The Fallout modding community is excited today thanks to the launch of Fallout – The Frontier, a gigantic mod project for Fallout: New Vegas that adds a whole new game of content to the iconic Obsidian RPG.
Fallout – The Frontier moves the action to the snowy streets of Portland, Oregon. However, many of the players remain the same: you are a messenger and find yourself in the middle of a conflict between the Republic of New California and the brutal factions of the Legion of Caesar, and your three main missions will take you under the streets of Portland to discover the city’s pre-war secrets.
This is a truly amazing mod – not only does it add a new map that is almost the size of New York’s Mojave, but it also adds steerable vehicles, loads of new armor and over 150 new weapons, and a carefully written mature story that doesn’t have fear of showing players the horrific devastations of nuclear war. It is set before the events of the Battle of Hoover Dam, so it puts you within the Fallout timeline, but in addition to the family factions, The Frontier is a whole new Fallout story to explore and experience.
The creators say The Frontier is “arguably” the greatest mod ever released for Fallout: New Vegas (or any Fallout game, by the way), and while we can’t verify this independently, there’s a lot in the mod to support the claim. . Here is the trailer:
Go to Nexus Mods to download Fallout – The Frontier. You will also need the 4 GB Patcher, the New Vegas Script Extender, the JIP LN NVSE Plugin and the UI organizer mod. The Frontier developers also recommend using the New Vegas Anti-Crash and Mod Configuration Menu.
