Dixon (Fallout: New Vegas)

Dixon is a drug dealer living in Freeside in 2281.

Background
Dixon is a local drug dealer in Freeside with perpetually glassy and bloodshot eyes. As a local, he considers NCR squatters scum and treats them as less than people. That is not to say that there is much of a difference to how he treats the rest of Freeside; as a sociopathic drug dealer, he thoroughly enjoys watching his customers succumb to the crippling effects of addiction. His "special" jet and whiskey are popular choices for addicts due to its inexpensive nature, but they are so addictive and low-quality that the effects of withdrawal would kill anyone that would try and get clean without the use of fixer.

Although Dixon is a Freeside local and hates NCR squatters, he is not above selling to all the denizens of Freeside, including the locals. Two of his customers are members of the Followers of the Apocalypse - Bill Ronte, a former engineer, is now addicted to Dixon's whiskey, and Jacob Hoff, a former chemist, is now addicted to Dixon's jet. Given the current relations between the squatters and locals, this is enough for them to believe that he may be working for NCR to keep Freeside down.

Daily schedule
Dixon wanders around out near the east gate (just past Rotface) both night and day.

Quests

 * High Times: Dixon needs to be persuaded (or killed) in order to stop supplying chems and alcohol to Jacob Hoff and Bill Ronte.

Other interactions

 * Dixon can be killed during the quest High Times at no loss of Karma or gain in Freeside infamy should the Courier fail the Speech challenge.
 * Dixon is one of the few named non-player characters in the game to be affected by the Sneering Imperialist perk.

Appearances
Dixon appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
At one point during development Dixon was slated to have two thugs in his employ, serving as bodyguards or enforcers, and armed with varmint rifles (both thugs also carry the incorrect ammunition for the weapon, like Dixon). Though not present in the game, both thugs are still present in the game's code and can be brought into the game using console commands.

Bugs
Occasionally, Dixon's inventory will not reset after buying all his chems, even after a few days.
