Fallout 3 companions

This page lists the available companions or joinable non-player characters in Fallout 3.

Unlike previous Fallout games, the followers don't level up independently, but they are scaled to the level of the player character. The PC will receive full experience points for enemies killed by the companions.

It is possible to have more than one follower. I currently have Charon, Cross, and Dogmeat in my party. I was not able to do this on my first playthrough, differences between first and second playthru: level was higher(20), charisma was higher(10), choose different dialogue(I don't suppose I can stop you). Not sure what made the difference.
