Is having two companions at once supposed to happen?

[VenomAxe]

I was walking around with Rex, and I decided to head over to the Old Mormon Fort. I was looking around for Arcade Gannon because I read that he could be a companion (it had been a long time since I played this game). I used the confimed bachelor perk and just like that, he was a companion. But he actually said "A courier, a doctor, and a robotic dog ...". Am I out of the loop or is this only for Arcade? I have never had two companions at once on a nonmodded game.

You can have one humanoid and one creature companion following you at a time.

You can have 1 non- humanoid companion (Ed-e or Rex ), then 1 human companion (cass, raul, lily, arcade, boone, or veronica).

2 human, 1 human and 1 cyborg/robotic are the only valid combinations, currently; wiithout a mod you can have only 2 companions in your party maximum and in the combination(s) already stated. You can round up a nice group of companions and hold them up at the 38 Suite or simply send them back to their natural points of origin (where you found them). Once you establish "companionship" you can always approach the desired companion and ask them to travel with you without speech challenges. That bout sums up basic companion management.

There's always outfitting or loadout and companion quests too, but those topics are separate discussions -more an FYI at this point.

No, you can't even have two human companions. There is no "different" combination, only one human and one creature is allowed.

yeah, was thinking back to 1 & 2 - FO3 & NV 1 human(oid) & non-human.
What B said.

I wanted to ask because when I was at Black Mountain with ED-E I was able to recruit Raul as well without a problem so it confused me

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
