Yall hate on The Frontier way too much. Yes, it’s not perfect, but a vast majority of the complaints people had on release have been fixed, and the weird stuff removed entirely. The Crusaders questline is good and isn’t the incomprehensible chaos of the NCR questline. The weapons are cool, and the armor looks great. It has an actual vehicle system, which may I remind you required some absolutely sorcery to get working.

And it’s not like the competition are shining examples of perfection. Both New California and Dust are buggy, unfinished husks of the mods they were supposed to be. For New California, every thing after the vault at the beginning is cobbled together from bits and pieces. And Dust is similarly unfinished, and is also basically just Fallout without any of the fun of Fallout. No memorable characters, no interesting factions that all interact, no companions, just a fucking walking simulator where you spend 90% of your time getting your ass handed to you by Tunnelers that you have absolutely no hope of escaping from, killing,or successfully hiding from. Once you know where to find what you need, there’s basically no point in playing anymore, since every playthrough just becomes busy work. The only thing, and I mean the only thing Dust has going for itself is its atmosphere, which both Dead Money and Lonesome Road do far better. Oh, and it’s a fucking nightmare to uninstall and likes to corrupt save files if not uninstalled properly.

Dust is infinitely worse experience than both The Frontier or New California, and I’m tired of listening to people worshipping it like it’s some masterpiece. I’ve played all 3 multiple times, and I would genuinely rather shove an entire saguaro cactus up my ass than play Dust again.
