I don't know why they wanted to name the character so bad, good lord, none of the other games name the MC as much as this one does. It just makes the characters look so dumb because they don't bother asking the MC their freaking name.
Its especially funny if you skipped to the mod like they let you do, you've basically just woken up and they're like "ZOMG YOURE THE COURIER YOURE SO IMPORTANT PLZ HAVE MY BABIES"
@@scottpilgrimpwns while the whole courier being known thing is obviously overdone just bc you can head to the mod right off the bat doesn't mean you should, you're supposed to do it once you're a bigshot, so if you don't that's an inconsistency you caused yourself, a lot of dlc for many games can have the same problem but it shouldn't be a big deal
Its been said before but it comes off like whoever wrote this only ever played Elder Scrolls games. Every NPC talks to you like you're the Dragonborn. Even if you had done the entire main quest and DLCs, the courier isn't that high of stature
That's because they did. Most of the devs were TES/Fallout 3 fans and the project lead even said he never played New Vegas aside from developing the mod.
The NCR MQ was written by a fellow named Devilswish. He is astounding when it comes to the technical side of things, but is not as good of a writer. Also, Lukasz is wrong about the project lead having never played New Vegas. He hasn't played it in a while, but he has played it.
@@kvant13 No problem, its just people criticize him for liking 3 over new vegas and not playing it for a while and I'm like that has nothing to do with the quality of his modding skills. Man put a lot of work into this mod and its a shame he gets dragged through the mud because he didnt like the game as much as many others.
@@castellan4233 Those are two different things though. Nobody's questioning his skills but his dislike for NV is a valid criticism especially given how hostile he is to people who complimented the mod technically but thought it didn't fit the lore.

The Frontier is what happens when you let programmers write the storyline, rather than storywriters. They were so concerned with whether they _could_ and never stopped to ask if they _should._
@@maltemuller4062 Bethesda has dedicated writers and people who double up as programmers. Most of those that do are project leads. Emil Pagliarulo for example was the lead designer and writer on Fallout 3, and actually won the Game Developers Choice Award for Best Writing in 2008, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's like a director of a film also being a writer. It can work out really well, but only if you have both of those skill sets.
3:40 I actually think the 'No.' is kinda funny, but I'd change this interaction a bit First, remove the wild wasteland req. Give some options for the player in response, something like: >" [Speech 40] It works for Caesar's Legion, maybe the NCR ought to take a page out of their book?" >" [Barter 60] You seem short enough on troops as it is. If you want my hand, you'll fit it with something I can slice with." Passing either check will have the lieutenant reluctantly provide you with, say, a special combat knife that's intended only for rangers or something. Or have another, more lax guy you can talk to who'll provide you with some melee equipment off-record. Just something like that. More than 'no melee.' That's so fucking boring.
I always hate card or board games in video games, only game I seriously gave that stuff a try in was the witcher 3, and tbh I kinda regret it bc I spent a lot of time throwing cards around when I could've been chopping up griffins
@Micky D Have you tried the Viva New Vegas modding guide? It's basically a vanilla+ guide and is VERY stable, I only have maybe 1 crash every play through with that guide. It may require a fresh install though
Unless they changed something, Tick Fix is supposed to be built in with The Frontier. I just installed The Frontier (when it first came out) and NVAC, and my game was buttery smooth.
@@MickyD To help with some of the crashes, you should get the 4GB RAM extender mod/patch. It's a little rough around the edges to make it work, but once it does, you'll notice a LOT more stability when loading a lot of mods in at once, especially when you're trying to use a higher res texture packs or entire expansion style mods like this. Alternatively, GoG sells copies of the game that already has the 4GB patch done. Here is the link for you if you're interested: www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552/?tab=description Most of the crashes occur because of memory leaks because the game is ancient and didn't really expect people's computers to have that much floating RAM, and when playing at higher resolutions than when it was released for, as well as the OS differences (We got this game on Windows 7, and some folks had XP still) it tends to get kinda hairy with the code. This mod basically tells the game "You now have this much resources to allocate to playing the game, so now you don't have to squeeze all the code down in a tiny sector anymore" and this makes it run much smoother. I think I was able to play the game for about 8 hours, using pretty large mods, without crashes and I think the only reason it did was because I alt+tabbed into a browser window and I still don't think a 2010 game likes that feature.

