So, my character has 9 Charisma and is an apprentice in Persuassion, thus I should be allowed to have max 2 followers. But for a time, I had three - namely, before I decided to start over because reasons.

So, during my first (quick, never left Tarant) playthrough, I did as follows:

1. Went to Tarant with Virgil.

2. Recruited Magnus.

3. Completed P. Schuyler & Sons' 'basement' without strucking a deal with them.

4. Freed and recruited Gar.

Right then, I had three followers: Virgil, Magnus, and Gar.

But, during my current playgthough, I did as follows:

1. Went to Tarant with Virgil and Sogg.

2. Freed Gar but was too low leveled for him to join.

3. Reached a higher level but Gar refused to join as my group was too big for him.

4. Magnus doesn't want to join on the same ground.

So, I have two followers: Virgil and Sogg.

My question is, does anyone understand why could I have three followers during my first playthrough, but can't have them now?

The one on the right, looking like a wall. It seems to heavily lower my chance of hitting the target.
