Background Edit

Poindexter is a self-serving know-it-all type. He figures the best way to survive his time as a conscript in the NCR army is to play dumb and hide out in the rear at Camp Golf and earn a salary while serving. He is also very condescending to anyone he views as less intelligent than him, which is pretty much everyone.

Interactions with the player character Edit

Interactions overview Edit

Quests Edit

Flags of Our Foul-Ups: Poindexter will tell the player that altering the records in the Camp's computer system would make it seem that they're doing better than they actually are. If the player is taking O'Hanrahan's advice and convincing the squad to work together, the player will need to convince Poindexter to work better with the squad with a Speech check of 40.

No, Not Much: You are required to help the Misfits in order for Camp Golf to send help to Bitter Springs.

Effects of player's actions Edit

Following Poindexter's advice and cheating the system will ultimately lead to the Misfits' laziness catching up with them when the Legion attack Camp Golf. Those who survived and fled to the Mojave Outpost will be court-martialed and hanged from the ranger monument.

Additionally, Poindexter does not carry any money, does not have a Caravan deck specific to him, and his remaining dialogue option does not include the script necessary to initiate a game of Caravan.
