	In Fallout Online, you can have a group of people following you in your adventures. Moreover, [[Followers\|NPCs]] aren't the only option you have to form a party. Being a multiplayer game, you have the option to let [[Player]]s join your group as well. A skilled player can outdo many types of [[Mercs\|mercenaries]] and provide ample protection in [[PvP\|PvP-heavy]] areas like unguarded mines. Of course, if you are uncomfortable of being a leader, you can simply join someone else's group. (Don't forget to ask though!)
