Dr. Richards

Richards is NCR's primary medical director in 2281 at Camp Forlorn Hope. The Courier can help Dr. Richards find out who is stealing his supplies.

Background
He served the NCR as a medic during the first Hoover-Dam war.

Interactions with the player character
Richards could use some help in the medical wing of the camp. You could use your Medicine skill to heal the troops, or find some medical gear, or even lie about your skill and open up some throats with your trusty scalpel. Another option is to kill him for the Caesar's Legion leader Dead Sea.

When you talk to him and if you are a male he will say stuff like "Here my buttercup" which could mean he is gay or likes you 'a lot'. Or, he may be insane. (in a pseudo-stable way)

Appearances
Richards appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * It has been shown that Richards will occasionally call male Couriers names like 'my little buttercup'. It is unknown if this is deliberate.
