SRP, I agree that having a useful skill does not a great character make. But, entertainment aside, I'd rather have the mechanically inclined albeit annoying blonde texan on my bug out team than Rhodes. Admittedly, though, Rhodes would be a more entertaining dude to have around, if for nothing else just to hear him curse at you in that ultra cool way he does. You point is well taken!
