What's everyone's general opinion of these two mercs? I nearly always hire one or both of them at the start of a game; Thor's a good doctor and becomes an extremely good fighter after just drassen and the drassen SAM because of his huge WIS, while fidel makes an excellent and cheap sniper (just don't give him an automatic).
Both of their qoutes seem cool, too; Thor being a optimist hippy and Fidel a crazy lugnut who, as I recently found out, cut Hurl into peices and fed him to his dog after JA:DG.
I especially seem to find myself hiring Thor almost constantly. His excellent physical stats, cheap midrangish cost and fast-gaining skills remind me a lot of the ivan of JA1 and JA:DG; a cheap and allround excellent merc.
The only problem, however, is that I now often find myself restarting to try out groups that -aren't- comprised of either of these two. :/

You have contrasting choices. :angel:
Well,Fidel is one of my all time most-underused too.But price and stats recommand him as a great hire.He just didn't ever convinced me to like him :whoknows:
By the way,Azazel has found lots of things in and about this game,but that permanent psycho bonus is not one of them.I think we all have to blame HQ for bringing that into the general attention,if my memory is correct on this,and his "secret revealed" topic.
As for Thor,he makes a good pair with Trevor,if you are one of those brainiac lovers, ,and one of the greatest "potentials".Somehow though,I think you can hardly find him in a general top ten of the hireable AIM mercs-but that's just an opinion...And it's not the potential that is to blame,but the personality(especially the irritating voice) and the stealth-h2h skill combo(mediocre,in most people's opinion).Nevertheless,you will find some Thor addicts around,including those who made him the best possible doctor in UC.
