Questions about companion

ManMadeGod · Post by **ManMadeGod** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 7:26 am

I know each joinable NPC requires different karma.

It was said that the number of your companions varies. Someone can bring more than 2 companions without dogmeat. For example, Charon and Fawkes follow at the same time.

Some players say you can have only one follower and dogmeat at a time even without dogmeat.

Sometimes NPC tells you your party is full and can't join.
So I start to guess it has something to do whit your charisma just like fallout2.

Anyone knows anything about this?
Thanks.

Goekhan told me:

There's a glitch that you can get more than one companion (not counting Dogmeat of course). It's simply expressed as, first you need to recruit someone, tell him that he's fired, get another companion and talk the fired one to get back. There are some restrictions however, if you visit hometowns of these companions, they can leave you, or some of them need to be recruited before others. It's a bug, normally you can only have Dogmeat and 1 companion that you want. Though, I suspect that some companions (like Charon) could be considered as a "mercanary" rather than a companion, or it's just a bug.

I don't know all the Followers you can get but I know you can these...

Charon in Necropolis
Jericho in Megaton
Star Paladin Cross in the Citadel
There's a Women from Arlington Library BotS.
Red from Big town will travel with you for a period of time
Fawkes of course since you mentioned him
Of course Dogmeat, who doesn't count against the henchmen.

As for how you get more of them unless ManMadeGod's idea doesn't work I couldn't tell you cause I have never had more then 1+dogmeat.

Keep in mind that they will tell you where they will wait for you after you let them go so you can find them later should you want to use them again.

I have both the Star Paladin from the Citadel and Charon the Ghoul.

I got Charon by killing the bird who works in the shop and the Star Paladin offered to join me when i talked to her in the Lab at the Citadel......I also had Dogmeat but he got killed by a super mutant behemouth.

How did you get both to follow you? neither will join me if the other is with me. I have even tried leaving Star Paladin Cross out side in case having her right there next to me was making it so he wouldn't join me. In either case I can only get one Byped Follow to stay with me(and i Have been trying all the tricks I have read thus far.

Also one other question are you playing on x-box 360 PS3 or PC? I'm on the PC, Just trying to get a feel for if things are playing out differently on the consoles compared to a PC.

I play Xbox 360.

I got Charon BEFORE the Star Pallidan and have good Karma.

However..... Spoiler below

I am a bit annoyed however as i have just done the G.E.C.K quest and as part of the quest you get taken by the Enclave and i lost both my followers with all tehir equipment - does anyone know whereabouts they would be??

Charon will be in the 9th circle in Necropolis and Star Paladin Cross will be in the Brotherhood of the steel area pretty much where you got her to begin with.

Hrmm wonder if there's a glitch between the two, cause on the PC it's pretty firm on not giving you two other then when you first meet Fawkes(the brief time he's with you but you can't DO anything with him). Wonder if it's the same for PS3 players. Lucky you on your 360 get two followers I'm so jelious
