So there I am... Beataman, my melee alt, doing the quests as I usually do cause I enjoy it.

So after reading the bill board in NCR next to the Sheriffs office I head over to the ranch to do the quests for the man there.

The first one is to make sure his brahmin stop being scared. Basically you are lead to the location of his ranch where -17-  brahmin are basking in the sun.

Before long a bunch of kids show up and scare the animals and it is this that makes them agitated etc... you deal with the kids (either by killing them if you are a calous bastard [shame on you!] or by paying them off or by scaring them/explaining how its bad for the moomoos).

And then you are about to leave...

And you think...

Wait a second... I actually do need 10 hides to make me my tent... and there are many of those bastards here!

So you proceed to kill the silly beasts and end up with 17 brahmin hides.

TADAH!

I hope this helps you with finding how to make a shelter!

And then you return back to ranch and the guy will thank you for this action by...killing you? And idk but try to imagine a newibe fighting off 17 brahamin... Shread time

And btw this is a spoiler

Pretty sure they only attack 1 by one not as a whole.

[Ymeogamaouas]

They dont attack all together (which makes sense, they are domesticated brahmin not wild ones).

And basically the guy doesnt attack you when you come back. Which makes sense as he doesnt magically know what you did. He sends you out there and you return with the story about the kids and he says he will from now on send his own men to keep the place safe... so dont see how he would "know" you killed all them brahmins.

[Hects Hakal]

Okay you got me but still he would find out eventually- at least in RL

[Ymeogamaouas]

Oh definetly!

I wouldnt mind a scripted encounter like in the case of the guy in the Library in Boneyard.

Where if you dont kill the guy and his kid and lie to him (and he sees through it) then he sends his goons after you!

So sure it could be a similar thing where there is a dialogue option.

"Yes it was some kids everything is safe now"
"I suspected as much (he actually says this), I will put on some men there from now on. By the way... are my poor cattle okay now?"
"Er.... yes... all of them are perfectly fine..."
"You bastard! You killed them didnt you? You better run out of here cause you will pay for this!"

And also it should block you from doing his next quest!

[Hects Hakal]

Brilliant idea! Now go to the quest competition and make it happen cuz the devs wont

[JovankaB]

You kill brahmins of one of the most powerful men in NCR and get away with it?
This should be fixed :/

[Ymeogamaouas]

You can kill the president and still re-enter the city...

You can kill an NPC and they appear again after some time...

Realism < Gameplay...

[JovankaB]

In case of game mechanics, yes realism < gameplay. But you are mistaking mechanics with actions of your character.

Nobody forces you to kill president or slaughter brahmins of Westin.
Exactly because of this freedom your characters should take logical consequences of their actions in game world.

[Lon Chaney]

Last time I killed Tandi, my rep was messed up pretty bad, if I remember correctly.  So you can't really just kill her, with no consequences.
Maybe killing those cows could be the same way.  You lose 25 rep with each hit, like you do when you hit/shoot an npc in a city.

[Hects Hakal]

You can throw brahamin shit at any NPC whitout reaction
