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

Any new drama? I haven't heard anything about this mod since like a week ago

The sneed settled down pretty fast, the dev team is back at work, and it appears that nobody really cares enough to trawl their Discord for anything utterly fucking retarded. Unless somebody has a massive spergout or they end up hiring another questionable individual to do voice or artwork they purged, there's probably not going to be much more. For all the stupid shit that went on, they seem to have realized what they either shouldn't have put in or gated behind Wild Wasteland, and if they manage to get through replacing the stuff they lost without incident, The Frontier may just be able to go down as a dumb-but-kinda-fun spectacle mod that had a really stupid launch.

EDIT: Yeah, I deserve every rainbow on this earth for that last sentence.

I give em a month before something stupid happens.

The Frontier devs immediately DFE'd and went to ground and they also lucked out with the TNO mod for Hearts of Iron 4 blowing up spectacularly soon after and drawing off all the sneedposters.

Not surprised at all. If you find one sick-fuck snake basking on top of the rock, you'll find a whole nest of them when you flip that rock over. Like calls to like.

Not surprised. America is blatantly intended to be a minor.

Sadly, not all dumpster fires will rage like the Star Wars one did/does. Good times, I might head back since firing Carano most likely added more fuel to the fire.

Anyway, another video shitting on The Frontier because you can't have too many.

 

[unclogged]

Why would they make their own game, when they can shit on the hard work of someone else? People like this aren't particularly creative, beyond their ability to discover new and fascinating ways to be thin-skinned and angry at everything.

because they can't use the "it's just a mod!" excuse when something like this happens

Yeah, I'm gonna need to see a source for this before I believe it fully. Not saying it's not true, but claims like that require evidence. Hell, just a screenshot of the prefixes in the GECK lists would be enough. Better yet would be hosting the pre-release ESM file on a dropbox or drive account so others can see for themselves.
Otherwise if this is just a Source: Trust Me, Guys situation I'm taking it with a metric ton of salt.

I saw it on this video time stamp 1:12

So a screenshot of a claim. I'm gonna have to press X to doubt without further evidence.

to be fair, even if this turns out to be fake, I still refuse to believe that only the one guy was responsible for all the fetish stuff in the mod, take the fuckable Deathclaw as an example, all dialogue options have you fuck it, there is no in-dialogue way to refuse, the devs assumed the player wants to fuck a Deathclaw. And there are a lot more example shown throughout the thread, there is now way a single guy made all of it without the others knowing, especially since while playtesting it they would have come across the fetish stuff, since it is not exactly hidden.

I still have my uncensored version, I'll poke around in the GECK and see if anything interesting pops up. As a kneejerk thing-I-know-for-sure, the game does very briefly feature a child simply named "child slave" that is implied to have been abused (plus an unrelated note that explicitly confirms another child being molested). Given the context, I read it as more of a "wow, these people are bad, you should kill them all" than a "hehe kid bussy"

I’m really hoping this sneedclave “movement” isn’t going to turn into an a-logging reddit crusade because first we had that America foot mesh that ended up being a hoax, we have that image I posted which I can’t for the life of me pin down the website that was posted, there’s someone in the comments of that video saying that TGSPY was friends with multiple cub furry porn artists but proof of that has not been found at all, it’s getting a little out of hand.

Well, I browsed through the AI packages, here's what caught my eye:
(offset and length retained to facilitate others)

It looks like they had some issues with the AI doing stupid things.

Siren is an adult, an NCR medic, actually a nice person despite her neon hair, and one of the characters you choose between in the Wolfenstien scene. She does eventually get around to asking why you chose her, but I haven't confirmed if sexing her gives you the option to say "dat sweet, sweet pucci, tho"

I suspect that ScavSeductress is a woman living in the Junkflea (market town) sewers/slums, who offers to suck your dick for 5 caps. Just telling her to take the money leads to her saying that no, she really does want to suck your dick, at which point I noped out because I've played Metro 2033 and I don't trust cheap sex.

Finally, Valerius has 6 packages that carry the ProjFrontier header instead of TF, which I suspect means that they were early work. I'd be interested in knowing where they're used, if anyone wants to dig into that.

From what I've heard, there was a sizable chunk of the head mods who were either very pervy or had no problems with pervy things. They had been warned about Pedo Skunk several times during development and chose to ignore it. That at least points to one or more influential members high up on the team who hold similar views.

All open world adventure games should have contingencies and lines recorded for outcomes where the player does something completely unbelievable and (oftentimes) by themselves. I absolutely hate pulling off an amazing run on a mission and returning to town or whatever and nobody fucking cares that I literally just solved all of their problems in an afternoon and have the nerve to either complain or send me on a irrelevant fetch quest.

At least make them in awe of me or have some cool, rare dialog for having accomplished something. Killing Caesar was particularly egregious because as a story event it is basically ignored and reduced to "boy I wish I was there when you killed Caesar now let's get back to this war as if nothing ever happened."

I downloaded a post-game mod for NV and it's an incredibly surreal experience; having essentially become King of New Vegas (Yes Man ending) and was well-liked by most of the factions, I'd go back to somewhere like Goodsprings and get the sense that I was still just a kid who survived a gunshot to the head and that the battle between the Legion and NCR hadn't happened yet.
