Seriously though
Is the mod any good?
It at least seems more original than Beth Fallout's (then again that's far from a high bar)

Play it like you would watch a movie like Sharknado or Birdemic and you will have a good time. Not gonna lie, it growns on you once you accept you are playing a bunch of autistic ideas throw together by modders who just wanted to make something fun and unique. Say what you will about The Frontier, its definitely not bland or forgettable.

FFS there is a whole ESM you have to disable to not scare arachnophobes. Don't do that an a location's monster's are missing. They have a whole ESM for a slavers location probably for the same reason.

They said it's because that location is bugged, won't be updated and as such, can be disabled via external plugin. Emphasis on "they said".

This mod's moral dilemmas are something else...

Call the girl a worthless bitch. Entire faction becomes hostile.
Call her a worthless bitch and offer to make her your slave. Becomes your most devoted follower :lol:

Also:

What did they mean by this?

Wow... So progressive. Just like real game developers the mod author/s once again snuck their fetish into the game. Remember, just like with real game developers, these mod authors have the gall to act like the arbiters of morality. Saying that they didn't want to add factions like the Enclave because they didn't want to "encourage a fascist power fantasy" yet added this. This is some Twitter and Tumblr level degeneracy.
:mlady:

Kind of weird not to allow the Enclave because it enables fascists because the NCR exists
According to the devs, the NCR, Legion and Enclave are Trump supporters and all 3 enable a fascist power fantasy. Can you guess which faction the devs wanted you to side with? Once again more Brotherhood of Steel dick sucking. Something I would expect from both first time modders and fans of Fallout 3.

The Brotherhood of Steel are the good guys? Isn't one of New Vegas's Main Quests is that you need to destroy the Brotherhood? Isn't there an entire quest line about how antiquated and useless the Brotherhood to Mohave and to the world, at large. The Brotherhood are nothing more than a bunch of autistic doomsday preppers who got their hands on laser weapons and power armor. They're no more reactionary than the NCR, Legion, or the Enclave.

Yes but you see the ones in Portland are CHRISTIAN Brotherhood of Steel, hence the name "Crusaders".

In House and the Legion main quest line you have to destroy the Brotherhood while with NCR and Yes Man you can forge an alliance with them.
Remember, this is from Fallout 3 fanboys. I am starting to wonder if those rumors from /v/ were true about the writers and mod author being more fans of Fallout 3 then the OG Fallout's and New Vegas.

To think that the developers had the gall to call Enclave and Legion fans LARPers. :lol:

We went from mods that had dialogue like this:


To this:


Based drunk Texan for the win.

P.S Good to see you too Zer0wing


Let's not pretend Someguy's mods had good writing. I installed a couple of them since people wouldn't stop lauding the writing, and turns out it was just edgy dogshit (and lacking obvious choices in a game renowned for its C&C).

Someone made a mod that lets you nuke the lizard people.


The comments on the mod are hilarious. Either thanking the mod author for letting them nuke the fetish fuel lizards or accusing The Frontier devs of being scalies. :lol: According to the mod author:
"the more I worked on it the more I felt like this was made not as a "ha-ha gross lizards are nymphomaniacs" joke, but rather as a short self-insert story for a furry (or a scalie)."

Apparently the mod author wants to fix more of the questionable shit in The Frontier. The guy has his work cut out for him.

random lizard calls you a teeth fetishist, one lizard talks about waking up in a pile of human underwear, most lizards have a weird lisp that is very inconsistent in all cases other than words starting with "ex-", so lizards constantly pronounce words "explore", "exist", "experience" as "ssexplore", "ssexist", "ssexperience".
:prosper:

Can you tell that the mod author has a major fetish and probably couldn't stop beating himself off with one hand while modding on the other one while making that level? At least Skyrim modders are honest with being degenerate fetishists. The developers of this mod hoped to make their degenerate fetish canon. Much like how the New California dev wanted to make his idiot head canon about the Vault Dweller clone officially canon. Goddamn are these big project modders so full of themselves.

You're free to feel that way about Someguy2000's mods but the point I was trying to make is that in 5-10 years we went from game developers and modders not giving a shit about who they offend or caring about Twitter weirdos fragile sensibilities to making mods and games that have fucking pronouns and censoring blood and gore in a game that is rated M in a franchise known for it's violence. Remember, the likes of Kotaku and Twitter will tell you that gaming has now "grown up".
:negative:
If this is what "grown up" gaming looks like I want to go back.

Implying we went from "this" to "that" is idiotic. This is not Someguy2000 suddenly changing the way he makes mods to appeal to a crowd. It's two different developers altogether.
There will always be people into edgy shit just like there will always be people thinking offering the option of removing gore in an M rated game makes sense (there's a case to be made for people with genuine phobias though, you know, those things that are not rational and for which the excuse "it's just a game bro" means jack shit).

Maybe people with phobias or fragile sensibilities shouldn't be playing a game that on the ESRB Rating has Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Content and Strong Language on it. Just a suggestion.

Yeah those bounty mods were pretty bad honestly looking back on it. The first one was ok in places though, and it kind of set a standard for quest mods.

Just too bad how the latter ones turned out

Why not? I don't see what a Mature rating has anything to do with arachnophobia, for instance.

Yet New Vegas also has giant mantises, flies, cockroaches, scorpions and ants. What about people who have phobias for those creatures? Problem is that once you give special treatment to one group then a whole bunch of others will then demand the same thing. Eventually you will be left with nothing but a shell of a game or mod. While I feel for people who legitimately have those fears, sometimes it is best to let them slide. The slippery hill of appeasement is a tough hill to climb.
