Beautiful. I... love you guys. So, uh... like... this Buds for youse.
Just once though, I'd like to be accepting a mission to protect Lawrence Stytch and prevent Omni-Tek observation while he is setting up a "hive" or "nest" or whatever you call it in Lush Fields -- while your character is accepting a mission to "live" with him for some time. I'd like to be that Novice Thug you discover in the last room with him. Hope you didn't dupe a key for your buddy 'else I'm a might bit muddled.
Shorter mission times would be a plus here... I wouldn't wait there eight hours of course, but then just have Omni mobs wander in from time to time? I'm too tired to go on much, but I LIKE the idea that I might not finish my mission to protect Lawrence Stytch because you walked in and made a mess of my carcass when you were finished producing it (or I might laugh my Got Back? off when I pasted *you*).
I'd rather run with you than a bot, I'd rather fight you than a mob. Wish it were practical.
