Wow.. that sucks... he only showed up once for you?
What's your luck at? I think mine's 4 or 5... it got upped once by a book so far, I believe.
It probably varies from game to game, but I do think your Luck being at least around 5 guarantees he shows up fairly often.
I wasn't kidding when I said he shows up about once every four fights... most people I know of that have picked that perk have had the same good luck with him that I have.
Totally agree that you shouldn't have to "rely" on the "Mysterious Stranger" perk, or any perk for that matter.. to keep you alive, but believe me.. it doesn't hurt either.
If you have the proper perks and stats, you shouldn't take much dmg by lvl 13 or 14 anyways, true (although what you're fighting/what the difficulty level is set at may change this). So many damned good perks in this game...would make sense to pick a passive/active one that you have control of, that is always present.
My followers haven't died yet either. thankfully.. and one of them is routinely set on fire by super mutants and their ilk.. haha. I usually have one using short-ranged firearms, and one using long-ranged... so that I can bounce between the two to support them. My game's set to very hard.. which I changed it over to from hard as soon as I got my first human follower.
The stranger might've made an appearance and you didn't notice him also, Dekind.. just fyi. A western guitar strums, and he shows up.. kills a mob.. then vanishes again. Easy to miss him if you're embroiled in a huge shootout with 4-5 enemies or more.

Anything like that would be far more beneficial for the game as a whole compared to the stranger perk. Total waste of a point. If you're depending on silly stuff like that to stay alive by that level anyway you have a problem. I was a damage sponge by around 13-14 from the other perks.

As I get farther into the game, I've been seeing more and more glitches, most small, but there's this, and a quest I can't complete because the game locks up. I hope it doesn't get worse.
