Here's a thread to discuss how you'll be able to get new followers in the game. (I've decided at some point I need to change the name of this mod to "followers") Here are my initial thoughts. It's a work in progress, so it could change. Comments / Suggestions welcomed...

• There will be different ways to acquire different followers

• Enemies: When you kill an enemies, there is a small chance they'll join you. These followers cannot be resurrected. They'll have limited functionality. (combat commands only)

• Rares: These will be powerful followers that can be found in the world by exploration. They'll have unique skins and voices, and superior combat abilities. One example I've started already is a "Fallout 2" character wearing power armor. (using the skin from Fallout 2)

• Helpers: These can probably be creating just like logistics robots. They can harvest/mine for you, fetch stuff, and maintain aging equipment (if you have Wear and Tear installed)
