The Frontier (Video Game)	comment	Fallout: New Vegas - The Frontier is a mod for Fallout: New Vegas released in January 15, 2021, eleven years after the game's release. Set around the same time as the events of the main game itself. Instead of the Mojave Wasteland, however, the mod introduces players to the titular Frontier, a cold, desolate waste surrounding what was once Portland, Oregon. The main plot focuses on a conflict between three factions. First are the NCR Exiles. Led by General Blackthorne, the exiles deserted from NCR after being betrayed by President Kimball, and have journeyed to the Frontier in order to get the supplies and weapons they need to return to California and oust Kimball from power. The NCR Exiles are currently engaged in a war with the Northern Legion, a sub-group of Caesar's Legion led by the enigmatic Legate Valerius. Valerius hopes to not only conquer the Frontier for Caesar, but also to institute necessary reforms that will allow the Legion to function as a standalone nation rather then the warband it is now. Lastly there are the Crusaders, a Brotherhood of Steel splinter cell that has embraced the theology of Mormonism. The group seeks to avenge the Brotherhood's loss at Helios One and also save the soul of the wasteland.The mod features three distinct main questlines, along with dozens of choice driven open ended side quests. In addition to a large, new setting, the mod features drivable vehicles, including Vertibirds.On January 28th, 2021, the mod was removed from Nexus Mods and its Steam page was quietly taken down due to serious controversies surrounding its content and creation, as well as some of its developers. A revised build with multiple assets removed both to disassociate from a developer due to the discovery that they drew highly controversial erotic content, among other misdeeds, and at the request of contributors who no longer wished to associate with the mod, was released on Nexus on the 1st of February 2021. Though plans were made to rework the mod to try and Win Back the Crowd, these plans were scuttled in March 2023.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License – Gun Safety: The NCR Exiles have a shooting range where the shooters are pointed directly at the hangar, with nothing between them but the few targets and the short walls the targets are on. Meaning that any missed shots that go high have a good chance of hitting their primary hangar, and they also have nothing to protect people who don't realize where the range is, as it is hard to see from some directions.

Later when it's revealed he's a Slaver and is called out by one of his former victims he doesn't even pretend to care, continuing to make poor attempts to lighten the mood along with encouraging the Courier to kill everyone in the building so he can escape.

Even before being Reassigned to Antarctica, he was a popular figure among the soldiers stationed in the Mojave. Somewhat subverted when he willingly risks the lives of hundreds of his men to save the Courier and even prioritizes the Courier’s care over that of his men, which led to the death of those who needed medical attention as well. By the time the Courier wakes up it’s mentioned that at least a few soldiers are considering a mutiny due to the blatant preferential treatment.

Actually going through with the NCR questline will end with the vast majority of them dying, the Liberator being destroyed, a California city being nuked and the Exiles being destroyed as a faction.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_1b8f9f2b	comment	Mutually Exclusive Party Members: Wrench and America due to the latter being locked behind the Crusaders and the former hating said group. While Wrench will still stay with the Courier if they join the Crusaders continuing with their questline will eventually have her leave. To add to the exclusivity, their respective personal questlines can only be done after passing the point of no return for the NCR Exiles/Crusaders (respectively) questlines where the other questline is locked offnote as released, this was not the case for Wrench, allowing one to do both if done in the right order, but later patches moved the point of no return to the start of the NCR Exiles quest whose completion is a prerequisite for starting Wrench's personal quest. Scrapz has a harder exclusivity with more than one other companions: he can only be repaired, and hence recruited, if the Legion is joined, something which naturally locks you out of the NCR and Crusader-loyal companions.

It really says something when multiple characters make a point about how settlement completely collapsing into themselves is a regular occurrence in the Frontier.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_3322f20c	comment	Virtuous Character Copy: Marco, one of the targets of the bounty hunting quest, is one to The Someguy Series' Marko Booth. Marco is introduced in a quest that's somewhere between a reference and a jab at New Vegas Bounties, and both Marco and Marko are raiders with a personal connection to the bounty-hunter-turned-questgiver (Wyatt and Steven Randall respectively). While Someguy Series' Marko is an unrepentant villain that Randall pursues to enact vengeance, The Frontier's Marco is a former lawman and associate of Wyatt's that turned raider after Wyatt executed a man on flimsy evidence, didn't shoot the victim's kid after he had witnessed the deed, and struggled with his guilt until his death.

