I had an idea to hire a mutant, but which one?! I wanted a melee fighter; he has 9 OD compared to the eight of a cold-weapon user. That's when I got screwed over because I couldn't find any powerfists for sale. But there used to be some. The season passed, and they were all bought up. As far as I remember, the assortment of items at the merchants in different bunkers is the same, but it doesn't hurt to try. I fired everyone without taking off their equipment so I could hire them back later, got into a two-seater car, and drove into the wasteland. On the way, I encountered the first encounter in this game.
I also opened it in the previous playthrough. While remaining unnoticed, R. Riddick sneaked into the Brotherhood's base and hid among the recruits.
I arrived and hired Stitch with his 40% barter skill, giving him all my money. Of course, the assortment was the same, and then I had the idea to drive around the bunkers and buy up different things that had previously interested me. I bought some books.
And for the next few months, Stitch and I patrolled the wasteland in a buggy, encountering various encounters.
Funny ones -
And useful ones
I'll look for another melee fighter. But maybe it's futile.
P.S. Once I ran into another group of annoying mutants and almost got screwed over. I tried to drive off the screen as usual, but it was heavily overgrown with trees, and I drove like in a maze while the thugs chased me. And the car only had 35 HP. This is because the day before, I arrogantly ran over a couple of mutants while driving around the map, and they shot off almost all of my armor in a burst, and I barely got away.
