Hi, FROST developer here. It is a nice video, thank you for making it :D I need to correct you on one small thing I find the portrayal of the torch issue in the "Not many bugs or issues" section a very questionable though. Classic Holstered Weapons (CHW) is by all means an external mod, that has the crash issue with the torch and other weapons. It has nothing really to do with FROST, it is more of a CHW issue (which can easily be solved!) There is a premade FROST patch for CHW, which is also part of the Below Zero FROST modding guide. Mentioning that it requires custom ini editing is pretty misleading, there is no need for that as a pre-made version of that ini already exists and can be installed like any other mod with no other steps necessary. It is just that easy. So the CHW thing is not related to FROST, rather to a CHW quirk, and you not noticing that the Below Zero guide tells you to install that patch :P I would appreciate a pinned post clarifying this, to avoid confusion/misinformation.
I'll pin your post, since you've explained it better than I could. I agree, it's not your mod's fault; CHW (especially the newer version) has problems with a lot of weapons. I'm sorry if I made it seem like FROST is at fault, or that fixing the issue is harder than it really is.
@@Yan-tz9pn Yes, but its not worth it. The F3 player base is relatively small nowadays, and such an overhaul would also not be compatible with TTW (which is often used by people), and generally the game
@@Redawt ah fair enough. Could you divulge what you would have done or are you keeping those ideas for another possible mod? Apologies if my English is direct
If you're considering playing Frost, I recommend booking a session with a tharapist for the day after you play so you can have someone to cry too about you having to kill helpless suvivors.
I think you haven't been to Downtown, the only friendly settlement in Frost. There you can find a lot of lore notes and if you have frost plus addon made by BSJprophet, you will even be given missions by certain npcs.
FROST with all its official patches and addons add an MCM menu where you can adjust all of said features and settings you suggested using GCM to change at the end. This includes sanity accuracy debuffs, atmospheric radiation, and so on.
Fallout 4's CK was released nearly a month ago at this point in its lifespan. By now it also had Automatron and Wasteland Workshop DLCs. Far Harbor's release was less than a week away. People were angry at the slow update schedule and lack of DLC for Fallout 4, but so far Starfield is much worse! Zero new content yet, and none of those major QOL improvements they promised either. No city maps, no new ways to travel, and no mod support.
Hey @pancorium thanks for all the great videos! Filling a void left for sure on RUclips recently, I thought I'd post an idea for a mod battle that might be interesting to some people: combat rifle fixes, like remeshes or some of the micalov replacer options
This was a really great review and I think you covered a lot of the key points to be wary of for a new player. I do wish you had gotten to experience the story because I personally find it to be one of the strongest aspects of the mod. There are several moments where I would find a note or corpse that would drop a massive lore bomb that ties into the base game and even the role of your own character in Frost. I dont think I've ever experienced being this interested in a mod's story before!
I really think you should consider either making a follow up video or at least look into the lore of this mod as it's really quite interesting! I really appreciate the way that Frost tells its story so subtlety while still having a clear present narrative
Frost is cool (😎), it's just a bit goalless since the main 'quest line' is very decentralised and you might just forget what step you're on. And when you find a settlement and have storage it gets quite easy. Also, the Wabbajack modlist is the best Frost modlist
Are there any other huge survival difficulty overhauls like this that fit into the base setting a little better? I don't think I want everything snowy but I like how brutal the radiation system and difficulty sound.
13:30 Technically there is A super mutant but you'd have to install Dark Calling which repurposes Super Mutant locations into unique encounters Also, yeah, there are 4 storylines that you can follow in order to reach some sort of "ending" in Frost. If you ever go back to it, I recommend joining the Metro Federation, finding Downtown, and following their storyline since it allows you to experience the 3 other ones as you're doing theirs
1:06 It does have a surprisingly deep story-line with multiple factions, there's even an abduction story-arc where you wake up to find yourself shanghaied in Far Harbor (and Nuka-World if you go for Frost Plus add-ons).
Few days ago i was wondering how my game suddenly crash this mutch (on my current mod list my game is so stable that i cant even belive it. last night i play 8 hours without any crashes) but i finally figure out that nvidia was release new drivers couple days earlier, updating drivers fix the crash issue.
the only issue i have with poluted climate wheaters is that awfull grey filter. no matter if its snowing or clear sunny whether,its always grey. its like plaing on a early 90 ish monocrome monitor.........
I love frost but I never managed to connect with it even after 15 hours it still didnt click for me sadly maybe I can give it a shot with some other mods along side it
I havent never play frost and while this is good idea im not see myself playing it without heavily modifying it. Like first pipe weapons oh my why. I can understand those in commonwealth but on nuclear winter right after bombs drop no just no. heavily limited ammo, world have just ended if you are ever gonna find lots of ammo and weapons is on this point but need to use melee weapons because dont have enough ammo, no thank you. Should allways wear gasmask outside yet enemies dont seem to have problem not using it.
I nullified Fallout 4's survival to vanilla "hard" with just thirst, hunger and diseases, I can't stand miserably punishing hardcore survivals, I like lite variants that make you think more about the mechanics in the game that were previously ignored
Could you cover FNV mods or TTW mods aswell It would be great to see someone finally Review the mods for those games and not just suck them off while they brick your save game in the background - im looking at you Dust
13:08 and ghouls have broken as fuck animations and shitty scripted "evasion" since vanilla. Their behavior reminds me moded snorks from stalker anomaly - broken, frustrating, hard to hit and fast
I played FROST and then when Fallout 76 first launched in the totally feature empty way it did, I remember thinking Naugrim managed to make his totally dead world seem so much more alive than that absolute launch mess.
I did try out Frost yesterday and instantly die in first encounter. I would love a mod like Frost but for Vanilla game so you dont have main quest but you could do side quest and make it compatibille with SS2. And no dmg changes and other stuff so it would be compatibille with other mods. Frost is very bad when consern compatibility. Simply what i would like is Vanilla survivour Sandbox as i love doing settlements,side quest and just explore but i hate main quest line i would keep the fraction but make them in a way that you are not able to do any main quests or something similiar or remove them entayrly. There are 3 mods which do something similiar but they are outdated or do it porly. 1.There is a mod which change all Humans to Feralls which is totally stupid as there is no reason to visit Diamond City and there are no doctors or traders. 2.Comonwealth operator no main quest but it is outdated and have some problems from what people report. 3.Is Frost which is pretty much totally uncompitibille with all mods and make it unussable.

