Solid fan entry

This mod, which the developers have been working on for 8 years, bridges the first three Fallout games and New Vegas. I managed to complete the game in such a way that it picks up directly where New Vegas begins, and it’s as though certain things have been further explained or make more sense – for example, how you survived being shot in the head. What I have to praise about this mod, apart from the audiovisuals, are the brilliantly written characters; Dr Freeman in particular, as your guru, was a joy to listen to. Good lines are complemented by the talented voice actors who brought them to life. Throughout the whole game, I can only recall one or two poorly voiced characters; the rest were done so professionally that you feel as though you’re playing a full-fledged game rather than a mod. Throughout the game, it really mattered which skills you invested in, and this actively influenced where and how your character could progress. I’d recommend investing in Charisma and the Science skill; conversely, I made very little use of Lockpicking. By the end, the various checks are so demanding that unless you’ve maxed out that particular skill, there’s no point even trying. The story itself didn’t quite match the quality of the individual characters – it wasn’t bad, but the creators couldn’t avoid copying certain elements from previous instalments: main Nemesis came across as very B-movie, much like the main antagonist in Wasteland 2 – those who’ve played it will know what I’m getting at – but the resolution itself was satisfying, even if some of the plot twists didn’t work quite as well as the developers would have liked, presumably due to their inexperience. Also, as I played the beta version, there are characters who initially seem set to be interesting companions – but as soon as you leave the vault, they’ve got nothing more to say – this is something the developers have promised to fix in the full release. And they were also right when they said about their own game that there’s nothing to do on the map – apart from the brilliantly executed and rich storyline, there are no side quests – the only side quests there were were boring fetch quests from a certain quartermaster at the NCR camp. I’ve heard that *Mafia* is structured in a similar way – there’s a beautifully crafted city, but apart from the story, there’s nothing to do there – and it’s the same here: stick to the story, otherwise there’s no point in running around the map. The developers are aware of this, and some volunteers have already come forward to help with the side quests – but as these will be created by people other than the team itself, who after so many years are tired and want to start working on their own game, the quality of future quests is questionable. They certainly won’t affect the main storyline, so you can forget about the kind of intricate interweaving of quests with the main storyline seen in New Vegas. Occasionally, you’ll come across poorly aligned textures or assets floating in mid-air on the map, but nothing that would make you unable to forgive that. Otherwise, it was well-optimized; the game crashed or froze on me a few times, but that could well be down to GameBryo (I had the same issue with Fallout 3 and New Vegas). Also, there is not a single character in the game yet who can repair your armour – so player.srm will be your best friend ;) Whole mod took me about 8–12 hours.

Feels like playing Fallout DnD as a mod!

This is a mod that was made primarily by just two developers. Yes they had help from artists, voice actors, etc, but it was only two people who did any work in the game's engine. Considering this is ultimately a fan game made on people's free time, this is an amazing experience! Yes there are bigger and more technically advanced mods that have more "content" and developers, but those mods lack the heart New California has. The best comparison I can make with Fallout: New California is that it feels just like playing a fallout themed tabletop role-playing game with a DM who happens to be your best friend. Is it very lore friendly? No. Is it as tonally consistent as a standard fallout game? Absolutely not. But it has a the same personality and charm as playing a casual game of DND. It doesn't try to take itself too seriously, New California knows it's a mod and it has fun with that. It is not for the faint of heart or the serious of temperament.

Controversial among oldheads

I was there on the mods discord channel when "Project Brazil" (working title) launched, and there were so many entitled Fallout fans that gave this community made and FREE mod a lot of flak, and in a way I get it. Lots of bugs, very low FPS in the early game, but I think in the end it came down to the story not being aimed at them personally. This story takes a more teenage drama kind of style at the beginning, and then after a while as you progress the story really opens up and yada yada yada, it ties very well into the beginning of Fallout: New Vegas as you wake up as a courier having been shot through the head. I really like what this mod tries to do, and I definitely think it's worth playing at least once. I probably 100 hours into this alone because I wanted to help report bugs here and there, but I also wanted to min-max and at the start of this game you were quickly branch off into very specific playstyles meaning a lot of potential restarts to try everything. But yeah, I can see why some don't like it as it has some teen drama stuff that people above 40 might not like :)

From a few years ago

It has a VERY strong first part of the story, and a fun multi-companion system that could be a good lesson for Bethesda. The larger hubs are very cool, too, but, once you leave the base, things get very empty really fast on the overworld. The ending is very interesting too, I found it somewhat reminiscent of Fallout 2. Also, I haven't played the main FNV campaing after, but it seems like you can find the former companions, and I was always curious for that. Time to install again.

Feels like an official Fallout Game

Long before the excellent Fallout: London was released, Fallout: New California proved that fans could produce something comparable to an official Fallout game. I was completely immersed in this mod from the start, and, since it serves as a prequel to New Vegas, it even enhanced my playthrough of New Vegas itself. If I had to make one observation, it was that, at least for the ending I chose, the balancing issues at the end of the mod seemed a bit off. However, there are reasons why you won't feel like a total cheater if you use tgm at the end, so if you need to use it, use it.
