The First NCR Trooper

What do I mean by the first NCR Trooper? The one in Primm. The first NCR Trooper you're likely to meet. This one

His dialogue tree is decently fleshed out, well, it's more one 'follow up questions' path and 2 'end the conversation' paths, but still, that's more than some named characters and its only a 1-time thing. So, rather than do the bold dialogue quotes thing, why not screenshot every line? I make bad descisions. Hahahaa.

This is gonna get a bit big because of that, so, uh, read more.

Anyway, first options first "What's going on in Primm?"

This line is notable to me because it's basically the only time the Vipers and Jackals are mentioned by a character in FNV. I had thought there were no actual references to 'em, but there is this (let's not get into Fallout's use of the word 'tribe').

Anyway, 3 more options. Again, we'll go first first. And then loop back to the other options later, alright?

A slightly useless extra first option rather than him just saying the next line after this line.

And that's the end of that tree. Now, we all have to accept the fact that in-story these Troopers can't just walk into the low-level poorly-armed Escaped Convicts and win instantly, in spite of our ability to clear out the Escaped Convicts with ease. If we am bein' generous the reason is that they don't want to lose any men due to their 'low manpower'.

When you say 'I can take care of myself.' he says this

I appreciate how succinct that one is.

Next is the final one 'Thanks for the warning.'

No idea why that needed to be 2 lines, except to mean I had to go through it twice.

And that's that. This Trooper now only had Primm NCR and Generic NCR dialogue.

So, maybe you're thinkin' "Delafiseaseses, why did you bother spotlighting this Trooper? With screenshots, no less? Well, I know you can find the faces of characters like Easy Pete or Andy Scabb. But this bloke? Never. To find an image of him you'd need to look for a playthrough. But his face is always the same. Those weird New Vegas Pale Lips. He's unnamed, but he has that entire dialogue tree. That's 9 lines. And he's the first NCR Troop you probably ever met in-game. That's special.

The dialogue is also, while a bit gruff in places, a sign this man cares about life. He knows of a danger, he warns you, you don't take his advice, he dismisses you and can say 'at least I warned them' if you die. No blood on his hands there.

He says he'd love to help Primm, but the systems around him prevent that. That's probably how all the unnamed Troopers here feel (hence the 'we'). Hell, that's how most of the NCR is, innit? He's a good introduction to it all.

He's probably not incompetent, but he's not making the decisions. The NCR collectively, who collectively caused this convict situation to begin with, cannot fix it due to a mix of lines like 'it's not our jurisdiction' and 'supplies and manpower'. That's the NCR across the entire game.

And it was first shown here, perfectly in very few lines, with an unnamed Trooper who warns you about Primm's situation and refers you to someone higher up the command structure.

I feel like a lot of people forget/don't realise that the citizens of the NCR don't have positive opinions of the Followers of the Apocalypse

quickish sketch of my pc for xptolevel3’s fallout ttrpg! my personal campaign name placeholder is “fallout: sac-town” haha.

this is Cassidy Walker, she’s a 27 yr old ncr vet who grew up on a Brahmin ranch around what was formerly known as Manteca, CA. she’s the youngest of 15 siblings and is particularly close to her oldest brother Gomer who became horrifically deformed after contracting a disease from fucking the shit out of the Brahmin. After watching the horrors of Brahmin ranching thru her brother Gomer, she decided that wasn’t the life she wanted and joined up with the ncr the next time they came thru town when she was just 16 yrs old.

at the start of our campaign, she is recently discharged and came back to the farm only to find it abandoned and her daddy and Gomer gone missing! so her goal is to find them, but like the ghoul says, rule number one of the wasteland is getting sidetracked by random bullshit at all times lol

NCR trooper having Christmas meal back home in New Cali. The tiny mess room was decorated in style. A green wreath hung at one end as a Christmas tree. The tables were loaded with food, they have fried chicken (poultry raised under NCR 'Food for Defense' program) hardtacks, pea soup, mash potatoes, cream chipped gecko on toast. The hardtack were soggy and moldy usually because of bad storage and ones infested with maggots, and weevils, but they didn’t mind that. That one night officers and troopers had their mess together. It was rather close quarters. They had a crew of four officers and thirty-two troopers, it was no dress affair. No fish and soup as you call them. In short, there were many drawbacks, but good spirits were not one of them. In the tight, overcrowded little mess room they ate and talked. The meal was washed down with potato coffee mixed with rum, and they lost count of the number of toasts that were drunk.
