Title: Mercs Following limit
Post by: Dog Sullivan on June 17, 2010, 01:14:03 pm: Hello all. This morning i was reading about buying a merc. My charisma is 4 so i am allowed just to have one at once, i know. But i have read on wiki that you can have no limit of them if you let them watching at your base. But when today i was going to buy the second one, the woman who sell them at NCR told me: "you are too ugly...im not givin g more mercs to go with you"(something like that)

So, where is my mistake?

My merc is waiting for me at my base, so i have no follower right now. Anyone can help?

Thanks!

wiki is outdated. After wipe even mercs left at base/tent counts in your limit. Take Gain charisma and magnetic personality to increase your merc limit. Also you can use 2x mentats to get 2 more mercs.

thanks for the mentats tip!
But when the effects run out you won't be able to use those two extra mercs at all until the others die.

Still, if you use them for spot guarding, just use mentats, put all the mercs in their spots, give commands and it is done.

apparently your merc didn't die.

Was it in an encounter? If so use the +requesthelp (message) to get him back... or you could always ~disbandparty but that'll delete all your followers.
