I want to know if we are going to have many followers or little amounts of followers. Also, I want to know if it will be like the previous fallouts if we are allowed to have 2 followers at max. Next, I would like to know how the followers will behave, will there be a follower who has the "Don't give a [censored]" attitude of Jericho from fallout 3, or if we will have the "Awesome lets go!" attitude like Arcade Gannon from Fallout New Vegas. Finally I want to know if the players actions will affect our followers in any way, e.g. killing a civilian in New Vegas would piss off Arcade. If you guys have any ideas or proof I would love to hear it, thanks.

So far the only follower we know of is the dog. They have not released any information on other possible followers/companions.

its rumored that there will once again be a super mutant follower as well as one is seen fighting alongside the player in the trailer against other super mutants.. but it may just be a quest or something.

So far only dog.

maybe in future we have some of these guys:

-android (unlikely)

- Super mutant (maybe a quest related fella)

- dalek, i mean a robot

- various humans ( like every time)

- ghoul

- some thing totally new like those brains in New Vegas ( i hope we get them as followers).

I'm hoping you can have like 2 or 3 followers in the vanilla game.

Dear God, please if they learned one thing from New Vegas, let it be followers with quests and back-stories rather than Skyrim's attitude of tons of followers, hire almost anyone and then realise they have a few lines each and they get real old, real quick. I actually cared about Cass and Veronica, whereas I only took Kharjo in Skyrim because he was a cat, about the only thing that differentiated him from the mass of nobodies you could have tagging along.

looks like codsworth may be one but whoever was playing in the demo took off while codsworth was making food for you, it looks like you have to talk to codsworth for awhile to get him though. the dog looks like a long term partner according to all the confirmed pics he is in. the ghoul/priate thing maybe a partner in one of the 43 pics shown

Yes, assumed so as you had an supermutant just behind you. It can be an permanent or quest follower.

I say we get followers how well they work is another question.

Like can we order the dog to stay close and not run into the pack of supermutants you snipe or worse nuke

Having the dog run pick up grenade and return it might also be bad

well i saw a rumor on the net that a follower/li if they go that route could be Amata. take it with grain of salt. but they did say believe somewhere someone showing up was depended on a fo3 save important

Probably not. They didn't learn anything from NV, as evident with Skyrim's followers. They're probably just going to give us the illusion of choice by giving us 100 useless, mindless companions again.

ED-E didn't say a word yet has more character than all of vanilla Skyrim's followers.

i think your right but i think frea, serana and the guys name i cannt remember if they give a couple with some backstory im ok with that

ideelete post doubled

I also hope for followers more akin to New Vegas than Skyrim. I don't necessarily need them to have a mission chain or extensive history, but they must have personality and individuality. Fallout 3 had decent followers, in my opinion, and I absolutely believe they can do even better this time around.

who really needs followers though? i mean what evil,cruel,violent,psychopathic person.. wouldn't take the dog.. its.. unheard of.. you should be ashamed for even mentioning other followers.
