Mercs Roster (Full Roster now!)

[Dumeka]

Since I LOVE having tons of mercs available like it was possible in the previous JA, JA 1.5, JA 2 (DLCs included), I would love to see who came back and who is new.

So if you guys find some infos down the line that I might have missed, maybe you could add the names in your replies so we can have a full roster available for everyone at the end!

So far from what I saw and read we will have a roster of 40 Mercs + the self created IMP character we can create at the start!

The following mercs are available in the game so far

Tex is already in the game and on the list. :)
The other 3 would be fun to have!
Lynx had a awesome markmanship!

I liked Trevor in JA2 a lot too! He is a good allrounder!

Mike, as he was the feared NPC boss in JA2
Ira, as she has a nice personality and good potential, great for RPG immersion.

Would be awesome to get Ira storywise on becoming a merc but since she was mainly tied on the storyline of JA2 they will probably leave her out. :(

In general since there were tons of men and only few women in comparison, it would be fun to see the return of:
- Beth (Veteran)
- Buzz (Elite)
- Flo (Recruit)
- Grace (Veteran)
- Laura (Veteran)
- Sparky (Recruit)
- Spider (Elite)
- Stella (Legendary)

But Mike is killed in JA2, so no way they add him. Ira is tied with her country.

There's 130+ mercs in JA; but only 40+ created for JA3. Surely they will give us a few more in DLC. If not, i hope we can help make our own.

No, Mike didn't die in JA2. He's alive, I've seen him on the Garand Thumb channel.

My Buzz in JA2 was actually pretty good with the M60 machine gun.

If we get DLC Buzz, i will still make my own custom Buzz.

Incase anyone wasn't aware, I've created a spreadsheet with mercs we've seen in the game so far and will continue to update the spreadsheet after the game releases. It also includes weapons and armor but most of that can't be filled in till the game is released.

Thanks for the update. See Thor, Ice and Blood are on the list, which is kinda all I need

After the first JA, Beth was put in the Alumni section that said she was killed outside of her apartment after she quit being a merc.
Then they brought her back in JA Wildfire. :)
On the one hand kinda bad storywise but on the other hand I was happy having her back.
I think they did the same with a few male mercs too.

I would love for the map editor they had on JA 1.5 to return as also giving us a character editor with which we can create our own Mercs (not the IMP) but also Modify the ones in game in a sandbox kind of setting for single and multiplayer!

If not, I hope they will give us a option to be able to create more then one IMP Merc.

That would be sweet! Make every merc past the first one significantly more expensive than the previous one to keep it balanced, and you'd be able to make a team of your own should you wish for that to be a thing.

In the end, I hope they make the game mod friendly. Should the base game be good enough, a massive modding scene will gather around this title and we can expect great things from that point onwards

[avadream]

It would be epic if we could choose between some of the personality traits for the MERCS, including their voices, intonations, emotions and spoken words.

Same for the IMP characters, give us more then just a few voices to choose from. Give us vocal expressions that surprise us throughout the campaign but completely in sync with the MERC's personality. The RPG part is extremely important.

Here is a wild idea: How cool would it be if Haemimont Games did what Beamdog did, and held a contest with submission entries to be the next characters? I think that would give some fans something to be extra excited about, the chance to be a character in JA3.

That would be awesome since I have tons of ideas.
Yet I would love to see several of the characters from the previous game return too. :)

Ira was from the States, she was just in Arulco to help out. After they knocked off the queen I'd imagine she probably stayed there though
