    Found a quirk in the game that allows me to have 3 followers even though I'm only aloted two.
    At the ring shop in Tarant (where you first meet Magnus) I had Viril and Sogg(sp?), I told Sogg to wait outside the store so I could accept Magnus into my party. After returning from the adventures in the ring store I told Sogg that he could stop waiting and he rejoined my party, no questions asked.
    I now have three followers although stats say I should only have two, however If I tell Sogg to wait for me somewhere, he will not rejoin the party, admiting that I already have a full crew.
    Wondering if anyone else encountered this, maybe it's not a bug, maybe I got the extra character cause I'm such a fantastic kinda guy. =P

    Are you sure? Check again. Maybe after you went back up to meet Sogg, you increase your persuasion or charisma thus giving you 1 extra follower.

    That might've been what happened, however I can't tell Sogg to wait anywhere or he'll leave permenantly.

    There's something quirky about how NPCs join your party.
    Sometimes they'll join, and other times they'll tell you some excuse why they don't want to join.
    Generally speaking, your CH/3 dicates how many followers you can have, but I'm not sure if this allways the case.

    yeah bugs AWAY but this works our way, but be careful with temporary followers like chakka, he joined even though I had max followers I told him to wait t the isle of despair to take care of some gladiators upon returning he did not want to join saying I have too much poor guy reamined there for the rest of his life

    Dog count as follower?

    The dog seems to follow me even thogh I am only supposed to have two followers...

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm

    [I am naming him "buttbiter" since I get an an enemy down to maybe 10% and then the dog bites him in the butt, killing the enemy. LOL!]

    The dog is a man's best friend and won't take much space as a follower. LIke when you summon an animal, an orc, an undead, etc.

    By being an expert in persuasion you will be given 1 extra follower.

    yeah the bordello woman can give tou expert right? but calculating, it's not worth giving the neclace back since it's +40 magic resistance even for 100% tech it works since it has notin to do with ampitude.

    Nope I think you are correct and I was wrong. For some reason I thought it was CH/3. But I'm sure you're right.

    I have 7 followers if you include the dog..and to tell you the truth, they are all pretty much worthless. All the enemies are dead before my mates even have a chance to reach the enemy (12 shots with azram star ownz)

    Nasrudin's son, I forgot the name, is also not counted in your follower's list.

    Heh, you mean Arronax. Doesnt mean much though, since he cant join you until the end of the game.

    My current party includes

    Extremely-deadly-and-not-worthless mutt
    Sogg the butt spanker!
    Chukka the crusher!
    Magnus
    Virgil who-wont-ressurect-followers..bah
    Dante
    Elven chick from quintarra(dont remember her name)

    By the way, with 20 in persuasion, it seems like your reputation with followers cannot get any lower, the question is, can it get higher(not counting smoking suit and higher beauty)?

    The 20 persuasion rule could be why my character's 'charm' spell effects don't wear off when I cancel the spell. (+20 react per casting =])
