I was wondering in the game, "Fallout 3," what team is the best for a good character. Here are the choices, and if you have any other answers please post them. PS: Please don't say both, by using the follower glitch.

1. Fawkes - I think Fawkes is by far the best follower because his weight capacity, his monstrous health, and of course his huge Gatling Laser. However a major disadvantage is that he can't wear armor. If he could wear armor, Fawkes with the T51-b Power Armor and T51-b Power Helmet would be the obvious choice. Coupled with his monstrous health and Gatling Laser, Fawkes would be the definition of ownage. Fawkes requires good karma. Default: Vault Suit, Fawkes' Super Sledge, Gatling Laser.

2. Star Paladin Cross - For people who want their follower to wear good armor, *cough cough* T51-b Power Armor *cough cough* without it getting damage, they usually give it to their follower. For most good characters they pick Star Paladin Cross as this follower. Her Super Sledge makes her a formidable opponent in close combat, but almost everyone replaces her Laser Pistol with something that packs more of a punch. Star Paladin Cross requires good karma. Default: Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor, Super Sledge, Gatling Laser.

3. Charon is an extremely popular choice for every kind of hero, due to the fact that she does not have a karma requirement. Sort of a default hero Charon is adapt in using a shotgun which is extremely helpful in many situations. With the wanderer in Tesla or Power Armor, Charon in T51-b Power Armor, and Dogmeat, the team is almost unstoppable. Charon does not require specific karma. Default: Leather Armor, Charon's Shotgun, Combat Knife.

So which follower do you think would be the best, post thoughts and comments below.

Sincerely, David.

Fawkes, because he's like a giant steamroller. He just flattens everything in his path. I had Star Paladin Cross with me for a while, but she died at Evergreen Mills (luckily I had a save from before she died). She left when Fawkes came, and what a difference. She didn't soak up or dish out nearly as much damage as Fawkes. Charon's too ugly though = / Too bad Dog Meat inexplicably died on me, I miss him...

Fawkes, there's not even competition. All my other followers died off (bad playing by me, though), including Cross and Charon (yes, I was playing extremely badly), but Fawkes has not even died once and caused me to reload because of it.

Oh, I made a mistake, I put Star Paladin Cross' default gun as the Gatling Laser, it is in fact the Laser Pistol.

Where did you find that info? Because everywhere I look, Fawkes is referred to as he or his.

I've got Charon and Star Paladin Cross right now as followers -- they're pretty good, but Charon tends to run off and get lost all the time. I think his perception is pretty high or something and he's very gung-ho. :) Can't wait to get the dog to fill out my wasteland wandering crew.

it kinda takes the fun out of the game if you have a follower imo, (i only keep jerhico around cus' he holds anything else i pick up if i become close to max weight. dog meat..what can i say he'd distract targets while i shoot em' in the head. but when i used fawks for a short time the game was WAY too easy, and felt kinda pointless to a degree so i told em' to beat it lol.

You can only have two followers at one time, you know that right? When it comes to pure offensive and defensive capability, nothing beats Fawkes. He is great with the Gatling Laser and is a better choice for a weapon like the Super Sledge than Paladin Cross. I actually gave Cross the A3-21 Plasma Rifle and she went to town with that.
