A "Cowboy Coalition" battle NCR corporate imperialism in this freshly released Fallout: New Vegas quest mod
Yee haw. If you've ever thought Fallout: New Vegas is a little low on folks in stetson hats whose spurs jingle, jangle, jingle, then this new quest mod will almost certainly be in your saloon. That's provided you're up for an unapologetically political story about NCR-backed Brahmin barons facing resistance from groups of local ranchers keen to avoid having their steads swallowed up by big business.

The mod's dubbed 'For A Few Brahmin More' and is a project veteran New Vegas modder Ashtonlp101 has been working on for "around three years", presumably with Clint Eastwood westerns playing on repeat in the background. While they say it's "a small and focused story" in comparison to some of their other works - which to this point have included Project Mojave and Saving Camp Searchlight, this latest mod still looks pretty damn chunky. I mean, it has over 2,000 lines of fully-voiced dialogue according to the description.
"During the events of Fallout: New Vegas, an infamous Brahmin Baron named Buck Booth begins his operation in the Mojave, aiming to set up his eventual New Vegas empire," reads the setup for the mod's two main questlines. "However, the local ranchers and cowboys are showing resistance to the gentrification of their native land, and have formed a local Cowboy Coalition to end NCR corporate imperialism. The conflict has reached a turning point, with the Courier's intervention."
The action kicks off with you stumbling across flyers for the coalition in Goodsprings, Primm, or Novac. You can either head off to enlist with the group or heed the word of a Booth Baron agent who approaches you shortly afterward with a different proposal. Ashtonlp101 wrote that they've "put forth the best effort and foresight possible to ensure this story can be approached in any way the player desires", and to make sure it "may create some interesting moral dilemmas for NCR-oriented players" by not shying away from getting into nitty gritty of the faction's politics.
"Yes, the story is political," they added. "Yes, it is undoubtedly an allegory of US western expansion. Games are political, stories are political. That being said, I wrote this from a standpoint of finding some nuance between the two factions." That certainly sounds like the sort of deep storytelling and willingness to interrogate what makes the parties vying for wasteland control that played a big role in establishing vanilla New Vegas as my favourite modern Fallout.
Add in six side quests, a bunch of custom location interiors to serve as a backdrop, two new player homes you can end up with the keys to - plus new weapons and armour to collect - and you've got an extra adventure that sounds well worth giving a try.
If you fancy adding it to your load order next time you fire up New Vegas, you'll need to grab the New Vegas Script Extender along with its JIP LN, JohnnyGuitar, kNVSE Animation, and ShowOff xNVSE plugins.
