Forum:Lost follower

Basicly my problem is I can't get any follower besides dogmeat. I had the Paladin for awhile, but she either died or got completely lost. After her I had fawkes and dogmeat, well dogmeat died before I got the puppies perk. I went to operation anchorage and when I came out fawkes was outside waiting for me. I went to point lookout and it told me fawkes went back to the museum of history. I finally got the puppies perk and got dogmeat back, then went to get fawkes again. He says I have another follower. So I tried a few other followers just to be sure, and they all say it. I tried firing dogmeat and it didnt work, i tried killing dogmeat and it didnt work. No matter what I do, it keeps saying I have another follower. I'm wondering if maybe the paladin is lost somewhere counting as a follower, though i got fawkes after her so I don't see how that'd work.--Shinrinn
