Mercs that survive you dying come find you
Roachor:
I make a lot of money on my own and even with faction support mercs are pretty pricey.
John.Metzger:
Example:
5 supermutant mercs. let us say they have rocketluncher and minigun and hmm 380hp.
You died first . they survived (what a surprise)
get them back without paying? ::) ::)
its like in reallife. bodyguards have more hp than you. hah!
they catch the bullets for you.
BUT if you die, they dont care and start work for another one.
be happy that YOU have a respawnpoint .)

Yeah i wouldnt mind some small for fun faction either, but as a loner getting those caps can be hard when you still cant craft 2nd or 3rd tier weapons,
the HQ ore requirements usually prove to be too big of an obstacle, and too many times DE selling run to gunrunners ends when theres some bg guy at exit grid
haha.
Loners can and often will have hard time pulling out the caps needed for mercs since even gear is hard to keep for much longer than couple hours.
Slaves are one option but surviving to metzger isnt easy either for the tattoo, guess you could grab an army of wanderers only for starters haha, combat
knives are relatively cheap and decently effective vs basic critters.
Even if all merc prices would be doubled, and super mutants made to cost 100k...there would still be people who can buy those easily most likely,
just resulting in stronger getting even stronger while weaker factions and especially loners would get even weaker.

Imagine how frustrated you are when you die and lose some crap that is worth a couple thousand caps vs losing 100K of mercs one shot + their gear. Then think of how many trips to vendors that is for 2-5k caps if you're lucky.

hoh. i know this frustration (omg i know)
BUT Mercs give you a big advantage
there are two parts of it:
1. you absolutly feels like necromancer in diablo 2 if you play in realtime.
there is just endless loot. 5 melle mercs with rippers or supersledges?
you will have the costs for the mercs in 10 min back in your pocket.
leader chars make 10k-50k in a hour normaly
you are GUARDED!
you played weeeeeeeeeeeeks without dying.
2. sometimes you just died. you lost everything.
unlucky bad thing. but that happend.
you have to start new. like all others do.
(and you still able to lead 5 mercs again)
i cant understand why it should change? they leave you if you die! sounds normal.
