That's because the game is combat heavy and most recruitable NPCs you'll meet barely qualify as fighters – your main team will have to pull the weight. Your main characters in the Wasteland 2 will be mostly combat-centric – you can afford 1 non-combat specialist, but that's it. (this guide is a Director's Cut of my original W2 guide - since RPG system haven't changed heavily, lots of the stuff remains, however, there are new additions to deal with the balance changes and quirk/perk additions)
