    Randver is the "king-in-waiting", and when you talk to him so he'll let you into Loghaire's hidey-hole, you have to have enough INT to start him telling you about Dwarven philosophy, "stone and shape". If you don't have this info when you talk to Loghaire, he won't return to his people, and he won't join you later. I think you need at least 12 or 13 INT. I can't remember.

    I figured out why Jormund doesn't count. I'm on another game and again he is a freebe. And I think it's because I saved his life by solving the murder. So of course he'd stick around, like the dog when you save his life. - Edythe

    HEy..perso who said this :

    erm... If Dog + Raven + Virgil + Perriman didn't count... *checks his lvl-20-charisma character* ... I could have had... 6 + 4 = 10 followers ?¿?¿ Sounds a bit high to me, especially balance-wise (and framerate-wise, for my ol'P350).

    Dog is th eonly on in that list htat doesnt count..but you DID forget robots *cringes with happiness* all i have to say. Automatons= broken as HELL. I had an anrmy of 3.. a medical arachnid and virgil and nothing could beat me. so its like 6+1+Damn near infinity=major unbalanced gameplay

    Odd... I cleared Jormund of the murder charges, but he will not join me because I'm full up on followers (Virgil, Magnus, Jeyna w/ Cha 13). So at least in that case, it seems like Jormund "counts". I wonder what would happen if I packed up my ever-present mechanical arachnid? After all, if you buy boat passage and your arachnid is walking around, you need to pay for its ticket -- but if you fold it away, it no longer counts as a passenger.

    On a related note, does anyone know if Torien Ke (sp?) is a "freebie" follower or not? He wouldn't join me because I was too oriented towards good, but I was wondering if he would have also checked for number of followers. Just curious.

    Thanks.

    If we're going to keep bumping this topic, PLEASE change its subject.

    'NCP' stands for 'National Car Parks' and in central London they are EVERYWHERE. I have literally had a conversation in the past about there being too many of them. Everytime I see the subject line of this topic, the rod up my arse wiggles alarmingly :eek:

    Hey! Me being a mod, I have to be at the index page alot. And for the past few days (it's over now) there was this fiveassmonkey guys post at the modding section. I kept looking at it all the time and laughing, but after some time it became torture. fiveassmonkey. That really knocks my funny bone.
