In the Joey-Martha quest, how can I get Joey to come w/me?? He keeps sayin, "Just leave me alone." I've tried friendly, direct, and threatening him repeatedly. I've also tried recruit to no avail.

I've tried 3 diff mercs talking to him. One had a LDR of 55.

Anyone know how I get him to come w/me?

If I remember correctly, LDR 55 should be plenty high enough to get him to come along.

At some point in the dialouge (while using the LDR 55 merc) you need to threaten him. I think you only have to do that once then return to direct approach.

Talk direct,then threaten him twice if necessary.Leadership doesn't matter!Gasket or Grizzly have done it for me,at their low initial leadership,so did my ldr.35 IMP char.But you have to talk to him with a male character.("you sound just like my dad" Very Happy

)
High leadership applies to girls,if I remember correctly.

wow! First I spoke to him in Friendly.

He said, "She's not my rael mother."

Then I did direct.

"Just leave me alone!" he says.

He repeats that for everything I try, but when I do Recruit he says something to the effect that he just wants to stay down here and be left alone....

That was all done w/Ira who has a 55 LDR. I later tried Maddog who had a 20 LDR or something much lower. Nada....

is this a bug??

no. sorry for the confusion. Nada works. Nada is Spanish for "nothing". so right now I cannot get Joey to join me.

I guess I could bring in my IMP guy w/73 LDR and try him....

Yea try that and if it doesn't work it has to be a glitch. Remember to threaten then return to direct. Maybe you have to threaten twice but try a few different saves and see if it works.
Azazel is right about there being a difference between using male and female mercs to do this. After all, he is a confused little...

(as soon as I threaten once he says, "JUst leave me alone" and the dialogue box closes.)

Well,I did.I also convinced all miners with him,not improving on leadership.
1.12 only.This never used to happen in early versions.I'm pretty sure years ago,playing 1.03, you needed 35 LDR to convince Joey,though.

I've never spoken to him with a female merc before - I'll have to try it next time. It would be interesting if the personality of the merc mattered - like the one who hates all men.

HA-CHOO!
Wow, a lot of dust on this old nugget from 2005. suprised

But, I came across this problem playing the latest (I know of) version of Arulco Revisited 1.4.

I'm sure I didn't do anything new, but I went after Joey after doing Cambria (after Drassen), and leaving Chitzena alone.
Stranding a team of three or four out west didn't make sense, with meager earnings from the two mines.

With Bud, Buns, Dimitri and Ira (driver) I confronted Joey. Initially I tried Bud but something mis-fired.
Pushing FRIENDLY and then any other button produced Joey saying "Just Leave me alone" over and over.
(I'd killed the Kingpin already and the sector was free so I went down the Kingpin's secret tunnel entrance.)
After Bud I tried Dimitri, and he failed. I thought Joey would be intimidated with four MERCs.
Next I tried Buns, whose LDR is 24, highest in the group. I hit the DIRECT button.
Joey said, "I could introduce you to some nice girls in San Mona."
Then I hit the THREATEN button and he caved. He agreed to get escorted to Cambria.
So, ...
High LDR or a man isn't necessary. I didn't try every possible variation, and I don't know if Joey has a "highest LDR in the group" sensor.

Also, if you haven't done so head back to the Shady Lady.
(I don't know if the moderator wants to keep this secret or not.)
If you have a thing for the Madame, skip it (or plenty of cash). But if you're willing to punch her, you can render her unconscious.
In the chest behind the counter is $9000+.
This way any scruples against killing her (but not thievery) can keep your conscience clear.
If you have no scruples against killing Madame, she has another $1600 on her person.

As an Alternative:
I had Dimitri punch Madame more, put her into a death spiral from injuries.
The he pillaged her body and got the $1600.
Then I had another MERC with with a medical-kit bring her back to CRITICAL from DYING.
Now it's up to her to live, and I've got her $11,000.

In the same game I for some reason missed talking to Carmen in the bar in Drassen, but he was in the Whipping Post, and I got the disc (and machete).
I am an average player, so someone has found this before?

Yeah, if you miss Carmen in Drassen, he can be found in one of the San Mona bars or elsewhere, always at a bar.
However, while you were punching Madam Layla, Billy Goonball or other San Mona NPC's, they just ignored it ? Didn't the whole town go hostile ? Kingpin or not, i think that if you attack any one of them, the whole town turns hostile.
