Dixon (Fallout: New Vegas)

Dixon is a local and drug dealer living in Freeside .
==Background==
A street-side chem pusher with perpetually glassy and bloodshot eyes, Dixon sells the usual fare of chems as well as his own self-styled flavors of whiskey and Jet to anyone with the caps to afford his prices. As a local of Freeside all his life, like most he considers the NCR squatters to be scum and treats them as less than people.Dixon: "Friggin' troll NCR squatters. A bunch of mouth-breathing wastes of space, if you ask me."(Dixon's dialogue) That is not to say that there is much of a difference to how he treats the rest of Freeside; he expresses joy at seeing how thoroughly his customers succumb to the crippling effects of addiction, especially if they're NCR.The Courier: "Do you know anything about Bill or Jacob?"Dixon: "Yeah, man. Those cats are out of their domes addicted to my shit. They can't get enough. Pretty hilarious to watch."The Courier: "Are you trying to kill your customers?"Dixon: "Those fools are from NCR. I love seeing those squatters in agony. We were doing just fine before those shits came here and made a mess of things. We don't need NCR eggheads wandering around confusing things."(Dixon's dialogue)The Courier: "I need you to stop supplying Bill and Jacob."Dixon: "Really? Aw, you're such a saint. You know what? I might be willing to stop if there is something in it for me."The Courier: "Maybe some caps could persuade you to leave them alone?"Dixon: "300 caps and I'll stop selling to them. Otherwise, it is just too much fun watching them spiral downward."(Dixon's dialogue) His "special" recipes for Jet and whiskey are popular choices for Freeside's addicts due to their inexpensive nature, but they prove highly addictive and low-quality that the effects of withdrawal would kill anyone that would try and get clean without access to Fixer.The Courier: "All right. Take the caps and leave them alone."Dixon: "Hey, nice doing business with you, / Moneybags. Good luck getting them healthy. If they don't get a whole lot of fixer soon, withdrawal will kill them."(Dixon's dialogue)The Courier: "How can you afford so much alcohol?"Bill Ronte: "Dixon sells me booze dirt cheap. It does the job, but it tastes like paint thinner and I feel like I'm going to die if I stop drinking for a day. I swear that guy is trying to kill me, but what can I do? Drinking other booze doesn't cure the sickness like his."(Bill Ronte's dialogue)
Despite his staunch hatred for NCR squatters, he is not above selling to all the denizens of Freeside, including the locals themselves. Two of his regular 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. Dixon's exploitation of both sides of the population of Freeside leads to some questioning if he is secretly in league with NCR to try and keep the locals pacified through addiction.The Courier: ""Dixon: "[SUCCEEDED] Wait, man! You can't go around saying shit like that! Okay, I get your point. You won't have to worry about me supplying those two any more."(Dixon's dialogue)
==Daily schedule==
Dixon hangs around near Freeside's east gate (in front of Mick & Ralph's as well as just past Rotface) both night and day.
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
High Times: Dixon needs to be persuaded (or killed) in order to cut off Jacob Hoff and Bill Ronte from their addictions so they can get clean and return to the Followers of the Apocalypse.
===Other interactions===
* If the Courier fails the Speech check to convince him to stop supplying Jacob and Bill, Freeside Infamy will be gained.
* Dixon can be killed with no loss of Karma.
* Dixon is one of the few named non-player characters in the game to be affected by the Sneering Imperialist perk.
==Inventory==
==Notes==
* Though Dixon has a varmint rifle in his inventory, he carries .22LR rounds instead of 5.56mm rounds. This is because in early development, the varmint rifle was designed to fire .22LR instead of 5.56mm. Because of this, if he turns hostile, he will use his knife instead.
* He will not respawn if killed, making it impossible to purchase his unique chems.
* He will refresh his inventory completely with the console command on the PC, making him unique in that aspect, as few do it even partially. Thus, he is a good source for Jet (his own), Buffouts and Fixers.
* While weaker and more likely to cause addiction, Dixon's own products (particularly Dixon's Jet) can be stacked with their normal versions for cumulative effect.
* During You Can Depend On Me, if one challenges Cass to a whiskey drinking contest to buy out her contract (passing a 75 Barter check beforehand), she will disparagingly reference Dixon Whiskey as an example of poor-quality whiskey she refuses to drink.The Courier: ""Rose of Sharon Cassidy: "[SUCCEEDED] You challenging me? Serious now. All right, you come here, armed with whiskey, we'll make a sport of it. And none of that radioactive shit, I'm talking whiskey, not Dixon Whiskey - whiskey."(Rose of Sharon Cassidy's dialogue)
==Appearances==
Dixon appears only .
==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.
