Sure.  (There seems to be enough traffic here to start a FAQ.  Hmm......)

Treat the dog as you would almost any other thing in the game.  Waste it.
If you want to see little Bobby whine about his dog and attack you, take the
loot the dog drops (I think its just a jewelery (sp?))

You need to get an engine for the water pump.  You can buy one in the Rail
Nomads camp.  U)se it on the tile where the old/broken pump was.  Someone
will appear out of nowhere and give you some good loot (for starting
characters at least).

Keep him around as a party member until you find someone better. then dismiss
him.  Be sure to relieve him of all his worldly possessions before you do
this. :)

And be sure to keep that servomotor around.  It comes in handy when
you meet that girl in the wheelchair at the motel in Quartz (or is
it Needles?  I always get those two towns mixed up).

You can't do anything with the dog in Highpool - you have to waste him!

The water pump needs a new engine. You can buy a new engine from the rail
nomads for $500. Whatever you do, save those servo-motors for later,
you'll need them!

You'll find that there are a number of characters in this game that will
join your party. You'll have to decide which one's are good enough to keep
around cause you can't keep them all! You'll find that some are better
than others.

You'll find that the majority of characters in the game are useless fools
who burn whole clips of ammunition on desert dwellers....there are only 2
of real use in the game: 1) Christina in needles, you can swipe an uzi off
of her, and its by far the easiest automatic weapon to get, then you can
dump her. 2) Vax (i think thats his name) the "human cyborg relations" bot
that you can get in base cochise...he has some good equipment you can steal,
and a couple useful skills...but no npc can come close to replacing a real
character.

I guess you got a bum copy of the game, because my NPC's are just peachy,
i.e. smart enough to know that you don't burn a clip at anything in 
sight.  The only time they start to burn clips is when my real characters
are getting maimed (unconscious, serious, etc.), and that's
exactly when you DO want your NPCs to do that.

Your last statement makes me think.... if you clone an NPC, do you get
a controllable (PC) character?  Its been a long time since I cloned
anyone, so I don't quite remember how that works.

Christina also have a rad suit which is the best armor at that point of the
game.

Why do you need a servomotor for the girl, the girl is daughter of the
barwaitress type person. All she does is give you lot of stuff that you
need for the game. I only used the servi motors to repair the android,
whose name eludes me at this moment, who tells you about the sleeper base.

I believe if you break into the room the girl will not give you anything
until you used the motor to fix the wheelchair and Max is the the android's
name.  (I haven't played the game in years, so I could be wrong)

Max is the android's name, but the servomotors you find throughout the game have only one purpose:Putting Max back together.
