Curtis (Fallout 2)

Curtis is a child in the Vault City courtyard who has lost his Mr. Nixon doll. The doll is located behind a wall on the right side of the bar, in the corner. Return the doll to him and you have two options: "ritual dismemberment" or giving it back to him. Do the latter and listen to him speak to it for a while. He will make mention of burying his father's wrench in a pile of rocks behind the bar. Search the rocks to locate the wrench (which can be used later as part of a quest). The wrench will NOT appear until you've heard Curtis mention it while speaking to his Mr Nixon doll. (Note: The doll itself looks like a small box on the ground so it can be easy to miss if you don't know where to look). If you are not around when he does, don't worry: the "dialogue" loops itself, so you can listen to it as many time as you want. Iterestingly, Curtis says his father (Joshua) will be mad if he finds out Curtis dug the wrench; however, getting Joshua out of the Corrections Center doesn't trigger anything. Probably because Curtis will lie anyway ("It's better to just lie, like you told me Mr. Nixon.")

Appearances in games
Curtis appears only in Fallout 2. Just like all other children, he was cut from some European editions of the game.
