Forum:Cannot Recruit a second companion ...

I am currently unable to recruit a second companion due a bug with ED-E, i have dismissed him as a companion and told him to return to the Lucky 38... I have tried to recruit Arcade Gannon and Cas and also Lilly but none of them will join me because apparently "3 is a crowd" even though it wasjust my Character and Boone in the party ... can anyone suggest a fix to this problem via console command or other method?

Also I am supposed to talk to the Knight in the Brotherhood of Steel Bunker about the Air filter system but when i go to speak to him he is no longer a named NPC but simply a random "BrotherHood Knight" and no longer am i able to converse with him .....again a fix for this would help greatly.

Well first of all if you want to recruit Arcade, Lily, or Cas, you’re going to have to get rid of Boone. Right now you could probably recruit Rex but that’s about it. You see you can’t really take two companions at once, it’s more like one partner and one pet. So you can only bring one humanoid with you at a time and only one non-humanoid. Ed-E and Rex block one another and everyone else blocks everyone else. Bad-People 06:41, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
