Bug Description:

Barkeeper won’t follow after being placed behind bar.


Bug Reproduction:

Rescue barkeeper from cage. Follows just fine. Place behind bar, then remove from bar and have follow again. Barkeeper will follow through transporters, but will stay in place wherever they were last. In order to move, you need to place to guard in a new spot every time you move somewhere.

If you move them to a new spot, you can rename, dress, and treat them like any other thrall.

Yes, I’m aware… but that’s not the issue. The issue is that they don’t actually follow once you’ve placed them behind the bar for the first time. I’m not asking them to follow WHILE tending the bar, I’ve already removed them from it. If they’re suppose to be followers now, then they should follow at any time I so choose. They just stand there.

I understand. This is why they should not count as a follower when doing the job. I see why they are followers because of how they are obtained, but when they are on post, they are a crafter, and should not count as a follower.

It makes more sense to me to tell someone to stop the job before leaving to follow you.

Yes, place a transportory stone next to your bar and after you place the barkeeper, destroy the transportory stone!

Kind of an expensive work around… that being said, I’ve been moving them and placing them to guard if I’m further away from my transporter. Rinse and repeat until you get to your destination.

How many times you’ll decide to relocate a tavern counter top in a different part of the map ? So far i did it only once!
The only expensive is the 3 ritual blood vials, all the rest is nothing. Loosing some silver bars, or brimstone, who cares! Loosing your patience with the game is far more important from everything else :laughing:.
Then another bug of barkeepers is that they pull out the food from the thrall pot. In order to remove it you have to remove them from the bar for awhile and open their inventory.
But one thing is certain @jmk1999, these bugs exist and workarounds matter not, fixings is the only thing that matters. So thanks for reporting and giving me the chance to remember other malfunctions of our barkeeper.
Plus it would be awesome to suggest in another topic the purchase interaction. I use bar women for mead since gold is always plenty now, but it’s annoying to spam the button. I would like to be able to buy greater quantity by typing the number if the products that i need. I know it sounds silly request, but spam one by one for hundreds of meads it’s annoying too.
