Notas del jugador
El ayudante Eli le dice a John Marston que Nigel West Dickens ha desaparecido y que sus clientes habituales preguntan por él en Armadillo. West Dickens es un vendedor ambulante de remedios fraudulentos, que se viste y habla como un inglés culto mientras ofrece tónicos medicinales falsos. John lo encuentra herido junto a su diligencia, al sur de Coot's Chapel. Unos bandidos los persiguen mientras John lo lleva de vuelta a Armadillo, donde el médico lo atiende.
Aunque John soporta mal a West Dickens, el vendedor interviene en el plan contra Bill Williamson en Fort Mercer. Pone a John en contacto con Seth Briars e Irish, cuya ayuda necesitan para el asalto, y aporta una diligencia blindada para el engaño. El grupo entra en Fort Mercer utilizando el vehículo como un caballo de Troya, pero descubre que Bill se marchó la mañana anterior. West Dickens dice que ya no le quedan clientes en New Austin y habla de partir hacia Europa o China.
John vuelve a encontrar a West Dickens detenido en la comisaría de Blackwater por posesión y distribución de narcóticos. John le dice al agente que el viejo vendedor lo ayudó a perseguir a Bill Williamson, y Edgar Ross lo llama héroe con sarcasmo. La policía deja libre a West Dickens.
En la historia independiente de Undead Nightmare, West Dickens vende su Elixir en Fort Mercer y asegura que cura la plaga zombi y mantiene alejados a los no muertos. John lo obliga a repartir muestras gratuitas después de que uno de sus clientes muera fuera del fuerte. West Dickens le da una botella a John y le pide ingredientes para elaborar una cura real. Más adelante lo envía a Riley's Charge por piezas metálicas, con las que fabrica una Blunderbuss, y lo dirige hacia desertores en The Scratching Post para conseguir un uniforme militar. West Dickens se marcha a pie, con la intención de llegar a Baghdad o morir en el intento.
Curiosidades
- ◆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.