I can just imagine someone picking wild wasteland, going to check this out, and immediately cringing at that family guy level gag of having your dialogue interrupted by the "Um, actually" npc. That is your first impression, for wild wasteland users, holy shit. lmao
Brother Zael I still have a copy of it before the controversial stuff was cut, I held onto it if I ever wanted to play it for a laugh. If you want, I can put it up on google drive and post a link here. It's really, really cringy lmao. Not that the "cut" version is much better, literally almost every female character is either a sex worker, a cringe love interest with terrible dialogue lines, a sex slave, or a sex abuse victim. Removing the line about feet and the underage stuff didn't really do anything to fix their portrayal of women lmao. Vanilla fallout had that sort of content but it was never so on the nose or commonplace..

You know, the reason I like the courier more than any other fallout/elder scrolls protagonist, is specifically because he/she's not some predestined special hero, the courier is just a delivery guy who got mixed up in some serious shit, the courier isn't someone people consider a living legend, they consider him/her a hired gun with decent skills and powerful weapons.
I'm not sure what he was complaining about they give you a combat knife and frying pan, plus it's the ncr they're not exactly very melee oriented so it'd kinda break immersion if they offered a melee weapon as a main
The reason why Stutter Remover had to be removed is because it’s old and outdated. The mod has been superseded by New Vegas Tick Fix (NVTF) in the NV modding community, which I think might be a prerequisite for the mod
Def down for more. If I can make a request though. Everyone is playing the ncr story and apparently is the most stupid and boring. Would be nice to see the legion side for once, maybe so we could skip that cancerous space station
As recommended, go see Four Decent Friends. Compared to the other two, the NCR story is AT LEAST not boring. They are all stupid, but NCR has pulpy and amateurish writing, while the Legion and the Crusaders are aggressively awful.
So you're saying, after removing all the shit from that one dev they put all the blame on, and the suspect stuff like America's dialogue and the sex lizards, the mod still isn't good? Truly shocking
@@paistinlasta1805 He mentioned thanking Todd Howard for letting him play the frontier without crashing or something like that I was just making a joke/reference to what he said
5:05 Yeah, I do love Caravan... But I'mma be honest: I don't know how to play I just followed a guide that said to put 10, King, and 5 in your deck and only that and play 10-king-5 on everything.
God it’s the most cringe shit EVER to hear someone be like “oh wow you’re the courier!!!!1!1!” Like NO ONE refers to the character as The Courier in game ffs it’s such B movie bullshit
the worst part is they never explain WHY as in have them mention shitte you did in the main game to EARN THAT AWE like id be ok with the ncr adoring you if they just mention all the crap i did for them in the main game like SINGLE HANDIDLY saving camp forlorn hope camp macaran destroying paradise cove and the fort AND killing cesar but no they just mindless praise you without ever giving a reason making it feel dumb
Hey lad, I know you're all about checking out mods and stuff and on the 18th, Enderal Special Edition comes out so it will be awesome to see you do a playthrough of that!
The biggest tragedy of this mess is that the mod is actually very impressive in terms of what it managed to achieve technically (especially in terms of the driving mechanics), but that was completely overshadowed by literally everything else.
Check out for the enclave next. Its fully voice acted and adds a custom quest line to the game where you side with enclave soldiers trying to rebuild and not be dicks.
dude i absolutely love your channel, I mean you upload so frequently and all the content is absolutely great and far from stale and always feeling fresh! Keep it up homie!!
The irony is the fact that everyone falls into the NCR Exiles plot line, and while that is indeed an utter fluster cluck, the Crusaders have been extremely fun and I've heard that the Legion is actually pretty good.
When they said Camp Phoenix it brought back the utter boredom I had while in Kabul. Luckily I was only there for about 3 weeks of training total, I mean it’s a cool base and had a lot to offer the people stationed there but bigger FOBs never really feel like you’re in a combat zone to me.
