Bugs

 * There is a bug where if you give the beret back to Boone once he is your follower, it will disappear from the game.


 * The 1st Recon Beret's condition, Seemingly never degrades. (Is this a bug?  Or intended, due to an inability to repair it?)


 * A user may not gain NCR fame while wearing the beret upon the completion of quests that grant NCR fame. (Needs verification, I wear it continuously since getting Boone as a companion, and have no problems getting my NCR fame.)  Confirmed that this doesn't affect Steam PC version 1.01, NCR status went from "accepted" to "liked" after completing a Crimson Caravan quest while wearing the beret.
