how do followers work?
I don't remember that I used any follower in my previous playthrus.. I don't know who can be a follower, how many of them are there, how can I make them equip any armor or weapon, and where do they go if i dismiss them..

fawkes, i rescued him during the main quest and he followed me, but to not to scare people i left him somewhere, told him to "wait" because other option was "you are fired!" well, it sounded like saying goodbye forever. so i made him wait..

but i asked to chatgpt, and i was told not to worry, you are fired is not a permanent choice but i dont know where he will go.. to vault 87? that place is not directly accessible, it's a loong way thru little lamplight..

questions:
1) how many followers are there
2) where do they go when dismissed
3) what can they wear as armor
4) which weapons can i give them, and what about ammo?
5) do they grant me any perk?
6) and finally, can they die?

bonus: is there anything they like/dislike? can they stop following me upon some actions i do?

Jesus, you know there is a thing called wiki, right? Especially franchises as big as Fallout have massive wikis dangit... no idea why would use use chatgpt garbage.

Ugh, alright, little rant aside. Game has 8 possible "followers", but they are simply called Companions. However Karma decides which ones you can hire so that is something you can count as "like/dislike" system.

When dismissed they go into certain area so you can re-hire them again. It depends on a companion. Dogmeat will be waiting near Vault 101 entrance, for example, but Charon who you can get at Underworld will also wait there. Most of the companions comes from settlements and they will wait in said locations when dismissed.

They can wear and use anything but it has to be superior than their original items. So they can use better outfits and better weapons if you give them such. You have to give them ammo for non-default weapons though.

They don't grant any perks.

They can die.
If you want to know more, such as who can be a companion, check the link to a wiki page!

oh alright, I use chatgpt + asking here for one reason. I don't wanna see and read too many informations unwillingly. That spoils many details, so thats why i ask for things that i wanna know only.

simple eh ;) But i can relate with your ranting, that said my reason is a valid one for me. I used to read wikis before, wiki has 'everything' and it fills you suddenly. I don't want to be filled full ;)

anyways, gpt told me fawkes goes to vault 87 first, then ninth circle (museum of history) but it also said that charon is also there, i asked if they wait in the same place? and it said 'no', so i said there must be 2x ninth of circle then? and it said no again.. and I was confused.

I saw a perk about dog, so i knew he was gonna go to vault 101.. still i never met him.

sigh* now I've learnt that they could die. this feels too discomforting, I usually go into intense fights, maybe i should just leave them alone, Incan survive alright.. but that makes them a great liability.. more than an asset.

Fawkes will wait you outside of the Underworld, Charon will wait you inside the Ninth Circle.

thank you buddy :) now the confusion is gone and no additional info was gained.

I'm more of a people person I'm afraid, I like to ask, talk and discuss. We are here for eachothers..

of the people, for the people ;)

Absolutely agree with you on wiki giving too much info. Sometimes you just need a little fraction of it, and it's more interesting to find out other details by actually playing the game.
