“I somehow suspect you'll be back to converse with me later.”

Poindexter is an NCR soldier and part of the Misfits living in Camp Golf in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

Poindexter is a self-serving know-it-all. 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 while earning a salary while serving.

Quests

For 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 then 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 him to work better with the squad with a speech check (40).

Effects of the player's actions

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.

Behind the Scenes

Poindexter's unused Caravan challenge dialogue

The following is based on Fallout: New Vegas cut content.

• Poindexter was intended to be a Caravan at one point during development. The dialogue option for this, along with the associated sound clip, remains in the game, but Poindexter himself is not a member of the faction necessary to use the dialogue. 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.
