    Automatons are good, but they don't increase their skills, and just store up character points...They also can't carry stuff for you. They are good because they never complain, they have great resistances yada yada yada, but there's nothing like having a few pack mules to do your bidding for you.

    blade launcher(just gunsmithy) is a good weapon if your going to be maxing your firearms, another good one is the tesla gun( gunsmithy, and electricity,)use the blade launcer against low dr creatures and tesla gun on creatures wearing metal armor(like chain mail) for most times they have low er

    regarding magnus, he is a hard guy to keep happy, you need a good alignment and about lvl 8+

    If you want to be techie using Firearms pick Gunsmithy and Electricity. You'll be weak at the beginning so raise your charisma fast to get 3-4 followers.

    As for Magnus you must be polite while talking to him, don't laugh at him etc. and at the end of the dialog you'll get the option of asking him to join you.

    Ah, well, you've screwed up the approach...you only get one chance with some NPC's...unfortunately for you, it looks like you've missed yours...

    regarding the anarchid, this gadget is no good except if your going to make it as an automaton

    about magnus do you have an extreme personality background, cuz this was the only time that he wont join me when i was using this background, esp when magnus reaction is not neutral

    Yes it is a found schematic. However, because of the components required you will probably have to get full smithy and mechanical disciplines anyway (unless someone has found another solutions besides cheating).
