It’s almost time for the second season of Fallout — Lucy and the Ghoul descend upon Robert House’s fantasyland New Vegas on December 17. However, just five days before that, there is a very cool Fallout: New Vegas custom campaign releasing.
Fallout: Long 15 is an NCR-themed expansion set on the eponymous Long 15 highway between the Mojave and The Divide, the setting of Lonesome Road. In that expansion, Long 15 is only accessible if the Courier drops a nuclear bomb on the location, meaning everything is irradiated and every denizen of the area is ghoulified.
For the Republic
Fallout: Long 15 takes place before that destructive choice is made during Lonesome Road, meaning the highway is still a thriving trade route operated by the New California Republic during the course of the custom campaign.
Long 15 has already released an hour of footage, complete with very impressive voice acting. The NCR has an immense presence on the highway, manning the various forts and outposts along the road. As ever, there are also a couple of eccentric characters for the player to interact with.
A compelling reveal trailer (above) was released a few days ago, and it’s honestly a very impressive sizzle reel. The trailer is accompanied by some fantastic voice acting, including from one of those aforementioned eccentric characters.
Long 15 is actually a follow-up to Dry Wells, the first expansion from mod author ToxicWhiteout. During Lonesome Road, the Courier can drop a bomb on either Long 15 (NCR-controlled) or Dry Wells (Legion-controlled). The expansion Dry Wells is similar to Fallout: Long 15, in that you can visit the titular area before apocalypse befalls it.
Dry Wells adds additional content to Legion-controlled areas of vanilla New Vegas, with ToxicWhiteout promising approximately 6 hours of content. Long 15 is set to be much larger than its predecessor, with 20 hours of content and a map that’s ten times larger than Dry Wells.
Between Long 15, Fallout 76’s upcoming show-themed expansion Burning Springs and the second season of the Fallout television show, December is set to be a heavenly time for fans of Bethesda’s (and Interplay, Black Isle and… Obsidian’s) post-apocalyptic world.
