History VideoGame / TheFrontier

* ReassignedToAntarctica: In an earlier version of the Mod's story, General Blackthorne's growing popularity and increasingly public criticisms over President Kimball's policies in the Mojave led to him and his supporters being exiled to the hostile border territories of the Frontier. In the Mod proper, Blackthorne and his men are deserters.

** Callidus Praceo is one to Vulpes Inculta, being an EvilGenius with a CreepyMonotone who use atrocious tactics against their enemies. Similar to Vulpes' dirty bomb Callidus switched his uniforms with that of the slaves in one town they conquered then sent them out to be killed by the NCR strike team sent to rescue them, both so his garrison could escape safely and to demoralize the NCR.** Dr. Voss is a very unsubtle one to Deathshead from Wolfenstein, to the point where your encounters with him on the [[spoiler:space station]] mimic the opening levels of [[VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder The New Order]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Legate Valerius has a secret wife and two children sequestered away near Ostia. For all his many, many faults, the man seems to legitimately love his family, which is why he keeps them away from the rest of the Legion.]]

* FacelessGoons: Any time the player is put in the hands of a different character their faces are obscured, presumably to keep up the illusion of it being another character. Though the effect is somewhat dampened given that they don’t remove the pipboy as well.

** Despite allowing the player to play as different characters they’re essentially just FacelessGoons with all of the Courier’s stats and even their pipboy. Justified since otherwise the player wouldn’t be able to do things like access inventory or use V.A.T.S.

* GlobalCurrency: Played with. Caps are still the main currency of the Frontier, but where as the "backing" of Caps in other games is typically either water or actual gold, the backing of caps in the Frontier is instead Salt. Thus, Salt Town is quite a wealthy location.

** Originally the town of Promise was going to be much larger and feature it's own short questline. Most of the things planned for Promise were later re-worked into quests for the town of Irvington.

** The Hanged Man is an {{Adorkable}} [[ThePrankster practical joker]] with a penchant for pre-war cardgames. He is also a deadly VigilanteMan and a skilled sniper.

''[[http://www.falloutthefrontier.com/ Fallout: New Vegas - The Frontier]]'' is a mod for ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' released in January 2021, eleven years after the game's release. Set around the same time as the events of the main game itself. Instead of the Mojave Wasteland, however, the mod introduces players to the titular Frontier, a cold, desolate waste surrounding what was once Portland, Oregon. The main plot focuses on a conflict between three factions. First are the NCR Exiles. Led by General Blackthorne, the exiles deserted from NCR after being betrayed by President Kimball, and have journeyed to the Frontier in order to get the supplies and weapons they need to return to California and oust Kimball from power. The NCR Exiles are currently engaged in a war with the Northern Legion, a sub-group of Caesar's Legion led by the enigmatic Legate Valerius. Valerius hopes to not only conquer the Frontier for Ceaser, but also to institute necessary reforms that will allow the Legion to function as a standalone nation rather then the warband it is now. Lastly there are the Crusaders, a Brotherhood of Steel splinter cell that has embraced the theology of Mormonism. The group seeks to avenge the Brotherhood's loss at Helios One and also save the soul of the wasteland.

** As indicated under StoryOverwrite, the Crusader questline is written as if you joined them as soon as you could, but it is entirely possible to do so ''much'' later in the NCR questline without the Crusader quests taking this into account.

As of January 28th, 2021, the mod is not available on either Nexus Mods or UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} due to ''serious'' controversies surrounding its content and creation, as well as some of its developers. Please practice Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement when editing this work's pages.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Resoundingly averted. The NCR speaks to the Courier like a LivingLegend and, apart from a few NPCs, treat them with awe and assume that their presence will be a turning point in the conflict. [[spoiler:They even mount what's at least a 200 man rescue to save them if they're crucified by the Legion, much to one soldier's annoyance and disbelief.]]

* ExposedToTheElements: Normally averted with NPCs covered in bundled or at least full sleeved clothing. Played straight by the Courier (if they choose to not wear Frontier specific armor) and America (who wears leather armor that exposes her arms and midriff). Justified for the latter given her [[FeelNoPain condition]] meaning that she doesn't feel the cold of the Frontier.

* GenderIsNoObject: Played more straight with the Legion this time. It's harder to join the Legion as a female Courier, but otherwise female characters aren't nearly as restricted in their dealings with the Northern Legion as they are with it's Southern Counterpart. [[spoiler:There's even a female slavemaster]].
