“I'm not from Goodsprings. I'm a trader with the Crimson Caravan Company.”
Ringo is a trader for the Crimson Caravan hiding out in Goodsprings in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[edit]
About a week before the Courier awakens from their unconsciousness,[1] Ringo, a trader of the Crimson Caravan Company,[2][3] retreated to Goodsprings explaining that his caravan had been attacked,[4] east of town on the I-15 close to Jean Sky Diving.[5] With the permission of Trudy, the local bartender, the caravaneer's been holding up at the abandoned gas station lying low ever since expecting the worst to hunt him down and Goodsprings to just hand him over. Because of this, Ringo has been on edge since.[6][7]
Ringo was right as the worst did come looking. Joe Cobb, a small-time Powder Ganger leader of around dozen gangers,[8] has come to Goodsprings looking for revenge, threatening to burn the town down if they don't turn him over. Trudy shooing him off soon afterward.[9] Ringo isn't particularly afraid of Joe Cobb but is worried about the gang he leads and is trying to get by without Joe Cobb bringing the rest of his gang to Goodsprings and getting thrown to the wolves.[10]

Notes[edit]
- Ringo will play Caravan with the Courier and there is no limit to the number of games that can be played against him.
- He will turn hostile if the Courier has a negative reputation with the NCR or if they are wearing armor of the NCR's enemies. Killing him will result in reputation loss against Goodsprings.
- Agreeing to help Joe Cobb before talking to Trudy and/or Ringo, Ringo will say "no thanks, I saw you being friendly with Joe Cobb" when you offer your help to him and will result in a failure of the quest Ghost Town Gunfight. A similar thing happens if you talk to Ringo with bad reputation in Goodsprings; he will say that to beat the Powder Gangers you need the help of Goodsprings, and because of your actions, they won't help. The quest Ghost Town Gunfight will fail afterwards. All other interactions with Ringo are still available, such as asking to play caravan.
- If Ringo is saved during Run Goodsprings Run he will start walking to the Crimson Caravan Company. He may encounter enemies on his way there, such as at Black Rock Cave, and end up being killed.
- If a companion kills Ringo, the Courier will not lose any reputation or Karma and will complete the objective for Run Goodsprings Run.
- If the Courier kills Ringo while he is still in Goodsprings after Ghost Town Gunfight, next time said player talks with Sunny Smiles, she will speak as though he had died during the gunfight.
- If the Courier talks to Ringo before talking to Trudy, he will have a Speech check of 20 to learn what he is doing there.
