Hello my name is hitboxlogic and I have an idea that i believe would make the use of thralls a little better. I think the thralls should have a weapon slot 1 and weapon slot 2 that you can equip and tell them to use 1 or 2 by simply holding down E, X etc etc depending on what your playing with or using. Example of this would be if you are thralling and have a thrall with you instead of taking their weapon away and giving them a truncheon you could simply have a truncheon in weapon slot 2 and their main weapon in weapon slot 1 so when you see a thrall you would like to grab you simply hold down said button and they will switch to the other weapon slot.

Welcome. I totally understand why you would want that for switching between truncheon and weapon for a thrall, but I would expect that making it easier to use a thrall to knock out npcs is probably the opposite of what they would want. They recently nerfed blunted arrows by virtue of the concussive damage bar regenerating when the npc isn’t aggro’d. That suggests they felt knocking out npc’s was too easy. Perhaps your suggestion would be added if they dropped the amount of concussive damage thralls do.
im not asking to make it easier on knocking thralls out im asking for better thrall control of switching between weapons. You could have whatever weapon on them like 2h sword and bow and just hitting a button for them to switch instead of always going through and telling them to prioritize between range and melee etc etc. Also i meant for when you are out adventuring running through thrall camps if you see a thrall like a good worker or whatever you could just tell your thrall to use a truncheon if they have it in a weapon slot.
It would be better to have an AI that gets the I part a little better and they themselves judge what weapon to use based on cues from the Blackboard.
