Notes
- Boone will pass up to talk with the Courier if either their relationship with the NCR is below neutral or if their reputation with the Legion is higher than with the NCR. In both cases, wearing a NCR armor volition make it possible to talk with him once more.
- If the Courier uses Boone'south beret to repair any other beret before having him impale Jeannie May Crawford or anyone else, the quest is unfinishable.
- If the Courier accidentally gives Boone their Recon beret, it volition disappear and he won't like it if they take his (information technology is just invisible in the inventory, one tin take him and he'll still take one). This is because the Recon berets are stackable, so fifty-fifty though the Courier take more than than ane, it volition still show that they only take one.
- If the Courier asks the wrong person to go and stand in front of the dinosaur, just let that person walk over, simply do non equip the beret. Boone volition non shoot. At this point, whoever the Courier sent over will walk back, and they can go and ask someone else to get and stand up there.
- After Jeannie May Crawford is killed, talk to Cliff Briscoe. "I think it's time we give something back to you" will appear in his dialogue box, only actually he says, "I think it'south fourth dimension we give everything back to yous" invoice.
- This dialogue will only happen if the Courier has an Accepted reputation in Novac.
- If the Courier choses Jeannie May as Boone's target, the next time they speak to Cliff Briscoe, he will inform them that he is the new proprietor of the cabin and gives yous the cardinal. The Courier will have the option to say "I killed Jeannie May. Practise I even so become my discount?", although Boone was her killer. Should the Courier cull this option, they will be asked why, and each possible reply produces slightly different reactions, but he will not turn hostile, nor volition the Courier's reputation with Novac be damaged in whatsoever mode. Indeed, given the nature of the situation, he seems rather untroubled, presenting the player with the usual dialogue choices.
- After request effectually about Boone's wife, information technology is fairly logical to assume that Crawford sold her and then Boone would stay in town, as she is repeatedly mentioned to want to get out Novac and go back to New Vegas. Yet, it is hinted through dialogue with Jeannie May Crawford that her motives were more than personal. Once acquiring the evidence, speak to Jeannie May and select "Where's the quickest way out of this dump?" Jeannie volition launch into a tirade virtually 'finicky types' who criticize her boondocks, indicating that the reason she sold Boone's wife was that she made some similar comments. This is as well evidenced by various Novac not-player characters who testify to Carla'southward callous attitude.
- After completing the quest with the evidence confronting Crawford, the Courier can steal from the Dino Dee-lite Front end desk office and Jeannie May'due south house with no loss of Karma.
- After dandy the safe, take the 'Bill of Sale' notation only; stealing the other items may result in some Novac infamy. The Courier tin have everything later on completing this quest, notwithstanding.
- Keeping Boone'south 1st Recon beret on later he shoots Crawford volition allow it to remain in the Courier'south inventory, and if worn will occasionally exist commented on by non-thespian characters.
- If the Courier choses to impale Crawford by themselves, the quest cannot be proceeded. The reason for this becomes clear when asking Boone, "What do I do if I find this person?" He responds by saying, in part, "...And I'll accept intendance of the rest. I need to do this myself." revealing that Boone needs to verbal revenge.
- If Boone shoots Jeannie May, Novac settlers will comment well-nigh it when spoken to.
