In New Vegas the NCR is dumb as hell and problematic, it's just that it's going up against Caesar's Legion which is even more so by, like, an order of magnitude. They, the Legion, and Mr. House each basically represent a different aspect of the Old World's sins carried forward into the wasteland. That they represent violent American hegemony and apathy as an institution still leaves them looking pretty good. At least, good compared to the insane (and wildly hypocritical) dehumanization of the Legion, which takes the basic ideas of fascism to horrifying conclusions, and the solipsistic techbro supervillain who happens to be flavored in the style of a 1950's eccentric.

ah, but they were able to build a statue you see

My favorite Fallout New Vegas moment was building my character around the Built To Destroy perk, and doing Raul the Ghoul's companion quest to offset item degredation, but when it was resolving, Raul was like, "You know, Im so happy I joined up with you. I guess old people still have a lot to offer the world, don't they?" which gives him the Old Vaquero perk, which just merely boosts his rate-of-fire with pistols and rifles. And to get the Full Maintenance perk, I had to be, "Uhh, hell no. Fix my broken poo poo, old man." and Danny Trejo does this amazing Grampa Simpson, "Oh, ok.." response.

Brotherhood of Steel were a great idea in 1 and 2, and then literally "my OC SI" fanfic poo poo in order to justify them in Fallout 3 being on the East Coast as opposed to literally any new faction that did similar in hoarding/worshipping tech.

NV managed to get the point of them being clerical ritual obsessed shut ins who have to be forced out of their air conditioned bunkers to actually do something, then FO4 just retread the exact same ground as FO3 but managed to do it even worse.

the reason the brotherhood of steel is so prominent is probably tied to which faction the big stemlord dorks at bethesda think they'd be.

So hey, Fallout: The Frontier comes out tomorrow, and I'm excited to give it a shot. I reinstalled New Vegas a while back, and was following the Viva New Vegas guide. I only got about halfway through it (finished the Visuals portion and stopped there). Because of that though, I'm wondering if any of those mods are going to conflict with The Frontier. I know it's not actually out yet, so nobody knows what kind of mod compatibility it has, but I thought maybe I'd post the mod list to see if something like the expanded LOD or whatnot would cause issues.

EDIT2: Oh, I forgot that it was also getting released on Steam. There's is also an Excel sheet outlining mod compatibility: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1haLudyV-q4IXVu3jmJ_KjvF82CmsQDTIiyJXODHsdAs/edit#gid=0. However, it doesn't mention anything pertaining to LOD, so maybe I'll have to toggle that off.


But anyway, who's excited for it? It's been what feels like 4 years since it was announced, and I've wanted to play it since then.

being a vault dweller is an easy plot hook because they all live in vaults and have little to no knowledge of the outside world making it easier to explain things to the players and the vaults have a bunch of crazy poo poo going on in them that make them good for dungeons to explore

Yeah it’s why dude who comes from outside our fantasy world and it’s special rules is so common as a perspective character in fantasy and sci fi. And why every other mystery novel is told from the perspective of a dumbass instead of the brilliant detective, the detective needs a normal guy to explain his brilliant deduction to.

A cursory google search (or you know, just looking at their website) shows Richard Spencer aka Dragbody

a modder who has been creating mods on nexus for literally a decade now
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/users/2803386?tab=user+files&BH=1

I have no opinions about the mod itself as I have not played it but this was satanic panic levels of stupid.

Iamgoofball posted:

drat, that's an incredibly unfortunate name. Guess I was wrong.

I'll be honest, the way the mod frames joining The Legion as what a player should do if they want an actual story with choices doesn't really lend well to "the devs aren't chuds", and the NCR-except-not-actually-NCR campaign spending the first 30 minutes hammering into your skull "THE NCR IS THE BAD GUYS TOO, YOU GUYS!" also doesn't help matters. Yeah, the NCR isn't perfect, but also the NCR wouldn't field execute a bunch of their injured for logistical reasons. That's a Legion thing, and it's incredibly concerning and led me to believe that them putting Richard Spencer in the scoreboard was just a dumb crappy "haha get it guys?" thing.

I haven't tried out the Legion path yet because I hate the Legion, but I'll give it a go soon to see if they actually handle the Legion properly as a genocidal dictatorship run by a complete dumbass, or if they try to pull some Legion apologia crap.

It doesn't look like the Brotherhood route is any good either going by this post in the other New Vegas thread, so if the NCR COD campaign is the only good part then this mod's probably not gonna be too well-reviewed after everything's said and done.

Accusing people on an internet forum of psychotic behavior is loving yikes, though. Maybe don't do that?

Lurdiak posted:

I don't know if you've noticed dipshit, but there are external factors that are making people particularly sensitive to signs of fascist sympathizers these days. People certainly did jump to conclusions in this particular case but it was also immediately defused, so maybe strolling in here acting like a dick is not the best move.

VideoGames posted:

These last few pages have been incredible.

Do not automatically assume someone is a nazi because of their name. I mean surely you would at least verify that before posting here. Rinkles made an excellent point:

Lurdiak posted:

It was one guy jumping to conclusions and not accepting the reasonable explanation given by the dev until other people pointed out the explanation was reasonable. There have been 10x more posts making fun of that overreaction than there have been posts saying it sucks if there is a nazi involved in the mod. I don't know what you think is happening but it's clearly not.

Acebuckeye13 posted:

congratulations guys, you made it into an announcement on the Frontier discord :cripes:



Air Skwirl posted:

I asked for a further explanation and got one. I'm not gonna feel guilty for asking why the name of a prominent neo-nazi was in the game.

Air Skwirl posted:

Oh horrors, I was being cautious about the politics of the mod that locks a third of its content behind joining the "rape and slavery rock" faction.

None of them are as famous as the nazi one.
It sucks for that guy that he has the same name as a famous neo nazi, I would probably make sure my middle name or initial was featured in everything public about me.

There's a reason actor Michael B Jordan is always referred to as Michael B Jordan.

Bogart posted:

Jesus Christ, can you bunch of jackasses take it to your QCS jerkoff discord? I don't give a drat about you all posturing over who's the most woke. It was reasonable to be concerned about the name of a prominent neo-Nazi in a fan mod, in a community not necessarily known for their PC-ness. More information should've been gathered before the accusation was made, like, say, googling the names all together. But the response to it, all of you dipshits crawling over one another to prove that you are the most unwilling to accuse people, loving sucks. Talk about modding. Not about this horrible thread.
