We will be conducting dialogue with members of the development team to hear their thoughts regarding the current situation and help make our decision more informed. ZuTheSkunk has since been removed from the Development Team and banned off of our Community Discord.
The items in question are deeply disturbing to the entire team, and we condemn them in the strongest sense. We have been recently notified that one of our developers, ZuTheSkunk, had posted animated pedophillic content on their personal artist accounts. Some deeply concerning news has emerged in the past few hours. What's more disturbing is the team's statement regarding the developer who posted the pedophilic content: The team had promised a consistency with series fiction pre-release, which isn't exactly congruent with the mod's inclusion of a Solid Snake cameo in which he asks if you'd like to see his "Liquid Snake." Even with a hypothetical absence of the mod's depraved sexual fantasies, it sounds like it's incredibly inconsistent with Fallout lore. Bestiality, rape, and an 18 year old girl named America that you can enslave and call "bitch" and "little slave girl" are just some of the criticisms lobbed against this thing. But some folks got their hands on the mod before it was removed, and it sounds like the whole thing is pretty wretched in some truly unimaginable ways. Initially I was bummed to hear that the team had been compromised in such a way, because I had been looking forward to checking this out and the news effectively torpedoed whatever interest I had. But just a couple days ago it was taken offline by the development team after it came to light that one of the developers had posted pedophilic content to their personal artist account. The mod launched on Nexus Mods last week and made headlines after its popularity crashed the website. On paper it seemed rather promising: a big, snow-covered open world set in Oregon, with a faction-heavy storyline, drivable vehicles, new weapons, and a fully-voiced script. You may have heard of Fallout New Vegas: The Frontier, but if you haven't here's the gist: it is (or was?) a massive expansion mod to Fallout New Vegas, the beloved RPG from Obsidian, that has been in development for 7 years.
