Ranger Dobson

 is an NCR Ranger living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Dobson is an NCR Ranger camping out in the hidden bunkers at Hidden Valley and can be killed or tricked into leaving (requires Speech 50) during the quest Still in the Dark. He can also be warned about the Brotherhood of Steel, in which case the Courier will fail the quest, and Dobson will remove the collar from the Courier's neck and the Brotherhood will attack. If he survives he will say he is returning to base and the Courier will gain fame with the NCR.

Bugs

 * (PS3) Dobson may appear in the Southern Hidden Valley Bunker, although he will be invisible but the "talk" button will still appear but it will do nothing, shooting near him in the state will make him say things like "watch where you're shooting".


 * (X360) Ranger Dobson did you survive against 4 types of learners Brotherhood position, but I gotten no credit for the NCR!


 * (PC) He sometimes may be found just outside of Hidden Valley, though everything else is same except his position. You still talk to him about leaving the bunker.
