there issue with followers, so here it is
I have someone following me from my base that I equipped right, we went in and freed someone out of a cagged who also became a follower.
you can only have one person follow you at time so how do I get the new recurit to follow me back to my base when I already have a follower who is following me around as my guard.
should be able to have more than one follower at time with you.
I had to leave guy i freed behind while i took my other follow back just to come back to get new guy who died due to people spawning back.
and now if you leave follower, they dont go back to base they just stand wherever you left them till they die it seems at leas that been our experince.
Assuming you have already cleared the camp so it is safe to open the cage, there are a couple of ways.
Move your original follower outside the camp, then have him stop following. Go back and put the freed follower on follow and return to base. Your original follower will eventually return to base or if it is close you can go back and get him.
Put the freed thrall on follow and move him outside the camp where he will not be attacked. Take any good equipment off the freed thrall. Go back to camp, open up your followers menu, right click on the thrall and select Rescue. Make sure to put the rescued thrall on guard somewhere in your camp or he will return to the place you originally placed him.
There seems to be a new bug with rescuing thralls where it says the thrall has been in combat for 9 minutes, 59 seconds even if put in a place with no agro. You have to avoid agro yourself for 10 minutes till rescue works.
You can have 2 followers with maximum authority and War Party, but if you have 2 combat thralls following, you need to leave on behind. Also there was a bug in Beta where if you have War Party, you could only have one crafter thrall following and had to leave both your combat thralls behind. Barkeepers are an exception in that they can follow even if you are at your max follower limit. It would be good if crafting thralls worked the same way so they could be escorted back to base.
You can still have a horse following you. It helps in combat if it has all the hp.
You could unfollow one or the other, but I imagine you want somewhere to stash it. If you log, your original follower will return home if out of combat.
I just leave my follower at base while I hunt cages.
specially if you are a long long ways away from your area or base, trying to move them one at time
the fix should be that you can have someone follow you that you released form a cage even when you have a follower already.
this is a game play issues and needs a quality of life patch.
anytime their issue in a game that require player to cheat or to find loopholes to get something accomplished that part of the game, it something that needs to be addressed with a patch.
as of right now game does not allow you to rescue prisoners in cages form camps if you have a follower with you already due to fact that by way game is designed you cant have the prisoner follow you due to follower you already have along.
needs a quality-of-life fix not a loophole or a cheaty get around.
right now fix is to get unlimited compain mod and put it on server and play that way it seems
There is no problem freeing someone from a cage with a follower or 2. The freed thrall will just sit there and likely be slaughtered when the camp respawns if you don’t move him. Siptah players have been dealing with this for years.
