Lacey is a merchant operating out of the barracks at the NCR Ranger outpost in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. She appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Making her living as a standing trader within the New California Republic's southwestern Ranger outpost,[Non-game 1] set along Interstate 15, Lacey had good business with the foot traffic in and out of New California including caravan drivers and prospectors alike. However, by 2281, with recent troubles between the Outpost and New Vegas including the breakout at the NCR Correctional Facility leading to the closure of the Long 15, she's found that despite having nowhere to go, traders are holding onto their caps tightly with little room for luxury spending.[1] The untenable situation has left her with a short amount of patience and a snappy demeanor, even towards the Rangers posted to defend the outpost.[2] The relative scarcity of paying customers also lends to her being willing to squeeze a few extra out of those she thinks she can get an edge.[3]

Notes[]
- At release, Lacey was available to play an unlimited number of games of Caravan like Ringo; after a patch, she was limited to the normal five rounds.
- The items displayed on the shelves behind Lacey are actually marked as owned by the NCR faction rather than her; this results in both them not appearing in her vendor inventory and the NCR troopers inside the barracks often picking them up in their own inventories.
Notable quotes[]
- "New face in the Outpost, must've come from the North. So - what'll you have?"
- "Work around here? Might check with Jackson in the main building. Or Ghost up on the roof above, but watch out, she's... well, she's kind of a bitch. Don't tell her I said that, though. Might take a bullet some night when I'm going to the latrine."
- "For you? I'm not sure I want to be seen dealing with you... but if you're willing to pay a little extra..."

Buying all of the Caravan cards she has to offer may cause the game to freeze. [verified]

- ↑ The Courier: "Anything you can tell me about the Outpost?"
Lacey: "Not too much, lot of caravans going nowhere. Lot of troopers going nowhere, too. Few prospectors here and there, but... they don't do more than stink up the place. Everybody's backed up here. You think it'd be good for business, but most of the traders are tight with the caps, even the larger caravan outfits."

Non-game
- ↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition: Outpost Barracks:
"NCR Troopers, Caravaneers, and a young lady named Cass all use this watering hole, sometimes crashing on a mattress in the adjacent room. You can sleep there, too. Lacey is the barkeep (there’s a Star Cap on her bar), and she has some information on the Outpost. She plays a keen hand of Caravan too, as well as having a copious amount of goods to Trade with you. Cass is initially aggressive, but (depending on the Side Quests), she may require some coaxing to become a Follower. Consult those Quests for the answers, and Cass can join you, along with her associated Perk."
