Ricky

"Deadeye" Ricky is a Psycho addict who accompanies the Happy Trails Trading Company to Zion Canyon in 2281.

Background
Ricky is a compulsive liar with a Psycho addiction. He got a Vault "two-two" jumpsuit and a "pit-boy" from a dead prospector that came from Zion, and the symbol of good loot is why he's returning with the Happy Trails' expedition. Ricky says he grew up near Dayglow, stating one of his useful skills to be "a third nut that glows in the dark" because of that.

Other interactions

 * The player can call out all his lies when the appropriate checks come up in conversation. After all of his dialogue is used up the player can call him out on his lies and tell him he's not cut out for the expedition and can either tell on him to Jed Masterson or have him carry some of the player's gear.


 * With a medicine check the player can see that he's a Psycho addict and can push it further by asking if he brought enough Psycho to last the trip. The player can then sell Ricky some Psycho or Fixer, up to 10 hits of each, for 30 caps per Psycho and 80 caps per Fixer. If this check is done at the very start of the add-on, it is another way to convince Ricky to ditch the trip in case of a withdrawal in the middle of the trip.


 * He tells the player that he killed a BoS Paladin by firing through the eye slit by using an 11mm submachine gun, which is a lie, the player can respond that the eye slit is bullet-proof if the player has Power armor training, or there is no such thing as an 11mm submachine gun with a Guns skill of 45.
