ملاحظات اللاعب

يخبر Deputy Eli، John Marston بأن Nigel West Dickens قد اختفى، وأن زبائنه المعتادين في Armadillo يسألون عنه. West Dickens بائع أدوية زائفة جوال، يرتدي ويتحدث كرجل إنجليزي متعلم بينما يبيع مقويات طبية احتيالية. يعثر عليه John مصابا بجوار عربة السفر الخاصة به جنوب Coot's Chapel. يطاردهما قطاع الطرق بينما يعيده John إلى Armadillo، حيث يعالجه الطبيب.

رغم أن صبر John قليل تجاه West Dickens، ينخرط البائع في الخطة ضد Bill Williamson في Fort Mercer. يوجه John إلى Seth Briars وIrish، اللذين يلزم عونهما للهجوم، ويوفر عربة سفر مدرعة للخدعة. تدخل المجموعة Fort Mercer مستخدمة العربة كحصان طروادة، لكنها تعلم أن Bill غادر في صباح اليوم السابق. يقول West Dickens إن New Austin نفدت منه الزبائن، ويتحدث عن الرحيل إلى أوروبا أو الصين.

يعثر John لاحقا على West Dickens معتقلا في مبنى شرطة Blackwater لحيازته وتوزيعه المخدرات. يخبر John الضابط بأن البائع العجوز ساعده في ملاحقته لـBill Williamson، ويسميه Edgar Ross بطلا بسخرية. تطلق الشرطة سراح West Dickens.

في قصة Undead Nightmare المنفصلة، يبيع West Dickens شرابه Elixir في Fort Mercer، مدعيا أنه يعالج وباء الزومبي ويبقي الموتى الأحياء بعيدا. يجبره John على تقديم عينات مجانية بعدما يقتل أحد زبائنه خارج الحصن. يعطي West Dickens John زجاجة ويطلب منه جمع مكونات لعلاج حقيقي. يرسل John لاحقا إلى Riley's Charge للحصول على قطع معدنية، يستخدمها لصنع Blunderbuss، ثم يوجهه نحو الفارين في The Scratching Post للحصول على زي عسكري. يغادر West Dickens سيرا على الأقدام، عازما على بلوغ Baghdad أو الموت وهو يحاول.

معلومات طريفة

◆His appearance, character, voice, and mannerisms seem to be based upon the actor/comedian W.C. Fields. His outfit is also very similar to Fields' most popular role as "Mr. Micawber" in the original David Copperfield film. Also, Fields played many con artists in his films, one, in particular, involves Fields' character peddling a "miracle elixir".
◆Furthermore, West Dickens' characterization and interactions with John Marston appear to be influenced by the character "Carpetbagger" from the Clint Eastwood film The Outlaw Josey Wales.
◆After the mission "Can a Swindler Change His Spots?", if the player stays at Cueva Seca, they can see Dickens urinating. Afterward. he will stop, walk away, go back and do it again.
◆When John introduces himself in "Old Swindler Blues", West Dickens recognizes John as an outlaw. If John wears the Walton's Gang Outfit or Bollard Twins Outfit, West Dickens will note his membership in the gang.
◆As seen in Undead Nightmare, Nigel West Dickens apparently owns a small valuable item, as he has a small box that he handles very carefully, with rattling coming from the box. This item could also be some of West Dickens' Elixir (which has been revealed to be a powerful Undead Bait) that the old man keeps in a little box and handle carefully to avoid spilling it (and so baiting every undead near).
◆It seems he has been lynched at one point, shown by a scar stretching across his neck. This is likely due to him being caught as a con artist.
◆Despite constantly failing at "cures" and "miracles", West Dickens says he will not give up science.
◆In Undead Nightmare, among the writing on the walls of the buildings in Blackwater one writing reads "I know a cure for all ailments." West Dickens says this to John on his way out of Doctor Johnston's office.
◆Nigel West Dickens and Seth are the only uninfected major characters in Undead Nightmare to not battle the Undead in any way.
◆He is one of the three major characters who do not ride horses at all. The others are Agustin Allende and Luisa Fortuna.
◆Nigel West Dickens is from Fort Wayne, Indiana according to the comment he made on "Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans".
◆West Dickens' elixir may also be a laxative as John states that 'that elixir I drank went through me like a dose of salts' during "The Sport of Kings and Liars".
◆Nigel West Dickens explains that he once tried to sell his elixir on MacFarlane's Ranch, before being chased away by Bonnie MacFarlane herself.
◆In Red Dead Redemption 2, Nigel West Dickens is referred to in an anecdote that appears in the Gunsmith catalogue's description for the Sawed-Off Shotgun. In it, a woman from Annesburg recounts having threatened West Dickens with the shotgun after her elderly parents became addicted to his elixirs.
◆He is not mentioned in the final Blackwater Ledger in 1914.
