Fallout fans can download a brand new mod for New Vegas which adds a little bit of Red Dead flavour to the game.
Fallout: New Vegas is my personal favourite of the franchise, as it has been for so many others, and I think part of that allure is down to how big the western vibes are in it.
There are certain moments in the game which feel like they’ve been plucked right out of films like The Good, The Bad and the Ugly or Once Upon A Time In The West.
I really love roleplaying as a cowboy, or gunslinger, or outlaw in this game, and there are plenty of mods which allow you to yee your haw in whatever way you see fit.

For A Few Brahmin More is a mod which adds brand new quests to Fallout: New Vegas with a little bit of cowboy spin on it. It essentially feels like a Red Dead Redemption experience.
The mod includes over 2,000 new lines of fully-voiced dialogue, with two main questlines and six side quests to complete.
There are also some new locations added with the mod, including two player homes, and many new weapons and armour.
“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 description for For A Few Brahmin More.
“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.”
Mod author Ashtonlp101 has been working on the project for around three years, and has used the mod to try adding a lore-friendly appeal to it while also focusing on the completely overlooked aspects of NCR politics.
“Yes, the story is political. Yes, it is undoubtedly an allegory of US western expansion. Games are political, stories are political,” they argue.
“That being said, I wrote this from a standpoint of finding some nuance between the two factions.
While it will be obvious to some, that one group is certainly less morally questionable than the other, I think the framing of this story may create some interesting moral dilemmas for NCR-oriented players.”
You can download For A Few Brahmin More for the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas from Nexus Mods now.
