Charon is horrible, I fought off 4 giant radscorpians and he got killed by a regular little radscorpian. I tried to lug him around as a human shield but some raider chick chopped his arm off... bitch.
I allways found Charon to be a reasonably fine companion (compared to Jerich, and god forbid, Butch). He never really required much lookng after, once he was equipped with Enclave Power Armour (of any kind) and was better when equipped with T5-1B Armour. Eventually though I decided that Fawkes was better, and the karma change was worth it. Although, once I got both of the perks that enable you to gain money for killing good/bad humans, Fawkes proved a nuisance. With his Special Gatling Laser, he would kill most human enemies way too fast compared to me, meaning I wouldn't recieve the Ears/Fingers from their bodies, so I couldn't sell them for more money.
I've been followerless since then, partl because all the other follwers were crap compared to Fawkes and I just couldn't work with Fawkes, and partly due to some unfortuante incident that occured after installing "Broken Steel" and "Point lookout" and then going to Point lookout, which ended up with me not being able to get my followers to join me anymore, since they all claimed that I allready had a follower with me even though I didn't. This meant I couldn't get them to join me or retrieve the items I had left with them without having to attempt pickpocketing them. This means Im now stripped of a fair few decent and special weapons that I would really like back. It's a shame Im playing on the xBox version, meaning I can't just use console commands/cheats to give me back my followed and items. It's a shame too, since I'm so far through in the game, having practically every achievment minus the Karma~level ones. I've completed every other quest and collected every single special weapon. As well as having visited every place and completed all 5 of the Add-Ons. Oh well. :/
