Let me give you an example (Minor spoiler warning): About half way through the main story you will be sent to an old military base, where the 'big reveal /betrayal' happens (more on that later) and a horde of supermutants will chase you out of the facility. It weighs the enjoyment and the story down by a quite bit.

This is not entirely the mods fault, since its a problem with the engine itself, but like I said: thats probably why the base game didnt feature massive battles like this.

Between random crashes, massive lagspikes, frustrating aiming because of constant camerashaking caused by the sheer amount of granades thrown at you, getting blown up randomly by artillery in one mission, enemies sometimes spawning in front of you, annoying collision when trying to shoot over objects/cover and generally tedious combat make engagements in this mod simply put: annoying and boring. New Cali has multiple massivly huge battles, some with infinitly respawning enemies. Combat is far from perfect and has never been new vegas (or fallout 3s) strong suit, but it was engaging enough. The whole system (cripling bodyparts, VATS, sneaking, looting, different ammotypes, shooting weapons out of peoples hands, the way you use cover etc.) works best in these small engagements in my opinion. All of these things are only minor problems in the original game, since fights are limited to relativly small scale encounters, wich dont push the engine to much. I want you to remember that NV is an old game, with a very prone to crashing, pice of sh*t engine (even without mods), kind of sluggish, outdated combat and notoriously bad Ai. Well, its one of my major gripes with the mod. Why do I mention combat, even though New Cali is a mod that relies on the original games system? you may ask yourself right now. Iam gonna start with the mods biggest problem. So with a light spoiler warning and the reminder that the mod is still in open beta, here is my review (you can just skip to the end for a qucik summary): English is not my first language, so forgive spelling or grammar mistakes. The mods beta-release got kind burried underneth the shitstorm that is fallout 76 and I felt like sharing my opinion on it. I just finished my second playthrough of Fallout: New California.
