiously optimistic about) I don't see many more BIG mods coming out. Not just cause of those reasons, but I feel everything that can be done has been done to the point there are probably multiple mods that do the same thing.

eh, unless the TTW team crashes and burns suddenly (somewhat probable because its staffed by dangerhairs and its lead is a boomer who doesnt entirely follow dangerhair dogma) then thats probably gonna be the only other NV mod going around, lots of the engine fixes are done by people who arent spergs though, so those will continue trucking along untill the creators die from old age or get bored
 
Sorry for double-post, but i stumbled on some somewhat juicy autism, The Frontier Rework is more or less even more dead than i suspected, the main code monkey, Xilandro, has sperged out and left the rework team for good, apparently

With that, the only real updates in the frontier discord are the following

Xilandro, the ex code lead, apparently got some insider frontier discord screenies leaked to him, too


Lol, LMAO

Dead rework

You know every time I think about this stupid mod, I can't help but agree with the name of one of the trailers.



The Quick appearance of the outside of the space station section still makes me laugh a bit.

And is it just me or, is blackthorn very old in this trailer. I am going insane or does he look like he in his 70-80's? While in game he looks way younger?

the top comment really sums it up "This turned from Bethesda’s Black Mesa to its “Hunt Down the Freeman”"

Wait? Xilandro just barely left? I thought he left a while ago and even said the mod was cancelled on Discord before they reiterated they just kicked them off the team. Either way, both parties come off as idiots imo.

A truer statement could have not been said. Seriously. The Frontier will forever be a monument of what NOT to do in a mod. Like I have noticed most "DLC" mods that are being made constantly reiterate that they WON'T be like The Frontier and seem to do basic background checks.
As a side note, does anyone know what happened to Devils Wish? The guy who was largely responsible for this shit show? Last I saw he took down some recent videos of Frontier stuff once it became apparent he was the guy who wrote the NCR stuff and basically held the project hostage.

The Frontier is a gift that keeps on giving. Amazing how incompetent they run their mod

Allow me to raise this thread from the dead one last time for this masterpiece.
Its a ok video kinda ruined by the fact he didnt play through most of the game, so he was unable to properly describe the hell it is to play.

True. But probably gonna be one of the final times a video is made about this game that people will give a shit about. Like already (just look at the previous post before I shared it) people have moved in and rightfully forgotten about this mod outside of having it be the punchline to a joke. Even IF that NCR rewrite ever happens, I doubt it will get as much coverage as the original release caused.
 
REWORK IS NOW KILL

TOTAL SNEEDCLAVE VICTORY

Good.

The mod is a real pain to play with how boring the first part is ( up till you launch off to the space station ) then it just becomes too unintentionally funny.
Realistically 4 years is too little time anyway. And for what? Making the whole thing feel as boring as the first part of the NCR campaign? I am happy they dropped it,

If they really wanted to make it enjoyable play up the wacky angle while still trying to keep it as deadpan and straight as possible.

Enclave have a out of place space station with a orbital lazer, and a evil insane German scientist? Hell yeah, now all they needed to do was improve it by making the zeta aliens start attacking it because we have already gone far pass the point caring about lore less then a hour into the NCR campaign , let's just do and show cool shit.