The plothole is that, while Van Buren made it clear the idea didn't get off the ground and was just a plan, The Frontier gives the Enclave a space station filled with such advanced technology that blows anything from the canon games out of the water. The point of the idea in Van Buren was that it failed to work, but The Frontier adapting it and making it having happened creates huge problems with the setting, because if such a thing could have existed in the canon games, the Enclave realistically could never have lost in the past games, yet now the player has to assume it just never was used before now.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Failure. The vast majority of companions either have a major personal failure that's central to their backstories or experience such in the course of their companion quests. In addition, the three main factions and their leaders are each trying to overcome a major failure in their recent past. Another major theme is lies and deception. All of the major faction leaders are in some way either lying to you directly or keeping important details hidden from the player. Not to mention Rancor, the main antagonist of all three routs, is a spy, meaning that lying is his job.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_5ecdd585	comment	Renegade Splinter Faction: The NCR Exiles are a benevolent example. Although General Blackthorne and his men deserted from the army, they still remain loyal patriots and intend to return to the Mojave in force. The Crusaders, similarly, no longer have any real connection to the Brotherhood of Steel. If Valerius survives to the end of the Legion Questline, then the Northern Legion will become this as well. Thanks to their zealotry the Crusaders have quite of few of these, two of which in particular The Ushers and the Order of Eschaton are important to a few quests.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_6320eced	type	Gameplay and Story Segregation
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite allowing the player to play as different characters, they’re essentially just Faceless Goons with all of the Courier’s stats and even their Pip-Boy. Justified since otherwise the player wouldn’t be able to do things like access inventory or use V.A.T.S. Despite all the characters talking about the freezing conditions of the Frontier there's no actual cold mechanic. The player's free to use any vanilla game armor or even run around in their underwear with no ill effect. The player's first 'official' introduction to Junkflea comes during a later part of the main questline. If the player goes there beforehand one merchant claims that they've never seen them before even if they have an Idolized reputation among the Scavengers. The game largely assumes that the Courier has completed every major questline and every DLC, earning themselves a reputation as a legendary badass. Of course, it's also very possible to start the mod relatively early in the main game before they become a major player in the war for the Mojave. The mod itself offers the option to instantly level up to the recommended level for this expansion if you create a new character, making this even more confusing. On top of the above, the writing also assumes that you're at the very least not against NCR. The only way to get to Portland is signing up for a tour of duty with the Exiles, and despite the writing treating you as a living legend, nobody says a word even if your actions paint you as an outspoken Legion supporter. The ending slides if you go through the NCR Exiles questline aren't consistent in what the outcome is — most have the NCR Exiles be gone as a major force, which is what the final quests indicate, but several speak about it as if it was an active choice the Courier made rather than the consequence of how many — and important — NCR Exiles die as a result of the questline, and some have the NCR be an active, powerful force in the Frontier.

The cap rewards you get throughout the quest vary wildly and do not progress upwards linearly as they typically do in bounty hunter style quests. This is because some of the bounties you're taking on have been posted by rich, well connected people, and most have not. Thus, one of your first bounties in the quest (which is set up by well to do merchants) is liable to give a bigger cap payout then one of the bounties toward the end of the quest (which is set up by a couple of homeless people looking to get justice).

The problem is that the (non-Speech check) dialogue choice that starts the chain is "(try to talk America into putting on a slave collar)", meaning players aren't "blindly" clicking on the Speech checks in the first place. It doesn’t help that both the base game and the Dead Money DLC already did it better; in the former, one of the Boomer sidequests features a speech check that results in the poor fool you’re talking to getting blown into a fine paste and immediately failing the quest, while the latter had the entire plot with Dean Domino, which can be derailed from the first conversation if the wrong barter or speech check is made, forcing the player to eventually kill Dean because they made him distrustful.

