According to what I've read, you are supposed to injure Mike to critical state before you can hire him. However, in my current game I just encountered Mike, and gave Gus the honor of being the first to meet him. I tried to recruit him right off the bat just to see what would happen. The dialogue window popped on and off, and Mike said "Need a medic here!", followed by offering to join my crew. This isn't how it's supposed to happen, yes? This didn't work with any other mercenary I had at the spot, but Gus did have much higher leadership (90) than anyone else.

I was the one that did that hiring script for him. I've been reading of this problem from time to time but I never could reproduce it myself. There is a condition set in the dialogue that he has to be low on health, enemy and effective leadership must be >70. All the conditions must be met at once. Was this a new game or was the save loaded from some older version? Any peculiar settings you've changed (though it should not matter as it is only an npc script)?

Nevermind. You're right. This happened in auto-initiated conversation with Mike. Here is the fixed version.

I'm using 7991 and for the love of the old and new Gods I couldn't hire Mike, I stunned him, took his weapons away, isolated him and left him as the last guy in the map, shot his legs until he was critical, he went into dying, bandaged him, he stood up and kept trying to punch me in spite of the offers I made, he kept saying his line "you're the target"... I have a Squadleader merc with 79 Leadership and level 5 that did all the talk.

What else do I need to do?

I don't think you are supposed to bandage him, just get him to critical state and talk to him again.

I got him into critical shooting at his legs, then he stood up... well knelt up, then I made sure to fire like 3 or 4 bursts of ammo around him to suppress him and deplete his AP but the next turn he bled into the dying status, all the while I kept talking to him but the dialog was blocked (no other options but to let him say his catch phrase "You're my target"). So I needed him bandaged to keep him alive so he could stand up, be conscious of his surroundings and be talked to... but not to avail... I will never get Mike on my team, had to kill him again :___(

Pretty sure somewhere it said you don't want him to be the last guy in the map for some reason...

Edit: Which is why when I did it, I had one mook laying next to him in critical condition... but no, somehow it still doesn't work. However, I forgot to bring my squad leader (wasn't expecting mike in this battle), so my highest leadership is 44. - Was a long fight and he was in the last room, so reloading sucks... But I think I can afford him, and it would just be cool if it worked... So I'll probably reload and try again. I'll let you know if it works, if I do.
