Arcade Gannon is an awesome guy, with an awesome backstory that I will not spoil here.

So, shouldn't he be a more viable Companion than, say, some NCR soldier, some Brotherhood Of Steel chick, or some Nightkin that thinks you're its grandson?

Prepare to have that FIXED like a MALE NCR RANGER that got CAPTURED ALIVE and GIVEN TO A HIGH-RANKING LEGIONAIRE AS A CHRISTMAS BONUS.
If enough people whine about the aforementioned joke, I will replace it with the less-hilarious 'Fixed like a DOOR that was FIXED by a PERSON whose JOB it is to FIX DOORS'.
