The question is pretty basic. Should a follower (Which is a character controlled by you, who can help your character in battle and other situations, and follows you as long as you want. Oh, and they can be pretty much anything within reason, a robobrain, a mercenary or raider, or even a dog) be awarded to members for one reason or another, or should they be all willy-nilly. There will only be one follower per character. I personally lean toward them being given (where you have faith in the member), as having them free to the player might be problematic. (A mary sue would be twice as annoying with a likewise sidekick who does nothing but sing the other character praises.)

But it's all up to you.

Definitely rewarded.
Otherwise people may wind up with "Ex-Brotherhood Badass Follower #11312" following them for little reason other than "Well, you're ossim".
Which, as a wise man once said, is a very bad thing.

Dogs and other house hold pets (Not Yao-Gai. Maybe mole rats) should be willy nilly. However, humans shouldn't be. You should be able to buy pets, or just raise one from its youth.

I was wondering if we could give people random chances to hire on a mercenary or something. As far as I'm concerned, you should have pretty much endless possibilities as to who your follower is. If you don't have a whole lot of good karma, and assosiate yourself with the right businessmen, then your follower could easily be a slave. The concensus seems to be pretty much rewarded, so rewarded it shall be.
