9 Comments

The team behind Fallout: New California, a massive mod that adds an all new story with hours of voiced dialogue, a new world, and multiple branching narrative paths, has released a new version of it. Fallout: New California is described as an unofficial prequel to New Vegas, and its latest version fixes numerous bugs.

For instance, patch 2.2.2 removes blocking condition from CH1 ALPHA terminal that was preventing force field power down option from showing, fixes a faction problem with switching sides from pipe works to Upper apartments, fixes the zombie firemen and their OP loot by removing them and more.

In Fallout: New California you play as the kid from Vault 18 and you’ll face the New California Republic under president Wendell Peterson, the New Reno Mob’s Bishop Family, the remnant Shi Clans, The Enclave Leonidas Squadron, the Super Mutant Army, and the bloodthirsty Raider Alliance. Through them all you’ll choose your path from SPECIAL dialog options, acquired PERKs, and travel with 8 possible companions depending on your choices.

Here are the key features of Fallout New California:

  • An Alternate Start in Vault 18 with a New Player Character and Main Quest.
  • A New Intro Video to really give it that “New Game” feeling.
  • An Ornate Main Quest Line with Compelling Side Quests rich in Fallout & Character Lore.
  • Hours of Voice Acting recorded at pro-quality in Radian-Helix Media’s Tucson, Az Studio.
  • A Very Large Worldspace in California – The Black Bear Mountain National Forest.
  • An Epic War between The Super Mutants, The Raider Alliance, The Enclave, and The New California Republic.
  • A Pirate Radio Station DETH 981 with 2 New DJs and Quest + Crafting + Perk Unlocking Segments.
  • A News Radio Station called NCRPR – New California Republic Radio – with quest updates in the News.
  • 6 Potential Human Companions and 2 Robot Companions available depending on player choices.

Do note that the following patch notes may contain spoilers, therefore we strongly suggest avoiding them if you haven’t completed the mod yet. Those interested can download this new version of Fallout New California from here.
