Ranger Grant



Ranger Graham Grant is an NCR Ranger coordinating security during President Kimball's visit and speech.

Background
Grant is a long time NCR ranger, best described as the "shoot first, never ask questions" type of soldier, someone who doesn't mind going into combat, so long as his soldiers shoot alongside him. He was injured at one point, which may explain his aggressive nature. He also seems to enjoy and even volunteer for more dangerous missions.

Behind the scenes

 * During the quest You'll Know It When It Happens, contacting Grant via radio will include the option "We're all fine here now thank you, how about you?". This is a reference to a scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, when Han Solo answers a call for the now-dead detention level guards while in the process of rescuing Princess Leia from the Death Star.
 * At some point during development, Grant was instead an NCR Captain by the name of Graham. References to this name still exist, notably in his GECK Editor ID:.

Bugs

 * If you inform Ranger Grant in person after killing the Legion Sniper on the tower during the quest You'll Know When it Happens, or if you choose the "goodbye" conversation option before the quest, he will sound as if he is talking to you through a radio even though you are standing in front of him.
 * Another unknown bug is when you talk to him during the quest You'll Know When it Happens the only available conversation option is "goodbye".
 * Sometimes he says that they're preparing to protect the president, and the only dialogue option is "Goodbye". To fix this, reset Ranger Grant by typing then  and last.
