questions and answers xD -->

Quests

 * Wang Dang Atomic Tango: As a ghoul in a cowboy outfit, Beatrix is one of the three people that need to be recruited for the Atomic Wrangler Casino.

Effects of player interactions

 * Once she is hired as a prostitute, the player can hire her "services" for 25 caps plus the cost of a room. When the screen turns black during sex, Beatrix will make feral ghoul sounds.

Other interactions

 * While working as a guard, she'll offer some free advice to the player when asked (once she starts working at the Atomic Wrangler, she no longer does this).

Appearances
Beatrix Russell appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * The pieces of advice she remarks are all adaptations of famous quotes from philosophers or alternate takes on famous Phrases. For example, "Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time." This quote was said by Bertrand Russell, a British author, mathematician, & philosopher of a similar name. And "The only thing I know for certain is that I don't know nothing." Originally said by Socrates, another philosopher, "One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing."
 * Another piece of advice she will give you is "Good, bad... The guy with the gun makes the rules." This is a loose reference to a line Ashley Williams says in Army of Darkness, "Good, bad... I'm the guy with the gun."

Bugs

 * Sometimes when you pay her for sex she won't get off of the chair and won't move, which means having intercourse with her is impossible. This seems to occur after you've completed Debt Collector and have been given a free room at the Atomic Wrangler. Exiting the atomic wrangler, and reentering can fix this problem.
 * She will follow you to your room after being paid for sex but then simply stand by the bed. There are no dialogue options offered to try to fix this, but if you look at the bed and select sleep, then exit once it asks you how long you want to sleep, she will be on the bed.
 * You can run into her from behind to push her towards the bed. After a few pushes she will finally get in the bed.
