I swear, the devs put absolutely no thought into how the existence of these factions would affect the world of Fallout. Both the Frontier NCR and Frontier Legion are SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than their originals, like to a stupid level. The NCR lost a bit over 100 men during the Battle of Hoover Dam and that was considered heavy casualties and a significant concern for the NCR in the Mojave. All the big scary Fiend leaders have killed something like a few dozen NCR troopers and that alone was enough for the NCR to put sizable bounties on their heads and the Fiends were considered a major threat, even though their numbers aren't all that massive either. The NCR Military probably isn't that big either, a minimum of 700k people live in the NCR and if we assume the same proportion of NCR citizens join the military as modern America, around 0.5%, that puts you at like 3,500 for the ENTIRE NCR military, which controls vast amounts of territory throughout the continental US. Even if you assume that a larger percentage of their population enlists, you're not gonna have a military that's more than a couple tens of thousands. And the Frontier NCR literally throws hundreds of soldiers at shit constantly. And technologically the Frontier NCR is so much more advanced it's not even funny, I'm pretty sure the only time in the entire game the NCR uses a Vertibird is to transport President Kimball (so presumably it's like Air Force One) yet the Frontier NCR has an entire fleet of Vertibirds and those things crash all the damn time. And that's not even mentioning the tanks, APCs, the fuck-off giant helicarrier thing, and so on.

it gets worse, the main "twist" villain, mr painfully obvious spy, also works for ncr congress, and they send their own fleet of vertibirds and a small army of 1st recon (you know the extremely exclusive group who can snipe you across the desert, yeah now they are mooks with relatively weak assault rifles) and it tops it off with *congress wanted blackthorne to rebel so they deliberately sent down the order to screw over his troops, so that they could use him as a pawn to take down Oliver.* Oh and you get to laser nuke the entire legion, ncr, or both.

You would think that at that point, the Frontier NCR would just go back down south and overthrow the current government with what they already have. No need to get a giant fuck-off flying aircraft carrier. With the amount of tech they found, they should've left the Frontier years ago. Get in, take everything that isn't bolted to the floor, and get out. And if the Frontier had such massive amounts of caches of weapons, vehicles, and other military tech, then why wasn't there a local powerhouse faction controlling the area and conquering the neighboring regions?

The mod makes the argument that Portland was a major staging point for the Anchorage campaign before the nukes, so it has a huge stockpile of pre-war equipment.

Human History has been witness to entire armies and wars being lost to the winters of Northern polar regions. The old "Russian Winter" saying exists for a reason, after all. It's a lesson men like Napoleon and Guderian learned the hard way. If anything, the real criticism to be made is that the factions of The Frontier seem to be completely immune to the effects of the nuclear winter, such as the scarcity of food, the buildup of snow in lanes of travel, the volatile weather endangering aerial flight, and the very simple but extremely important threat posed by the sub-zero temperatures. The devs completely failed to capture that critical aspect of the setting.

How to write characters 101: Characters should always have motivations for their actions AND dialogues. Motivation should not be confused with a goal. Motivation is the drive that moves people towards a goal despite roadblocks. Motivation is an emotional response to a stimulus - typically an event in the characters background story will shape who they are and why they do what they do. Motivation should always be behind the scenes, unless a specific purpose for explaining that motivation is important to the story. Most people do not fully grasp their own motivations, and sometimes act in ways that conflict with their goals due to underlying issues related to motivations causes by past experiences that they have not identified. By having conflicting motivations based on multiple events in a characters backstory, you can create realistic flaws. These flaws should create an INTERNAL conflict when trying to complete a goal. Villains should be handled carefully with this point as they need to have flaws that actually prohibit them from being able to achieve their goal, despite them being motivated to achieve it. This is how you make a believable bad guy. Growth, and ultimately the accomplishment of the character's goals is achieved by overcoming a source of motivation that is in conflict with the goal - typically in the form of letting go of a past experience and actively choosing to change how they view said experience. This in essence is the "internal battle" that has to be won, and once won produces change in the character that removes the flaw / opposing motivation that is preventing them from completing their goal. This allows the goal to be accomplished only after introspection and change. 1-dimensional characters only have 1 layer of writing: goals. These characters don't have motivations hidden behind the scenes and are not shaped by experiences. Exposition is common place in writing that has 1-dimensional characters. 2-dimensional characters have motivations and even backstories, but do not have an internal conflict that is derived from multiple conflicting motivations, and oftentimes the characters are familiar with their key motivation. 3-dimensional characters have flaws that come about from the internal conflict of competing motivations derived from experiences. Most of this is not explained to the reader / character. These are things that must be pieced together from bits of information gathered from interacting with said character. These characters can only achieve their goals through the act of introspection and decisive change, causing growth of the character. The frontier, from what I have seen (and what little I have played), has almost exclusively 1-dimensional writing. They do have a few 2-dimensional parts of characters, but ultimately the characters are terribly written.

The mod has allot going for it but the fucking writting is what ruins the mod

[@TeamOneDay]

Even some of the voice actors like that tool MikeBurnFire went out of their way to go after people who criticized the mod, and of course remove everyone who did so on their le subreddit. Which is funny considering he's been quite critical of other things, but throws a tantrum on when work he was on is questioned.

Gray: "He cares about his men." Blackthorne: Has people who just want to go home executed despite that being the exact reason they all deserted in the first place, and sends hundreds (including his best soldiers) to their deaths for one mercenary who joined, like, yesterday. Also, why the fuck is the Enclave even in this mod? Blatant plagiarism of Dead Space and Wolfenstein aside, the whole space segment and the Enclave parts in general could have been cut and you'd lose nothing.

[@marley7868]

that's not true you'd lose the space station that probably would have used before like when liberty prime was kicking there ass and not use up there one time satellite silos

[@Scout-164]

It doesn't even make sense because the Enclave never got to build a space station as Tim Cain felt the Vault experiments would've allowed the best of humans to help build one, but that never happened so it's just plagiarism.

It's kinda fun, if underwhelming in practice. If there was more verticality to the fight it would have been nice, and if he switched weapons and tactics during the fight. Like once he is at half health, do the trick from ghost of she where she divides herself, at 1/4 switch to a tesla cannon and focus on shooting you with pinpoint shots from far away. Leave pulse grenades in boxes in the room, which can be used to disrupt his dash or instantly kill one of the copies. All that hype and he went down like a bitch

My favorite part about this whole mess is when you get to that stupid hallucination sequence that's supposed to make you feel bad, Spec Ops the Line style, yet the mod devs didn't realize this whole time, you've just been roaming the Mojave blowing shit up.

[@HTacianas]

There's so many moments that are supposed to make you feel bad for, or form a connection, but the devs forgot that you're supposed to establish relations with characters before killing them off. The scene where you're executing wounded soldiers is an obvious MGS:V ripoff, but without any of the prior emotion invested in the soldiers under Snake's command that make the scene meaningful.

[@darksouls_guy1656]

@@HTacianas I only just started playing the mod, and that scene seemed fairly idiotic to me. There's definitely a ton of solutions rather than "kill the wounded people!!1!" that wouldn't result in their deaths.

[@johndetlie7853]

I could have excused the occasional pop culture reference, but when the entire NCR campaign is literally just a series of scenes that were blatantly stolen from other games and movies and stitched together with half-assed writing, you've lost me.
