Before picking out an appearance or a name, you're given a massive binary choice. Starting as a new hero in Vault 18, Fallout: New California almost feels like a Choose Your Own Adventure at first. New California also includes a Fallout 2-styled interface revision, making dialogue and inventory screens nicer to look at. Launch the game as normal and you'll be greeted by a new title screen, and the New Game option will give you the choice to start either the New California story or a regular New Vegas campaign. All you need is Fallout: New Vegas installed (DLC optional but recommended), and to run the New California installer from Mod DB. Setting up Fallout: New California is as easy as it gets, thanks to a new version released recently with a smart installer.
