A little of both. I had completed one playthrough with him as my community leader and got a finish with the Trader route, and he was crazy good in combat, so I decided to bring him over as one of the three characters the game lets you transfer to a new playthrough. I ran over a thing called a Bloater in my car as I pulled out onto the main road, which filled the car with the gas. I jumped out with the character I was playinng as and got to safety, but he got out and stood right outside the car, still in range of the gas. And he just stood there. Funny in hindsight I guess, but I’m still salty about it.
