Awesome / The Frontier

• The NCR Questline might be linear, but it compensates for that by having some of the most impressive and absolutely jaw-dropping setpieces ever done in the Gamebryo engine. The very first one being nothing else but the freaking Battle of Helios One itself, which looks like an absolute warzone with thousands of NCR soldiers rushing at Helios while the Brotherhood of Steel are slowly one by one completely crushed out of the location. And it only goes crazier and crazier from there!
  • Your first order upon arriving at the Frontier is following your platoon to join up with a tank in Portland so you can make your way to a bridge in order to booby trap it. Fighting alongside an NCR tank is just as awesome as it sounds, all intensified by the badass music that plays as you do so.
  • Later on, the Courier gets captured by the Legion. The NCR, knowing the importance of the legendary Courier from the Mojave, decide to immediately throw a rescue party to save them. You take the role of Hardcase, the leader of an elite NCR squad called Wolfpack and you start the rescue mission in quite possibly the most fucking awesome way one could conceive within the Gamebryo engine. The music, the building falling, the desperate chatter as the Vertibirds go down one by one, it's incredibly breathtaking.
  • Not long after your rescue, one of your first missions is to defend the NCR base from a Scav attack. So, of course, you hop into a tank and proceed to rampage your way through the wasteland fighting off incoming Scavs to stop them from reaching your base.
