The doctor has a fair amount of medical equipment, as well as a laser pistol and ammunition in a metal box. There is no theft penalty for anything in the Doc's house. Once character creation is complete, the doctor will guide the Courier to a door that leads out into the town of Goodsprings, where he will give them a Vault 21 jumpsuit as well as a Pip-Boy 3000 and any pre-order bonus items. The doctor will then ask them to have a seat on his couch, where the Courier can tag three skills after word-association, personality profile, and Rorschach blot tests, and also select up to two traits. The Courier will then have the opportunity to assign their SPECIAL points through the Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester after walking across the room.
The doctor will ask the Courier their name and hand them a Reflectron to examine (and customize) their appearance. As the Courier's head begins to clear, they sit up to see Doc Mitchell, the man who fixed them up and is the owner of the aforementioned shack as well as the town's only doctor. The Courier finds themself inside Doc Mitchell's house. It has been a particularly bad evening, and the Courier has been rescued by Victor the Securitron. After the intro cinematic, the Courier wakes up with blurred vision in a small town called Goodsprings.
