Which of the absent A.I.M. mercenaries from Jagged Alliance 2 do you miss the most and why?

[Elder III]

I would like for all of them to be added to the game (my favorite DLC option), but I picked Dr. Clifford Highball. Not because he's necessarily my favorite, but because I think the JA3 AIM roster could use a high end Dr. with 84 MRK and 84 MED. He's also from the same continent, so he seems like a good fit to me overall.

I wouldn't mind if Haemimont Games would add all 10 of the remaining A.I.M. mercenaries either. 10 is a good number for a DLC. 😁

charge 9.99 - 0.99 for each character 😉 - i am pretty sure loads of people would pay it (I know I would - with a decent whine but I still would )

From that missing list that we have in this topic we have equal number of mercs that fit to recruit, veteran,elite and, legendary groups.

 

So far looking at SteamDB.info JA3 selling numbers are similar to another Haemont game - Surviving Mars, which had a lot of DLC's. So I think there will be some DLC soon.

You `are right. I loved Surviving Mars - I got sucked in into buying their DLC's so probably will happen again.

Oh, yeah, one of my favs! So funny, so crazy, so deadly!

[Claypl]

I would love to see Buzz and Lynx, there is story to be told, there is awesome and highly inappropriate banter to be had!

From replay ability perspective we do not need more marksman and markswoman, we need more low/mid cost specialists. Especially explosive experts and mechanics would be appreciated to add variability to playthroughs.

Static for me: I always hired him in JA1 as soon as he just would join me, and he was my only starter merc in JA2 together with my IMP character. Loved his lines and the whole "sound technician turned mercenary" gig. 

[J1v1n]

I don't understand how Buzz is being liked by so many. I hated it, when she just went on full burst spree even though I told her to single shot an enemy. 🤣

Because she's not boring boring boring, she aims well, has a story, funny lines and a jagged behaviour.

I miss him since JA2, Colonel Leo Kelly.

Cuz she is feisty - kinda like Fox but more temper and spice. She has an attitude but she's not forgettable like some other way too "tamed" mercs.

In general, it would have been cool to have any mercs portrait moving their lips - like in JA2. The static images of them - despite voice lines are not doing it for me.

Dynamo from JA2 would have been cool to see again.

[Melliores]

I do miss Needle from JA1 who was retired in JA2. Started with 98 medical and 88 Wisdom. Not a good shot and had a medical condition but could be trained to cover all 3 key support activities - medical, mechanical and explosives. You could also park him at a small base and have him be your resident surgeon with that medical score.

Quite the character as well.

[GODSPEED]

I wish Helmut "Grunty" Gunther was 'reworked'.

He was one of my main mercs from day 1 to end of operations in JA2. I kicked him out of my team in JA3 in the first week... not sure who wrote his lines, but went from being kind of stoic, serious and professional to some sort of Disney version of a modern teen.

See ya!! Buns will do without your flattery sir.

[J1v1n]

I admit he is a little goofy with his remarks at times. 🙈

Don't worry, I'm sure'll be an antagonist in JA4.

[tom]

apart from buzz, i would throw my had in the ring for haywire...., and for sure for ira!

that might surprise, but in ja2 she was becoming a hell of a fighter in the end.

but i have never played the original english, but only the german version, so i cannot

say about her "original" voice. in german in some comments she sounded a bit stressy, but

in others quite good.

[Frank]

I loved Static in JA2, a good overall merc with high Tech stats, not to mention his hard rock looks and attitude.

It would also be cool to see some minor characters make a comeback as a recruitable merc, like Ira, Miguel, or Conrad from JA2.

[StoProGratis]

Maybe soon developers gonna have AI tools to generate dialogs cheaper and quicker. There's a lot more voice acting in JA3 than it was in JA2. And I think it's the main reason why we don't have tons of Mercs.

 

There's one Merc that can be top class explosives and medic. Wolf can be top class medic and mechanic but after lot's of training.

ALL OF THEM!!! + It, Mike and all other. ALL OF THEM!!!

As much as I love Mike, I really want it to be canon that he died in Arulco fighting the mercs who defeated Deidranna.

[Kordanor]

Personally I miss Jagged Alliance 1 characters the most. And I think Jimmy would be a perfect fit for a Jagged Alliance DLC. Why?

Obviously and as this thread shows the famous Duo Lynx and Buzz need to get back in the game.
Jimmy always hated Lynx and would be a great complementation. Jimmy also has relations to existing mercs. He was a friend of Magic.

In addition, it would be great to have another cheap mechanic in the game, and Jimmy would be the perfect fit as well.

 

If I had to limit myself to JA2 mercs, I would pick the Razor and Haywire Duo.

I am not quite sure why, and I didnt even take him often, but I also kinda have a weak spot for Needle. Would be great to have him back.

[LoboNocturno]

Myself i dont really miss MISS any AIM character of the previous parts, but if i wished for a return as i mentioned a couple times before, i would like to see Hector Alvarez of JA1 (but guess he was seriously wounded, even dead ? or totally retired.) From JA2 AIM roster if i could choice, Malice would suit in perfectly to Grand Chien imo.

 

Conrad Gillet or Iggy Palkov would be bad either imo but there were not from AIM. Also Hamous was in JA1 & JA2 so it really surprised me that he didnt added in JA3 (he should be there without been DLC).

[Slayer]

He wasn't on the AIM roster but my favourite merc from JA2 was probably Maddog. I was really hoping to find him on one of the farms in JA3. Mmmmm yeah mmm...
