So is autumn leaves the only quest mod with FNV caliber writing? Since this and the other big quest mod I’ve played, beyond boulder dome, were kinda cringey

It must be pretty neat to see your orbital space cannon from van buren finally show up in a game but it also comes with bdsm snake men

I just want to say I deeply regret my previous questions about The Frontier and I apologize to all of the developers of the mod where you can put a bomb collar on a woman named America in order to make her your slave, apparently because she made fun of you once within ear shot.

Big mass battles really are not one of FNV's strengths. I appreciate that they tried, but man, they shoulda just had you be a free contractor from the start instead of...whatever the hell that was.

So uh I’m playing the Frontier, fighting some “strange creatures” when suddenly Victor rolls up out of nowhere and starts shooting them. When talked to he gives the same dialogue he does when rescuing you if you go north from Goodsprings.

That’s certainly a bug.

Speaking of NC, is NC any better than Frontier? I never played that one either since 99.9 % of NV quest mods are garbage because most of the Fallout fandom just don't understand what makes Fallout good so you get cringy fanfic poo poo like all the stuff that's been posted in this thread. :smith:

In the Frontier your choices are between the NCR, the Legion, the Crusaders etc.

In New California your choices are between Jock and Nerd. And also you're the Courier's origin story.

I knew about the couriers origin story thing (which yeah giving the courier a backstory does defeat the whole point of having an empty slate character for roleplaying purposes) and I knew about the nerd/jock choice thing at the beginning but I didnt seriously think that it had a big effect on the story and poo poo lol

not having a high enough level for a dialogue option in the game makes you say something very stupid and usually funny when you select that option, giving a good reason for why it doesn't work. that's one of the better things about new vegas. i'm sorry for defending stepping in dog poo poo

Saxxon's Quest are pretty lore friendly and simple, use some Van Buren stuff for background.

Someguy series is really good, although I think he kinda went up into his own butthole with his ultimate antagonist Marko, as if you play the mods it kind of narrates Marko as your ultimate most important showdown that scars your character. I find that kind of annoying because I believe a mod should give you more stuff to do, but not attempt to change the main game story to make their included stuff be on the same level of importance as vanilla stuff. If you don't like that though, just stick with Bounties I, II, The Inheritance, and Russell for really good quest mods.

Just bring a Minigun or something else for those last two though.

I hear Northern Road Remastered is really good too.

There's also PuceMoose, a goon-made series of mods that I hear are great but conflict with Bounties so I haven't tried them.

I haven't really modded NV apart from the essential stuff in a while, the frontier mod crashes my game whenever I alt tab out which is kind of a deal breaker. Hasn't been happening in my regular playthrough I've been doing. Anyone had any luck avoiding this?

I haven't had this problem, but that may be because I installed a mod that lets you play the game in borderless windowed mode. It's this option under the Viva New Vegas guide: https://vivanewvegas.github.io/utilities.html#onetweak

Puce Moose's mods are great, would recommend for Fallout 3 and New Vegas
