In an all human party, I've never run into this problem. I'm no loner, but some of the early missions are easy enough with henchmen, and I gotta admit, sometimes Alesia and crew *are* smarter than some of the groups I've been in!
Take for example, the bonus for the Great Northern Wall--found every pile of wreckage in the mission, but still lacked one piece for the ghost. I made note of where the wreckages were, redid it, and out pops the last piece from a wreckage I searched the last time. Same thing for the quest Minaar's Worry (looking for weapon plans or something).Yes, I acknowledge the best solution right now is to join a max party of players. But this does not negate the fact that a problem exists for people who take the occasional henchman into a party.
