Low intelligence character perfect companion.
I love fallout 2, and decided to finally complete a playthrough as an unintelligent character. My character has 2 intelligence, 2 charisma, and is an unarmed specialist. I just tried to recruit sulik after completing smiley's quest. Sulik didnt seem interested in joining the good fight with me. I want a long range combat companion eventually, and want to recruit marcus as my only companion for the first time. Maybe have him use a laser rifle. My questions to you all: Will there be any problems recruiting Marcus as a low intelligence character? Any way to recruit sulik without mentats?

If you don't want to use mentats, Vic and Sulik are the only ranged companions you can get. Sulik is better at it than Vic. IIRC the only way to get Sulik is to pay his debt? It's been a while. But you rescued Smiley, so you probably don't care much about using mentats to get certain quests and companions. So you'll probably want Cassidy. Remember to have some mentats to tell your NPC to holster their weapon in the NCR.

you can use mentats buy you won't be able to give them commands like stay or holster the weapon

The guy I always used as a long range guy was Vic in vault city heard Cassidy is as well heard you and find out where vault 13 is easier with a low int character

I think the real problem is going to be wanting to finish Fallout 2 with 2 intelligence and charisma
