[@secretbaguette]

Or. Or, stay with me here everybody, this one's gonna be a real doozy, you take the courier, start him off as a PFI grunt, then gradually *work your way up* to him being a total badass that everyone likes and respects. You know, like a story eith something so fucking routine and simple as goddamn *story progression* . Because let's face it. The Frontier is the Rey Dipshit school of charachter development taken to it's stonefaced, unironic conclusion. The protagonist starts at the bottom, because somebody somewhere managed to rub two neurons together to realize that's one of the hallmarks of a good story, without, might I add, ever figuring out *why* that happens to be the case. The protagonist however, does not start off at the bottom and have to *work* their way to the top, no, that'd get in the way of the setpieces! The protagonist is already amazing from the beginning, and only starts off at the bottom because everyone at the top is literally too preoccupied to realize how fucking amazing the protagonist really is, while everyone else in the entire fucking story can't help but gawk at how good and brave and skilled and amazing the protagonist actually is. This invetably leads us to an unsatisfying triumph in the story where the protagonist's worth is finally realized and we have a big action-packed setpiece. Then a big setpiece. We have some more action, culminating in a setpiece. We have a setpiece where the protagonist would be defying the odds if it was actually well written, a setpiece where the protagonist has to make a hard choice in a moral quandry and a setpiece which brings up something from the past. If that wasn't enough, we have a whole, drawn-out section full of nothing but an extended setpiece, because we might be able to jump that shark a few more times before everyone realizes it's not actually impressive to jump the shark anymore, to the point you've quite literslly gone and killed the damn thing. And, wait, hang on one fucking second, how could I possibly forget, one more really big, over the top, goddamn, mutherfucking setpiece? It's a story designed for it's visual and technical affect, not it's quality, because with quality storytelling, things have meaning. The setpieces are truly impressive because they don't happen all that often, and the lead-up is such that it establishes the setpiece as the proper point for the shark to be jumped, establishing just how much rests on the outcome of said setpiece. When charachters don't have flaws and important descisions, actions, and even deaths have no meaning, your story is never going to leave any true impact on it's audience, because you've robbed everything which happens in your story of any signifigance, any proverbial weight. It's like children playing with action figures and just making shit up as they go along. When anything at all can happen at any time for no reason whatsoever and be resolved just as quickly, nothing in the story will ever feel like it means anything, and your audience will get bored. It's as simple as that. If you're here, remember this, because you've essentially just been given a masterclass on exactly what not to do when writing a story.

That or maybe it was NNB run Mike disguised as Mike all along, and knowing the Frontier's boner for the Courier 6, he uses Zach as bait, reports to NCR exiles, and he even personally comes along with the rescue party to ensure they'd fail.

Just fixing america wouldn't save the crusaders questline. Damn near every woman character there suffers from Whedon tier "this female character is deep because she's sad and bad things happen to her, especially when we're sexualizing her" writing. The author clearly has a thing for trying to "fix" damaged women seeing how it railroads you into "oh no lady who is explicitly stated to be asian for some reason. You're a strong woman and I support you even though nobody should give a shit what the mailman thinks". It's just creepy as hell the way the writer views women as a whole.

[@nicoliony]

Based on dialouge Frontier takes place before the courier chooses a faction in the Mojave and secures hoover dam but has made a name for themselves at that point. NCR has always been incompetent in the main game but them making the courier a private and do basic missions is really dumb. Apparently the mod developers are working on a big update that will change the NCR campaign so I recommend Mike and Zach to playthrough the crusader storyline to waste time until that update is released or if the crusader campaign is just as bad or worse then just go back to the Mojave and revisit the frontier when that update happens if it even does come out.

I know where they got it from and I'm not gonna spoil it, and I think you can actually buy a t-54 in the states right now, so in reality its not THAT far from plausibility. On a side note I adamantly think that the Crusaders have the overall best ending for portland, and the Legion ending is ironically best for the NCR overall (Legate Velarius seceding from the main legion force would divert attention from Ceasar). The NCR exiles ending is just....nothing is accomplished, al the main factions are dead, go home, good day sir.

[@unhackerthelaziestbastardo6083]

The entire reason why the Exiles deserted from the NCR proper was because of the fact that they were being treated like canon fodder and felt like their leadership didn't care for their soldiers.

OMG I Lovvvvve the Mystery Science Theater 3000 reference!!! LMAO. You two are amazing, like bread and butter, like a 1911 & .45acp

[@the_rose_garden01]

Love the bit with the silhouettes, they sorta look like they're from PopTropica

[@Chevy64w]

I agree the call of duty-ness in this mod really was a missed opportunity, this should’ve been like trench warfare slower paced, with a few large scale battles in between, make all the artillery they show in the game play a factor

Would’ve been cool if they captured Hardcase and turned him into a legionary with drugs and stuff

"Using landmines is a war crime." A certain bunny girl might disagree with you there, peko.

[@donkeymanusa6364]

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is a classic. Love to see this

[@sumvs5992]

I love how that ending is a mix of the MW2 and RDR endings And by love I mean "wOw HoW oRiGiNaL"

[@justval4958]

There's that t55 rant everyone was waiting for lol

[@cristianpissai7563]

Edit: After writing all the stuff down there, I just saw what game Mike put on the description lol. Glad, I am not the only one who felt like that. I also stopped the video right before they started to discuss exactly what I am complaining about. Weird. Huh. The worst part of the Frontier and NCR route is how the whole game just feels like a knockoff COD shooter instead of an RPG. Seriously, the characters, set pieces, cutscenes, faux morally painful occurrences. Tell me this whole fucking rescuing the Courier ordeal doesn't just feel like a COD story mission. It's just boring, bland military stuff with not a hint of depth or world-building, which are basically the things that make New Vegas good.

Zach: I hate how everyone in this game treats me like a god! Also Zach: Literally summons bolts of lightning to kill people for fun

[@Silentguy_]

That felt less like the ending to Modern Warfare 2 and more like the ending to Red Dead 1

[@ZSchrink]

Fantastic episode. The devs of this mod definitely need a primer on pacing though...

The irony of a Roman empire larper naming himself Molech and talking about worshiping Mars.

'AA Gun targeting us'. Proceeds to just hover in mid air and not, you know, take evasive action, or something.

[@TiMmY3761]

The mystery science theater bit was gold.

Mike & Zach Science Theater 2228 14:20

[@silentweep9389]

The mystery science theater bit was class

[@Alucardcrimsonunicorn]

Is it just me that wants more Mystery science theatre with Mike and Zach

[@richardmarois4203]

I find it baffling that if you’re the legendary courier then why after one perimeter security sweep they send in their whole army after you. Like if you’re going to make us into this big epic figure at least let us do a few more missions to engrave ourselves with the exiles. And have them be a lot more meaningful than simply place mines here, oh no, I’m captured.

[@dboot8886]

Love, love, *love* the MST3K reference!

[@grimreefer9324]

I'm sensing a strange obsession with EXTREMELY long zoom-out shots.
