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

That's actually quite true. And really they should have known what to gate behind Wild Wasteland. Like with the Horny Deathclaw. Normally you should just encounter a very tough Deathclaw boss who does bonus damage to limbs and drops a unique Deathclaw Gauntlet when killed. With Wild Wasteland it's the Horny Deathclaw that cripples limbs who also drops a unique Deathclaw Gauntlet if killed.

I still need to do LR with Wild Wasteland on to snag the Fist of the North Rawr at some point.

Hmm, you know, a lore-friendly way to do that would be with a unique PFist named Polaris with the Latin translation of "You Are Already Dead" engraved on the impact plate. "You Are Already Dead" even sounds like the sort of thing a particularly egotistical Legionary would say anyways.

"iam mortuus es" if Google is to be believed. Has a nice ring to it.

EDIT: attempting to translate back into English comes to "now dead". I'll keep playing around.

EDIT 2: "You are dead" translates to "et mortuus es" and back into "are dead". Google translate is known for being dogshit with Latin, so if anyone has a working knowledge, please speak up.

EDIT 3: "Now you are dead" also goes to the "iam" version. I think that's the closest we're going to get without somebody more qualified.

Why am I even spending so much energy on this tangent?

One good thing about this shitstorm was that it got me to reinstall and play with FNV again. Even started trawling through Nexus for halfway interesting-looking quests to download.

House of Horrors was made by the same guy who did all the technical shit that made Frontier's NCR route possible, and is probably the most well-known horror mod for FNV.

War Never Changes is a combat-heavy questline that isn't pozzed to shit.

Dog City Denver is an interpretation of Denver as intended for Van Buren, and as implied by discussion with the Legate and the Houndmaster.

Honest Hearts Reborn is a complete remake of Honest Hearts made by an actual Mormon.

Rump's Presidential Race is such a titan of political shitposting that the Nexus team specifically chose not to remove it when they banned politics mods.

If you're talking about that huge revolver rifle, it's actually been available as a stand alone mod for Fallout 4 for a few years. I don't know if the mod dev who crated it also worked on Frontier and brought it along with him, or if the dev team for Frontier ask for permission to include it, but with everything that's come out about this mod I wouldn't put it past the Frontier team to have just stolen it. It's actually a pretty fun weapon to play with in FO4 and the guy who created it actually wrote some lore behind it, stating that it was a prototype rifle for soldiers wearing power armor. The mod for it comes with it's own ammo for it, which is a high powered thirty caliber armor piercing round, but if you've got the right perks to upgrade it fully you can switch the caliber to .50 BMG. And it has a second barrel kinda like a LeMatt revolver that is a single shot shotgun that fires as the last round when the cylinder is empty.

Speaking of stolen assets and ripping off other people's designs, I noticed that along with ripping off scenes and dialog from other games and films at least a couple of their weapon designs were largely copied from guns in pop culture. I haven't been able to play the mod myself since I don't have a PC, so I haven't been able to see all the weapons they designed for the mod, but I have been watching a few reviews and play throughs on YouTube and been keeping up with the drama. But during one review I watched I noticed that one of the weapons being used during the Enclave space station part, some energy weapon that I'm assuming was Enclave issue, was basically a copy of the M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens. Like, the barrel and handguard looked different, but the receiver and frame were exactly the same including the large "roll bar" carry handle.

And speaking of the Envlave's Archimedes II space station/super weapon and ripping things off (Death Star, anyone?), they not only ripped off New Vegas with the Archimedes II (the Archimedes orbital laser was an experimental prototype when the bombs fell, but sure, let's have a second bigger version of a prototype that just got around to testing when the world ended), but they ripped off the scene where you have to blast space rocks with a turret until the automated systems reboot from Dead Space, right down to it being a double-barreled turret which can alternate fire between the two barrels or fire them both at the same time, and having an aiming laser beam between the two barrels.

Those are just the severely egregious examples that I personally saw in the videos I've watching about the mod, and I'm sure there are plenty more. I do know about the Satanic pentagram ripped directly from Doom 3 whole cloth.

Oh, and the excuse that the dev team is using now to hand-wave the really fucked up and weird shit in the mod is by saying "that was meant for Wild Wasteland, but it didn't get implemented properly". So not only are they STILL reacting VERY poorly to any and all criticism, but it's obviously clear that they've learned nothing from this whole ordeal. They just keep making excuses, shifting blame, or doing anything to accept responsibility for their fuck-up.

Like you wouldn't even believe the extend of autism something like that would generate. You think regular anime-tards are weird, imagine them starting to learn ancient Japanese to throw death curses at each other while hugging their Sengoku Basara body pillows.

If a character looks underage, is written to talk and behave underage, and the devs have to include some kind of note or whatever in the game to underline just how NOT underage the character is to dodge an online lynch mob, then you may as well assume that the character really IS underage and that the devs are sick-fuck pedophiles. I'm fully in the camp that Zu and the one dev they're blaming for all the writing for the NCR campaign and claiming they wouldn't allow anyone to make any changes are both just scapegoats. This dev team has made it clear for years that they will not tolerate any criticism or "negativity", no matter how constructive it is or how much it behooved them to pay attention. So of course they're going to throw other members to the wolves to keep themselves from being mauled to death.

Mae's character is at least open. America on the other hand isn't and has 'cutsey' quirks and personal problems and behaves in a similar way to that of a teenager. Also "little slave girl".

It's still weird to see someone in a video game below 18 drawing porn and wanting to get fucked the moment she hits 18. I mean, why put that there, if not for the sick fetish kinks you get out of that?