You know the fact that literally the only thing that keeps this mod in our minds nowadays is a meme shitpost videos about taxes that clanky4 makes says volumes about this mod as a whole.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez Yeah basically. They remove whatever card of the opponent's that you put them on and any attached. So a 10 and a king which is 20 by itself can be canceled with one jack. They are op as fuck
Ι think the destroyed the anclave is a reference to the another dlc mod called New California where they try to show how the courier started their story.
im was excited for this after seeing some video just talking about what we knew at the time which was the scope and vehicles and no writing yet. waited for the steam release for ease of use and thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
The whole Courier thing was what ruined the mod for me. The exact reason in this video and Portland would be a month travel to Nevada in Fallout and nobody in Portland would give a hoot about anything in Nevada so even if you completed the main quest they wouldn't care much less know. The other thing that killed it was NCR, BOS, and Legion being involved in Portland instead of local factions.
This gives me vibes of the DLC where you go into a sim fighting the Chinese. I can't remember what is called cause it was a slog and I (frustratingly) rushed through it hating pretty much all of it. Kudos to the people that worked on it though. They did a good job with implementing their vision of an expansion and obviously it has its adoring fans.
Ah yes the Frontier. I remember doing a fresh playthrough by using Viva New Vegas to get everything up and running. I had quite a lot of fun exploring the frontier. And right in the middle of it, even before I picked a side, the mod just flatly gave up on me and started endlessly crashing whenever I tried to walk some small distance away from where I had last saved. I don’t recall seeing a ton of gfx stuff missing, so I think I still have the older version somewhere in my files. Can someone remind me what the controversy was?
I know this is an old video, and you won't see this comment, but ive been going through a lot of your content since I discovered you a week or two ago, really helps brighten my otherwise gloomy days, thanks for all the content man

I learned how to play Caravan once but forgot a long time ago, still win every now and then though lol
5:05 Yeah, I do love Caravan... But I'mma be honest: I don't know how to play I just followed a guide that said to put 10, King, and 5 in your deck and only that and play 10-king-5 on everything.
God it’s the most cringe shit EVER to hear someone be like “oh wow you’re the courier!!!!1!1!” Like NO ONE refers to the character as The Courier in game ffs it’s such B movie bullshit
the worst part is they never explain WHY as in have them mention shitte you did in the main game to EARN THAT AWE like id be ok with the ncr adoring you if they just mention all the crap i did for them in the main game like SINGLE HANDIDLY saving camp forlorn hope camp macaran destroying paradise cove and the fort AND killing cesar but no they just mindless praise you without ever giving a reason making it feel dumb
I'm really enjoying this so far
It's really funny watching you just get frustrated with this lmao
Mate you deserve so much more attention. Keep up the quality content
Hey lad, I know you're all about checking out mods and stuff and on the 18th, Enderal Special Edition comes out so it will be awesome to see you do a playthrough of that!
Rly? Didn't know Enderal got SE. Gotta play that. 10x
I'd like to see the rest of this mod, it looks like a wonderful trainwreck
The biggest tragedy of this mess is that the mod is actually very impressive in terms of what it managed to achieve technically (especially in terms of the driving mechanics), but that was completely overshadowed by literally everything else.
Suffering from a case of too many cook cooks in the kitchen.
Check out for the enclave next. Its fully voice acted and adds a custom quest line to the game where you side with enclave soldiers trying to rebuild and not be dicks.
Holy shit I think this is the Micky D vid I watched. Channel's really grown the last few months good on him.
Would love to see you play more of this! Enjoying all of your content so far, especially Morrowind shenanigans.
dude i absolutely love your channel, I mean you upload so frequently and all the content is absolutely great and far from stale and always feeling fresh! Keep it up homie!!
The irony is the fact that everyone falls into the NCR Exiles plot line, and while that is indeed an utter fluster cluck, the Crusaders have been extremely fun and I've heard that the Legion is actually pretty good.
The Frontier must truly be a great realm, where couriers are held in high honor
When they said Camp Phoenix it brought back the utter boredom I had while in Kabul. Luckily I was only there for about 3 weeks of training total, I mean it’s a cool base and had a lot to offer the people stationed there but bigger FOBs never really feel like you’re in a combat zone to me.
You know the fact that literally the only thing that keeps this mod in our minds nowadays is a meme shitpost videos about taxes that clanky4 makes says volumes about this mod as a whole.
