Trudy (Fallout: New Vegas)

Trudy is the owner and bartender of the Prospector Saloon in Goodsprings

Background
Trudy arrived in Goodsprings seven years prior and took ownership of the Prospector Saloon, where she serves as a bartender. Sunny Smiles describes her as "kind of the town mom," adding that she likes to meet any newcomers that visit Goodsprings. She also states that many of the town residents look up to her. Doc Mitchell mentions that Trudy knows everyone in town.

About a week prior, Trudy and the town provided Ringo, a Crimson Caravan trader, a place to lie low at the Goodsprings Gas Station after surviving an attack on his caravan by Powder Gangers. A couple of days prior, Benny and members of the Great Khans arrived at the Prospector Saloon, with Trudy describing them as a "bunch of freeloaders who expected a few rounds on the house." While there, a Great Khan knocked down her radio, which has been broken ever since.

Gameplay
Trudy offers information regarding Benny and the Great Khans, stating that she heard Benny talk about getting to the New Vegas Strip while avoiding the I-15. She will also mention her broken radio, which the Courier can fix with a Repair skill of 20. When offered, she states that she likes to keep up to date with current events and how "Mr. New Vegas seems like such a gentleman." Once fixed, she will reward the player Goodsprings fame, 50 caps and 10 XP. With a Barter check of 20, the player can instead gain 75 caps and 35 XP.

Following either Back in the Saddle or By a Campfire on the Trail, Trudy can be seen arguing with Joe Cobb inside the Prospector Saloon. When spoken to afterwards, she will offer information regarding the Powder Gangers and Ringo. If asked about Ringo's location, she mentions that he is inside the Goodsprings Gas Station, which will begin Ghost Town Gunfight. During the quest, she can be convinced to defend Goodsprings with either a Speech or Sneak check of 25.

Bugs

 * If Trudy is not spoken to before finishing "They Went That-a-Way", she will not display the proper dialogue option to initiate the unmarked quest, Trudy's Radio Repair.
 * Trudy can sometimes wander off from Goodsprings and walk to Hidden Valley. The reason for this may be killing Sunny or Ringo while still maintaining a higher than neutral reputation with Goodsprings.
