On my first playthrough I kept seeing how you're supposed to be able to have two companions. Everytime I'd go to recruit a second one they'd tell me I already have a companion. Hell, Cass told me "I'm not in the mood for a threesome, today....."

I started a second playthrough the other day and all of a sudden had no problem asking Boone to come with me while I had ED-E. :glare:

Anyone else see an issue like that?

ED-E, like Dog Meat back in Fallout 3, doesn't take up the companion slot. You can take him with any other companion, just not more then one humanoid companion.

Yeah...it's not any two companions, it's one humanoid and one non-humanoid, w/the latter being ED-E and Rex.

1 Humanoid and 1 non-humanoid

I guess that clears that up. I never saw it had to be a mix, all the things I read just said 2 companions. Good to know though. My first playthrough I didn't fix ED-E right away and went too far to do his quest by the time I started reading the wiki. Did the same thing with Boone too, I think I was 1 point away from ending his quest. Weaksauce.

i didnt know that.so i could have for example ede rex and veronica?

No. Echonite is incorrect (or encountered some bug). EDE and Rex do not mix.
