Quick walkthrough

Unmarked Quest: Find Mr. Nixon

Listen to Curtis.

Go behind Cassidy's bar and search for Mr. Nixon doll.

Return to Curtis.

Give Curtis the doll back.

Destroy the doll.

Reward: 100 XP -3/+3 Karma, wrench (if the doll is given back)

Detailed walkthrough

Young Curtis can be found standing south of the Spittoon in the Vault City courtyard. He has lost his little Mr. Nixon doll somewhere in the vicinity.

Search to the northeast of where Curtis is standing and you should see some stacked wooded boxes next to Cassidy's bar. The doll is hidden between the wall and the crates. Grab it and take it back to the boy.

From here either:

• Give the doll back to Curtis for positive Karma.
• Rip the doll into tiny pieces and laugh in his face for negative Karma.

Either way, the same reward is essentially given.

Notes

• After completing the quest, Curtis says multiple things in the form of floats. One of them points you to a pile of rocks nearby that hides a wrench. The Chosen One will need it for the Deliver pliers (tools) and a wrench to Valerie quest.
• If Help Charlie was completed prior, the family will move from Vault City and one will be unable to talk to Mr. Nixon's owner even if found.
