- when your slave or merc will blocked or you can't talk with him, press in the Alt menu "Move to" next "Stop all actions" and then "Switch to auto move"
or "move" them to some free point

did you know that hit points of mercs you buy depends on the luck skill you have? (it might be different after wipe but now its like that)

Actually I tested a bit and there's more factors than just luck. :P

Agreed that there are multiple things factoring in the hp/stats of mercs when bought.

It's funny though, the merc thing, I was the first to report it a long time ago this era...  maybe, 3-4 months.  It got no attention whatsoever sadly.

well what else i noticed that the price you bought them for also increases mercs hp, and hp they get on level, while making it the more they cost the better they are. But this is quite low difference if you compare to luck difference. Also mercs wont level after wipe, so no need to bother about that.

What...?  You can only have 2 mercs AND you can't even level them???  If this is true say good bye to follower builds entirely.

- Mercenary HP dependant on S.P.E.C.I.A.L. affect ALL bought followers actually.  Dogs, mercenaries, super mutants, slaves....  Brahmin :>  Everything.

- There's a basement in New Reno Arms, behind the rusted lookin shelfs in the top right room.

Where exactly did that piece of information come from? (The them not leveling part)

If you're bored, then you can troll in NCR by this way, you'll kill 2-3 people every few minutes by this way and you may die by laught, because that's damn fun, I had tears in my eyes because of laught when I was doing that:

1.

1) Get a merc/slave, put him to grid far away from other.
2) Get long ranger weapon like hunting rifle, etc.
3) Have low SG% skill, so you'll have 5% to hit and will almost always miss.
4) Shout "AAAAAAAAH <Name> IS UNPROTECTED!!!11 KILL HIM".
5) Then run in point blank, that he will be on bullet path between you and your merc/slave.
6) Start shoot your merc/slave like crazy.
7) People will see that and start shoot that guy, usually 1-3 people dying, in armors and with weapon.

2.

1) Do the same as above till #3.
- - -
4) Run in point blank to some guy from respawn with only 10-13 HP and start shoot like crazy, you'll often see "Oops! <Your poor victim> was hit instead of merc. You may kill him or atleast bring to negative HP, also some idiot will try to "help" you and die with victim hahaha!

It'll make your gameplay much funnier and you'll see alot dead innocent people in NCR, as it should be!

Edit:
1) Unfortunately later they all will start hate you and will chase you with 10mm smg.
2) Also bullets ending too fast.
3) And don't load you fun with full clip if it has alot ammo there (tommy gun, AR) because of misses, there's high chance that miss can be critical and you lose all ammo.

It is even Possible to cripple the whole body with shooting... as example the Groin (  ;D )

...hit points of mercs you buy depends on the luck skill you have. (among other things yet to be specified) (thanks to Vedaras for this surprising tip!) ADDENDUM :  Mercenary HP dependant on S.P.E.C.I.A.L. affect ALL bought followers .  Dogs, mercenaries, super mutants, slaves....  Brahmin :>  Everything. (thanks to Michaelh139 for clarifying this a bit.)

...you have more chance to encounter a player using "both modes" combat mode


i confirm that, i played Real Time only a lot, and almost never met anyone, after i set it to both i got pretty often into TB encounters (and few RT)