Like Randall, he's a former bounty hunter that now runs a bounty office with a chip on his shoulder when it comes to ghouls. He's also named after a legendary Old West hero, befitting NVB's numerous references to The Western genre. Like Randall, he gets shot and possibly killed by a figure from his bounty hunter past. However, while Randall is depicted as an overall decent guy with a set of standards, Wyatt is both implicitly and explicitly described as someone living in the past and not acknowledging the darker side of his business. He also killed at least one man based on flimsy evidence, and wanted to shoot his little kid when he saw him do the deed. While Randall dies at a hand of Marko, who's an unrepentant raider and slaver, Wyatt can get killed by the son of said man.

And like many third options it's the happiest option with the possibility of the NCR and Crusaders breaking the cycle of hate in order to help the Frontier. Rancor is also stopped before he can detonate a nuke over an innocent town. Subverted for most of the major side quests, which often force the player into a Sadistic Choice.

The Vault Vikings from New California's Survivalist Raiders originated from Vault 37.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_9e943076	comment	One-Man Army: The Courier, as expected, particularly in the combat focused NCR questline. During the mission to Ostia instead of stealth it’s possible for the player to just kick down the door and kill everyone inside including Legate Valerius. Also, due to sharing the Courier’s stats, Gray and Hardcase are also this. The latter will likely kill his way through dozens of legionnaires and a tank by himself despite a loading screen crediting the entire Wolfpack group as killing ‘just’ 70 enemies in total. Exaggerated when the player enters Vault 9. The Courier is constantly drugged and tortured to be a Manchurian Agent, which is represented by them going through a horror scenario filled with monsters. By the time the Courier wakes up again they find out that they've killed everyone in the Vault aside from possibly their NCR allies. The sheer amount of gore and damage to the Vault's infrastructure paints a really horrific picture of what they must've done.

Possibly justified by a conversation with Warden Howell, who suggests that Domina Weaver's rage and survivor's guilt from the Brotherhood War and the destruction of New Canaan have influenced her faith.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd	comment	Cutscene Incompetence: During the first NCR main quest the Courier is hit with artillery and captured by the Legion despite the fact that the player can survive and fight back against far more stacked odds in the vanilla game. At the tail end of the NCR Exiles campaign, an NCR trooper demands that you turn in your weapons. His face and head is covered, and he speaks with the voice of a guy who had just betrayed you. Despite all the red flags, you get a single dialogue option to turn your weapons in, and aren't allowed to deny, fight back, or reveal his identity. This actually happens numerous times in the NCR plotline to the point of Running Gag. The Courier will be gassed, knocked out and subjected to Mind Rape among various other indignities throughout the main quest. Most glaringly being incapacitated by Rancor and the one soldier he has with him and being helpless while Rancor murders Blackthorne right in front of them. Attempting to fight back won't work since Rancor is invincible and the only way to proceed is to jump out of the vertibird over a height that would kill you in normal gameplay.

Additionally, Blackthorne mentions that he wants to overthrow Kimball and install a more patriotic government inside the mainland NCR. Kimball's inadequacies as a leader aside, the revolution Blackthorne is calling for would lead to the death of many NCR soldiers on both sides, causing the very loss of life he claims to hate. Much like Caesar, who claims that the wars being waged now are a necessary evil to ensure prosperity for future generations, Blackthrone isn't much better.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_de9047ac	comment	Gambit Pileup: Not as much as the main game, but still present in some regard thanks to Rancor's machinations. To whit: the main conflict is between the NCR Exiles and the Northern Legion. The Exiles are trying to get a superweapon called the Liberator working so they can take back California and remove Kimball from power. The Legion are unaware of this (though Valerius is Genre Savvy to realize that the Exiles must be here for some reason) and mostly just want to destroy the Exiles so they can secure their foothold in the region. In the shadow of this conflict are the Crusaders, new arrivals to the Frontier who want to defeat both factions because it's the right thing to do (Legion) and because they want revenge (NCR). Independent of all this are the Portland Enclave, who have been kidnapping Scavs for years, and are planning to unleash a biological weapon on the planet to cleanse all human life. And in the middle of all that is Rancor, who works for both the Legion and the NCR Exiles, while also working for a group of evil NCR Senators back in California... except Rancor isn't actually loyal to any of them and is using them for his own gain. From there, the plot of the NCR and Legion questlines mostly consists of Rancor manipulating you and whichever faction you're a part of to remove these one by one and leave him in power. Subverted for the Crusaders Questline however, where you mostly ignore all of the afformentioned gambits and just do your own thing, ruining Rancor's plans more or less on accident.