There are 2 types of people:
People who don’t know how to play caravan and liars
I don't really know all the rules but if you want to win make your deck a bunch of tens, fives, kings, and jacks.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez Yeah basically. They remove whatever card of the opponent's that you put them on and any attached. So a 10 and a king which is 20 by itself can be canceled with one jack. They are op as fuck
Caravan’s not that hard lol. I just wish I knew someone irl to play with
Making an entire mod about enslaving that girl you liked in junior high is kinda weird, but it really is a massive flex
Didn't NCR take all the chosen one's fame for destroying Enclave to themselves?
All this time and you didnt tell them you were actually a very tired Dragonborn
Loving this channel! All the Irish references are amazing.
I don't remember anyone actually referring to you as Courier in NV
this is literally just a cod campaign
Very silly and has no feel of Fallout whatsoever.
1:36 Damnnnn bro I felt that man’s pain through the phone lol
This is the first let's play I saw from you, you're really funny and I would love to see more :)
Ι think the destroyed the anclave is a reference to the another dlc mod called New California where they try to show how the courier started their story.
Your profile pic is exactly my reaction to this mod
Why did you feel the need to remind me of that cursed snowman movie?!?!? lol
Goodbye Call Me Kevin, welcome Micky D, My new mandatory random Irish subscription.
im was excited for this after seeing some video just talking about what we knew at the time which was the scope and vehicles and no writing yet. waited for the steam release for ease of use and thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Forgot to say, I'd be down to watch more of this
I would enjoy more videos from this mod
Love your videos man, keep it up!!!
I need to see this playthrough to the end. Hope you do it
I miss my psp, that thing was great
Same dude
Yeah, pcp is great. Can never have enough
Ghostbusters on psp
The whole Courier thing was what ruined the mod for me. The exact reason in this video and Portland would be a month travel to Nevada in Fallout and nobody in Portland would give a hoot about anything in Nevada so even if you completed the main quest they wouldn't care much less know. The other thing that killed it was NCR, BOS, and Legion being involved in Portland instead of local factions.
This gives me vibes of the DLC where you go into a sim fighting the Chinese. I can't remember what is called cause it was a slog and I (frustratingly) rushed through it hating pretty much all of it.
Kudos to the people that worked on it though. They did a good job with implementing their vision of an expansion and obviously it has its adoring fans.
I haven't heard anyone mention Ray William Johnson in years, not sure I'm glad to remember he exists or not. Thanks I guess.
Ah yes the Frontier. I remember doing a fresh playthrough by using Viva New Vegas to get everything up and running. I had quite a lot of fun exploring the frontier. And right in the middle of it, even before I picked a side, the mod just flatly gave up on me and started endlessly crashing whenever I tried to walk some small distance away from where I had last saved.
I don’t recall seeing a ton of gfx stuff missing, so I think I still have the older version somewhere in my files.
Can someone remind me what the controversy was?
I think the quest name is a Sabaton song reference.
If you mean In the Army Now, it's a song by Status Quo from 1986.
You are absolutely right about Caravan
I enjoyed it for a mod anyways. Was refreshing to have something new after so long.
The frontier expects you to have already played all the dlc and then go to the frontier
I know this is an old video, and you won't see this comment, but ive been going through a lot of your content since I discovered you a week or two ago, really helps brighten my otherwise gloomy days, thanks for all the content man
Melee is my favourite build, idk why the they wouldnt have a decent melee option
5:00
That statement is... True. No one knows how to play it.
This is like playing Hunt Down the Freeman after your subscribers beg you to play a Half Life game.
Comparing them is an insult to the great HDTF.
This mod drags out like the entirety of Dungeon Lords
You don't bring up the GT4 pace car like that, it could trigger gamer PTSD flashbacks
full playthrough the frontier, but you need to play both the ncr and "brotherhood" endings, ncr for plot, brotherhood for logical ending
Oh my god, every single character greeting you with "Your the courier" is possibly the most annoying thing I've ever heard in a fallout game. And I've had to listen to the cazador buzzing for hours on end before...
I used to think I knew how to play caravan until I realised I actually didn't
more plz , i wanna see a whole playthrough !
it's been months since the frontier came out and it's still fun to dunk on it.
you should play more of the frontier!
The floor is hurting you because there are mines on it...
First time I heard about this mod I was like WOW, when I finally made time to get it ready, I looked up on some reviews and oh boi XD was I sad
Hardcase sounds like a guard from Oblivion
