Sweet! This is an easy one!

1) Simply add an X Marker Heading where you want the player to first spawn.
2) Give it a unique REF ID
3) Go to the quest that initializes the start of the game. I cant remember what it is called in NV but in F03 or Oblivion it was just called CharGen
4) Go to the first quest stage.
5) edit the line that says "Player.Moveto (Whatever the REF ID is)", Replace the REF ID with the one you created for your X Marker Heading.

Now when you start the game the CharGen quest initiates and checks the result script and sends the Player to the new X marker heading.

Good luck ;)

you might want to disable the rest of the quest though since it might want to run the char gen or even worse you wont trigger the ability to regain abilities of your char (it disables a lot at the start)

Oh yeah! I forgot to add that! And you will need to set up some kind of system for the player to choose his, name, skills,etc... I normally just use triggers set out infront of the player so when he walks into them the first one will be the name menu, the second will be skills, so on... You can also use a terminal or a timed script.
