Ain't That a Kick in the Head (quest)

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
You wake up in Goodsprings with a nasty headache and a bullet taken out of your skull. You need to find out who did this to you, and where your package went. This quest serves as the tutorial and character creation.

Detailed walkthrough
You wake up with blurred vision. As your head begins to clear you sit up to see Doc Mitchell, the man who has saved your life. He will ask the player several questions which is the equivalent of the G.O.A.T from Fallout 3. You will have the opportunity to enter your name, define your looks, assign your SPECIAL points, and tag three skills.

Once complete, the doctor will walk the player out of the house and into the town of Goodsprings. Before leaving, he will give the player a Vault 21 jumpsuit as well as a Pip-Boy 3000. A good thing to do, before leaving, is to pick up any junk that the doctor has, this will help you to sell them in the future for caps. The doctor has a good amount of medical items and a laser pistol along with some ammo.

(note) before you leave the doc's house the game will offer you the choice to play the game in hardcore mode. It says that you get a reward if you beat the game with hardcore mode on threw out the whole time you play. The reward is only a achievement/trophy. You do not get any in game reward for completing the game in hardcore mode.

Behind the scenes
Ain't That a Kick in the Head is the name of a Dean Martin song. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station New Vegas Radio.
