Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Fallout: The Frontier



Fallout: The Frontier is a fan-made modification for the 2010 action role-playing video game Fallout: New Vegas initially developed by Maybenexttime and JoshBadWriter, later led by Tgspy, along with many members of the Fallout Modding Community and Frontier Development team.

Setting
As the Courier, you start a new adventure centered around a conflict between the NCR and the Legion in the snow blasted remains of Portland, Oregon.

Gameplay
To begin the mod, a character will approach the Mojave Desert after waiting a couple days. After some discussion, the Courier will go on a truck to the Frontier.

The mod features a map around the size of the base Mojave Desert map. It also features hundreds of interior locations.

Features

 * Climbable ladders
 * Vehicles
 * NPCs who animate using a lot more body language, such as crying
 * Multiple companions who can follow the Courier at the same time

Development
The mod has been in development since around 2015 or 2016. It released on Nexus Mods on January 15, 2021.

In May 2021, the Frontier team addressed criticisms and announced their intention to rework the mod "from the ground up", including entirely rewriting the game's NCR questline, which drew criticism due to many players feeling it was linear and like Call of Duty. With this announcement, they also began recruiting new writers, artists and developers for the project. Project lead Tgspy stated in a blogpost "we hope that this new story will do better justice to the characters, and to the Frontier as a whole".

In 2022, the team announced that because some developers were in Ukraine's conflict zone, this would halt some progress on the mod.
