Modder ‘ToxicWhiteout’ has created a new fan expansion for Fallout New Vegas called Dry Wells – Legion Expansion. This expansion gives you over 6 hours of gameplay, with more than 20 quests. It also has 35 fully voiced characters, new smaller factions, and more stuff. So, let’s dive in and see in more detail what it offers.
Dry Wells – Legion Expansion rebuilds the Dry Wells from the ground up. As such, it allows you to visit it before nuking it on Lonesome Road. This new area comes with new assets. It also expands upon Legion lands in Arizona.
The mod includes over 20 quests, both marked and unmarked. These quests range from small tasks, like delivering items, to bigger challenges like large battles. You’ll also be able to explore medium-sized dungeons. Players can also expect four questlines. Each of them has multiple parts. Two of these focus on the main Legion story, while another is about freeing slaves. There’s also a short questline where players can make choices for a new group called The Hunters’ Guild.
The modder claims that your choices will also affect the main quest. This should also increase the mod’s replayability. Or at least that’s what ToxicWhiteout claimed. I haven’t installed it, so I can’t comment on it.
Not only that but players can expect 35+ voiced characters. Plus, it will allow players to obtain a new home by completing the main questline. Also, it will allow you to learn about the Twisted Hairs tribe through hidden notes scattered throughout the map and see where they were betrayed.
In short, this is a cool fan expansion that a lot of Fallout NV fans will appreciate. So, if you are currently playing it, we highly recommend downloading the mod from this link.
The expansion also includes three optional files. The first one adds Desert Natural Weathers Climate to the Dry Wells area. The second is an audio mod that puts radios in Dry Wells that play Imperium Radio. The third file adds a footlocker to the player’s home, where you can find the armor of Gaius Magnus and other rewards. Needless to say, you should also install them.
If you are into Fallout: New Vegas, you can also try these other mods for it. For instance, this mod adds real-time reflections. Another one changes over 1,000 functions to make the game run smoother. Oh, and there’s a mod that reduces landscape texture seams. Plus, there’s a mod to make the game’s characters even smarter. Another must-have mod is this one which improves collision accuracy, and fixes/optimizes meshes. Earlier this week, we also shared this mod that updated the first-person movement animations.
In June 2024, we shared a mod that brought to the game some STALKER-like anomalies. Moreover, you can get this mod that adds physically-based vehicles to the game. And if you love quests, there’s a mod that gives you an endless supply of new ones. Let’s also not forget Visuals Improved Content Expanded Mod. This mod fills the surroundings of Vegas to make it feel more like a real city.
There are also some cool fan-made expansions for New Vegas. Four of them are being made as we speak. These are Fallout: Broken City, Fallout Van buren Remake, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico and Star Wars Open Worlds. On the other hand, we have these DLC-sized mods that you can grab and play right now. These fan expansion mods are Fallout New California, Fallout: Free Cheyenne Demo, Fallout New Vegas: Out of Bounds and Fallout The Frontier.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

This game is amazing really and I need to get back into it after years, I think it's got 5 or so official dlc expansions amazing game and the mods can make it even better.
you dont say i have it with 400 mods.
Yeah but at some point, somebody should release an all-in-one setup with tons of mods to make things easier and more importantly FASTER for those of us who just don't have the time to manage such massive games anymore.
I know there are some "modlists" online, but they still require you to download every mod one by one, plus the dependencies, etc.
I realize that the point of modding is to make a game unique, customized to your personal needs, but since I don't have time, I wouldn't mind an easy all-in-one solution, even if I disagreed with some of the chosen mods.
yeah stupid rules about not allowing posting the mods outside the nexus, who cares fck the nexus.
You can download vortex through nexus and it has mod collections with one click download. With some troubleshooting sometimes
Guess I'll just play this, STALKER and Mount&Blade forever.
cant wait for nova arizona to be finished.
man having choice paralysis is such a weird feeling. Its definiltey something I want to dedicate the time to trying out but htere are just so many other newer experiences to try out. might have to make a month for playing mods or something next year.
I read about plenty of vaguely interesting games but most of the time i just don't have the interest of trying it out, with rare exceptions.
Agreeable. For me, a lot of the time, I already planned to play something else or I find the barrier to entry, mostly the time involved with tinkering or sometimes the price, just isn’t worth it.
One i’m currently playing is Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness. It was released in 2022 and i just forgot this game existed until some weeks ago. It’s an interesting story based survival game, i woudn’t have played it have i not watched the anime, which is great.
That’s what’s up man. I’ll have to check out the anime first probably too. I know of its existence and I have a few friends who did really enjoy it but I was probably watching what ever popular shounen was going at the time. Are the survival mechanics similar to any more popular survival games as a reference?
just health and hunger, you have to buy/craft food/weapons to survive, the problem is weapons are made of paper,check mods if it picks your intrest, but do this with all games.
Would you say it follows the anime to the point where you dont have to watch it or is it more for fans of the series?
The anime is a 4 hour tutorial, watch the anime, then if you are interested in the game, download a 100 % savegame and play the “deep in abyss” mode, which is a brand new story in the same universe.
Infinitely more interesting than this Fallout London thing.
Have you tried Fallout London yet? I haven't yet but I've been hearing good thing so far.
