Location[]
The note is automatically obtained after finishing the campaign of New California and choosing to continue the playthrough in the New Vegas main game. It is given upon exiting Doc Mitchell's house. The specific version of the note obtained will be based on which faction was sided with, how the nuclear missile within Fort Daggerpoint was used, and for certain factions, whether they were abandoned at the ending or not.
Notes[]
- The "NCR, walked away" note version supersedes any previous decision made with the Fort Daggerpoint nuke; in other words, regardless of what was done with the missile, successfully convincing General Silverman to let the Star Player leave will lead to this note. However, the corresponding ending video will still show the nuke being launched.
- The "NCR, arrested" note version is the only one which can be given for more than one corresponding ending video; it will be given with either the NCR nuke launched or NCR nuke secured ending videos as long as the Star Player has Evil Karma when trying to convince Silverman. This also overrides the previous nuke choice if it was set to detonate within Fort Daggerpoint, as the video will instead show the nuke being launched.
