Forum:Follower problem

I've just left Raven Rock, and convinced Fawkes to join me. Previously, I had Charon following me, and, as per usual in the game, he immediately went back to Underworld the moment Autumn captured me. However, when I went back to Underworld, Charon refused to follow me because "I had someone else under employment," and the game then said I could only have 1 follower-- when, before, it clearly stated I could have 2.

What's going on here? Is this a glitch, or does Fawkes take up the space of 2 followers?

No he takes up 1, when did your game tell you, you can have 2? - RASIC 20:53, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The second follower spot is for Dogmeat only. Spoon 21:00, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Or his puppy. I don't think you could have both at once. Spoon 21:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You can get 2 followers using the Multiple Permanent Companion Glitches. See this section in http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_glitch_exploits. For Fawkes and Charon, you needed to fast travel to Underworld immediately after exiting Raven Rock, but BEFORE talking to Fawkes. Re-Hire Charon, then fast travel back to Raven Rock, Fawkes will come up and talk to you and join you as normal even though Charon is with you... Pgoon 15:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I just tried that, and...it didn't work. For some reason, Fawkes never shows up when you return to Raven Rock.

Could this glitch not work on the Xbox version, perhaps?
