it is an old debate, and opinions have been thrown around countless times, but if i were to replace an existing mercenary, who would it be?
there is hope that i won`t have to at all because the 1.13 team will externalize the prof.dat file so new mercenaries could be added (in the best case)
But then again, it is a delicate and highly complicated matter, and if it doesn`t happen in time (which would be tragic), and i were to replace Mercenaries, i would personally start with Dr. Clifford Highball "Cliff"
it would be a step-by-step process. ATM i think one guy to be overwritten would be enough.
ohhh, and since i am already at it, how many people would miss Devin? He is not yet overwritten so i guess he will be the option before Cliff

i think all of you have a point
in the end i will take some decisions and people will like it or not. i fear some people`s favorites could be gone. But there will be cool new characters to hire.

I'd bet that between everyone on this forum, every merc is someones favorite. You can't please all of the people some of the time(?) Cliff,Stephen and Meltdown are on my list,as all time most underused.
It's not that they're not useful,or bargains;it's not about stats either.It has to do with speech.Their VOICE.
Personally,I'd rate a teaching-electronics Cliff as a lot more interesting char than the other 2,with that drinking backround,mistrust of others and so on.Why not replace a pair,liking eachothers?
(Dr.Q as the only asian?Why not a Chinese girl,and a Japanese?)
You know,I had peoples say to me that replacing Norma "Meltdown" or Gumpy is an insult to the original gamemakers...That JA2 without Biff is not the same thing.Never had the taste for rednecks,Hawire-Razor types, but they are important in the game economy...
Anyway,in my view the least important in the original game economy would be Bubba,Larry 1-2 and Numb.But Cougar stays.Not many people played with them, mainly because of the way MERC expands.That's where I'd place my replacements(eliminating hate relations from AIM)-with MERC available on day one.Maybe Cougar in AIM?
Or replace the whole damn MERC,Speck included, with a more respectable establishment if you have the taste for a revolution.Or enormous work.

lol stephen is one of my most used mercs. Maybe together with wolf
of course i would give skills to cliff, that still leaves his average face, his not particuliarly special accent and his low physical price at a high salary
atm i using up the rpc slots anyway so not much danger that AIM or MERC personnel have to go

that`s a good idea, just make sure you use the same eye/ mouth coordinates for the new faces as for the old ones. However, such mods already exist and i see not much use in looking for even more action movie actor/ actress pics when Ron has already a very nice selection of those, plus VDM ae faces mod...
but if you can come up with better faces than the origs we can incorporate this into the game
btw i tried to send you an exe for the loadscreens but damn gmail won`t let me send any exes. you`d find it searching the web

Cliff I don't even bother with. But if you are going to remove one, you should remove all of them. It isn't fair because just about everyone likes certain characters.