Dr. Voss is a very unsubtle one to Deathshead from Wolfenstein, to the point where your encounters with him on the space station mimic the opening levels of The New Order.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	type	Suspiciously Similar Substitute
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As a few players have pointed out, the NCR campaign plays very similarly to a Call of Duty game with an emphasis on combat, switching between multiple characters and full on assaults rather than being able to use stealth or speech. The Courier’s rescue even plays like the typical Call of Duty mission with a very well-equipped commando (who’s not the Courier) starting off in a vertibird before it’s shot down and they have to take out multiple AA guns with the help of their squad.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: The Crusader-NCR peace is bar none the happiest ending. The Legion is destroyed, the Exiles and the Crusaders set aside their hatred to work together for the sake of saving the Frontier, and Rancor is stopped before his plans come to fruition.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f818b637	type	Dude, Where's My Respect?
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f818b637	comment	Dude, Where's My Respect?: Resoundingly averted. The NCR speaks to the Courier like a Living Legend and, apart from a few NPCs, treat them with awe and assume that their presence will be a turning point in the conflict. They even mount what's at least a 200-man rescue to save them if they're crucified by the Legion, much to one soldier's annoyance and disbelief. Played straight with the Northern Legion. Even if you’re idolized by the main game Legion Legate Valerius will still treat you like a lowly recruit and insist on punishing the Courier even though their spy inside the NCR camp outright told them to work with the NCR till they could establish contact with the group.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33	comment	This actually happens numerous times in the NCR plotline to the point of Running Gag. The Courier will be gassed, knocked out and subjected to Mind Rape among various other indignities throughout the main quest. Most glaringly being incapacitated by Rancor and the one soldier he has with him and being helpless while Rancor murders Blackthorne right in front of them. Attempting to fight back won't work since Rancor is invincible and the only way to proceed is to jump out of the vertibird over a height that would kill you in normal gameplay.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb	comment	How the NCR Exiles' campaign ends. Blackthorne dies, and so do a lot of characters that could've continued his legacy... not that there's anything to continue: the Liberator gets destroyed in a fight between the Exiles loyal to the Courier and Rancor's forces, and between that and the nuking of Sac-Town any chance of the Exiles reforming the core NCR went up in smoke. The remnants of the Exiles don't have enough manpower to bring civilization to the Frontier. And just to twist the knife, the 2000 caps you got for completing the tour of duty is barely enough to cover a bus ticket back to the Mojave.

The Frontier (Video Game) / int_ff481077	type	Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale
The Frontier (Video Game) / int_ff481077	comment	Scifi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale: Two examples, one in Mass and one in Distance. For Mass, the ARCHIMEDES II space station is shown to be massive. While the exterior of the station is understandably huge, the interior is so massive and complex that it feels Bigger on the Inside. For Distance, this example comes from the tail-end of the NCR Questline in which Rancor launches a nuke at Sac-Town, a major city in California, namely what used to be Sacramento before the Great War. After Sac-Town is nuked, the player character and see a huge, fully visible mushroom cloud of the nuclear missile detonation. However, the mod is set in the post-war wastes of Portland and surrounding areas, which is about 579.6 mi/932.77578 km away. The mushroom cloud from a commonly deployed nuclear weapon - between 100 and 500 kilotons - would top out between 14 and 19 kilometers, which could be observed from 420 to 490 kilometers away, respectively. For megaton-sized weapons, the cloud tops might be observable up to if not beyond 700 kilometers away. So at the distance the player character is at, the mushroom cloud either should not be visible or at the very least, should appear very small due to perspective, let alone be able to hear it at that distance.
