The Legion and NCR are facing off, just as they did in the base game. The interplay between factions is a big part of Fallout: New Vegas and The Frontier carries on that tradition. The development team purposefully chose this location to contrast the environments seen in Fallout to date, so even hardened New Vegas vets should find it a fresh experience. This mod has players journeying to snowy Portland, Oregon. However, the territory the courier visits is a far cry from the sands of the Mojave. It attempts to fit within the Fallout canon and takes place at roughly the same time as the Fallout: New Vegas DLC. While most mods seek to add chunks of new territory, new weapons, or new armor, The Frontier has evolved into what's essentially an entirely new Fallout title.
