Circumstances:I'll give you the brief version. I see an Outcast Switchblade near Fort Bush, kill it with little difficulty. Then there's a Hacker Sabre, and it takes me an hour to kill him by the seat of my pants. Switch over to California, and I find 4 Rogues pirating. I manage to nail one as they all scramble. Then I go through Ontario and pick up another Rogue (both factionalized) as it runs for its life.