Ever consider a fo3 version?

Is frost broken due to the next gen update or am I able to download it?
"If this keeps up I'm going to have to become a Morrowind channel" do not threaten me with a good time

I was thinking about playing frost today, this video really helped me decide if I want to play it, thanks!
It’s worth it.
babe wake up a new Pancuronium video dropped
Thanks for suffering through this mod. I didn't finish this myself but I appreciate the work that went to it.
Also +1 to becoming a Morrowind channel.
Oh thank god another mod review my boss is asking me things and im trying to ignore her
Sir I have to Thank you for this mod series. It has helped me immensely with my recent Fallout 4 Reinstall. Keep then Coming and excellent work.

Very interesting to watch as I never tried it , thanks for sharing !
And yet..... still no sign of the Starfield's Creation Kit ^^
honestly, who cares? mods arent going to save starfield
Mods won't fix that damn Main quest for sure yes ^^ But I'm curious to see what would be possible to do. Like new dungeons and stuff
@@ph0759I don't like Starfield, but people said the same about fallout 4 and that game got some of the best mods from Bethesda games

Here's hoping for a Horizon review. Really interested in that one as well as Frost.

outro in this one was really cute, nice stuff pancake

Very straightforward and informative review, would love to hear your opinions on the Horizon mod
PLEASE BECOME A MORROWIND CHANNEL
5:15 it's ok, beer isn't really alcohol.
1:06 It does have a surprisingly deep story-line with multiple factions, there's even an abduction story-arc where you wake up to find yourself shanghaied in Far Harbor (and Nuka-World if you go for Frost Plus add-ons).
you should really try frost with gasmasks of the wasteland. its super immersive and deeply enhances the resource managing ingame
Very underrated channel. Subbed!
Underrated channel.
I hope you'll review Mutant menagerie.
Thanks!
i tried a snow mod a few monthes ago. it took me forever to figure out why snow was crashing my game too. this is promising
Few days ago i was wondering how my game suddenly crash this mutch (on my current mod list my game is so stable that i cant even belive it. last night i play 8 hours without any crashes) but i finally figure out that nvidia was release new drivers couple days earlier, updating drivers fix the crash issue.

no matter if its snowing or clear sunny whether,its always grey.
its like plaing on a early 90 ish monocrome monitor.........
Can you review combined arms please also your literally the best fallout RUclipsr and I’ve been binging your videos all day
Sorry for the late reply but sure, I'll add it to the long list of videos to get working on. No promises as to when it'll come out.
I love frost but I never managed to connect with it even after 15 hours it still didnt click for me sadly maybe I can give it a shot with some other mods along side it
Frost is great, hopefully you'll try DUST someday, pretty glitchy compared to Frost but still very good
hey Pancuronium
Frost was really good, many bugs tho, and I think a lot of that has been fixed by a team on Discord, as well as many add-ons or patches etc for mods.
Nice. I love your content.
I havent never play frost and while this is good idea im not see myself playing it without heavily modifying it. Like first pipe weapons oh my why.

Okay but now I wanna see what you'd do with a Morrowind video 🤔
I nullified Fallout 4's survival to vanilla "hard" with just thirst, hunger and diseases, I can't stand miserably punishing hardcore survivals, I like lite variants that make you think more about the mechanics in the game that were previously ignored
the inverse difficulty curve was a problem for horizon and the base game itself and its why i never beat fallout 4 even though i have 690 hours in it
Morrowind channel you say?
I will have you know, deer are in fact that god damned stupid irl. They seem like they were made to be easy prey for anything remotely threatening
Fatigued is cured by sleeping a lot , Your welcome
Wonder if Frost could be ported over to Xbox Series X?
have you done damn apocalypse yet??
Can I play Frost on my xbox s and how?
Can you do a mod battle for water/ water texture mods?
I've only ever used Vivid Waters but I'll take a look at some other water textures and see if comparing them makes for a good video.
@@PancuroniumB Thank you very much
Can you review Lost World
I don't have Nexus Premium, so I don't have the patience to download that whole pack.
@@PancuroniumB fair enough 👍
Could you cover FNV mods or TTW mods aswell It would be great to see someone finally Review the mods for those games and not just suck them off while they brick your save game in the background - im looking at you Dust
Freaking NVIDIA, thats why i switched to AMD and found my peace of mind
I'm AMD team. But they're both the same shit actually, it's more about your luck.
@@caiooca5793I agree with you but at least AMD card are cheaper
Would you ever port this to xbox?
Theres no way to do anything like this for the series x huh? 🤦🏽♂️

Tried DUST?
Several years ago I tried it for a few hours, but I don't remember much about it.
first
