Tell the truth I mostly used the allies as living shields. Maybe you can give the allies a heath bar as well and when it is depleted, you cant use tat buddy for the rest of the run.
ok so I was doing the quest when green wolves are introduced(the one where the dude is mourning for his dead dog and wants revenge) and I got past the loading screen but it freezed right when I entered combat.not sure if its my computer but it deleated my save when I tried to refresh the page.
