Ambassador Dennis Crocker



Dennis Crocker is the ambassador to New Vegas for the New California Republic in 2281. His full title, according to Ambassador Crocker's note, is 'Ambassador Extraordinary of the Plenipotentiary Department of State'.

Background
Crocker is the NCR ambassador to the Mojave area and successor to Susanna Edith. He was given this position because he supported president Kimball during the election. Crocker is a strong believer in diplomacy and hopes to unite the Mojave Wasteland under the NCR peacefully. However, his work has made very little progress since Mr. House refused to even meet him in person after signing the New Vegas treaty. Ambassador Crocker is the third successor of the title of ambassador to the Strip and is in his seventh year of Ambassadorship in 2281.

Quests

 * Kings' Gambit: Crocker will ask you to stop the attacks against NCR civilian settlers in Freeside.

Other interactions

Behind the scenes
Dennis Crocker was originally intended to be a Caucasian male, however, due to an error, a non-Caucasian voice actor recorded his lines. The character's appearance was altered accordingly.

Bugs

 * If the Courier waits in the Embassy at night when Ambassador Crocker isn't around, waiting for him to appear in the morning/afternoon, he will not appear in the building. All you have to do is take your player and exit the Embassy and re-enter for the Ambassador and his secretary to appear in the Embassy. He will not always reappear though, sometimes disappearing from the game permanently.
 * On the PC, this can be corrected by opening the console and entering, followed by.
 * Alternately, open the console and enter
 * Upon completing "Things That Go Boom" if you become idolized by the NCR a random MP will act as the male assassin for one who does wrong towards the NCR. He will complete his line and then attack you. Killing him does not cause infamy.
 * When the Courier would like to know more about the NCR, when having a negative reputation(merciful thug), the spoken text is not the same as the text on the screen.
 * In the subtitles it says hero of the NCR while he says citizen of the NCR.
 * While receiving the quest Kings' Gambit if the Courier asks about the other option besides assassinating Pacer, Ambassador Crocker will suggest the Courier "integrate" with the King, when the subtitles say "ingratiate."
