Johnson Nash

Johnson Nash is a citizen of Primm in 2281 and also a supervisor of the Mojave Express.

Background
Nash is an elderly man living in the town of Primm. At first you can find him at the casino, where he and the rest of Primm's inhabitants have fled after a Powder Gangers splinter faction killed the town's Sheriff and took the deputy hostage in the Bison Steve hotel.

After you restore order by finishing the quest My Kind of Town, he and his wife return to their home at the Mojave Express Building, where he also appears to be a trader. If you choose Meyers as the new sheriff, completion will also result in a discount on prices in the Mojave Express shop. If you chose to let the NCR control and protect Primm, Nash will mention that he has an increased amount of goods due to trade routes from the NCR however the goods he has are more expensive due to the NCR's tax it charges its states, cities, and protectorates.

Quests

 * ED-E My Love: You can find the robot named ED-E in Johnson's home in Primm. He says the robot had been left there by a scavenger that had found him and he is all yours, if you can fix him.
 * They Went That-a-Way: Johnson Nash is the man who tells the Courier what his delivery was and all the details behind it. He directs the player to Deputy Beagle to learn more on where the attackers left after shooting the Courier. The Courier was also supposed to give the payment for delivering the platinum chip and the NCR war documents from the New Vegas Strip to him. During the dialogue about what your package was Nash mentions the strange encounter with Courier #5 in which he rejected the job when he saw that the Courier was next on the list.
 * My Kind of Town: Johnson will give the Courier suggestions on possible sheriffs of Primm and his opinions on them. These possible sheriffs include Primm Slim, Meyers, and the NCR

Appearances
Johnson Nash appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Nash may not go into his shop after helping Primm gain law causing him to never be able to trade with you. This may be due to repairing ED-E before restoring law to Primm. One solution is to fire and rehire ED-E while in Nash's shop. Another possible solution on the PC is to use the console to Kill and Resurrect Nash.
 * If you attempt to wake Nash up in order to trade with him, he may become a "floating log" as he moves to his stool behind the counter. You will not be able to talk to him until he arrives there, where he starts to sit down as if nothing happened. (screenshot)
 * There is a chance that your system may freeze upon backing out of the purchase screen.
 * If he leaves the Vikki and Vance casino while there are still Powder Gangers in the area, he may run inside his house and be in a constant "fleeing" state for quite awhile, even if you kill the Powder Gangers. (waiting 24 hours and fast-traveling back seemed to fix this)

Behind the scenes
