Ralph is a trader living in Freeside in 2281.
Background[]
“He might not look it, but Ralph from Mick & Ralph's is no slouch with a keyboard. I've heard he's helped reprogram several robots in his time.”— Rotface
He, together with Mick, is the co-owner of Mick & Ralph's. Apparently, he is good with computers and has reprogrammed several securitrons. He sells consumables while his partner sells weapons.

Bugs[]
- Ralph can occasionally be found dead in the street if he is attacked by a randomly spawned Freeside thug. The only way to fix this is by respawning him via console commands. [verified]
- Sometimes, upon interaction with Ralph, there will be no option to say goodbye. One will have to browse his inventory before the 'goodbye' command will be there. [verified]
- Sometimes, the option of getting the holotape from Ralph will disappear. Presumed to be fixed by reloading from before the conversation was had, unsure if fixable after the fact. One may also be able to get around this by leaving and coming back the next day. [verified]
- If the player character passes both (or possibly just the first) conversation checks with Ralph regarding the fake ID, but opts not to buy the forged documents, then waits some time and comes back later without finishing the quest that usually precedes buying the ID, the option to buy the fake ID will be gone.
