Can't save Vic (Fallout 2)

Sod4
Sell ​​Sulik to Metzger XD Well, or slam one of the traders in the Hole (better than the one in the eastern part of the 1st location of the Hole, at the same time you can disperse the kleptomaniac kids) and sell his junk to the other.

There are many ways to make money in the game. And you can overwhelm Metzger and his cronies, but this is not an easy task at the beginning. The game is non-linear, and Vick doesn't have to be saved. In extreme cases, it will be possible to return for it later, when there is already money or better equipment.

Here, the previous speaker is talking about it. Come back later and kill all the slavers if you're playing a positive character. In general, this unfortunate thousand is easily accumulated by this time. Just loot everything and sell to merchants.
