So there I was off on my grand adventure in my adventure mode, where all the civilizations are on one giant Pangaea surrounded by frozen waters. Where during harsh storms it rains human blood, and due to the harsh weather conditions, your lucky to keep your bottle of Gatorade from freezing in under a minute, so savor every inch of water you find right?!  So lets start out with the problem I am having with the adventure mode, so I start out to some lair some Milker wants dead because it ate his wife some time ago - before I left however ,I met an incrediabley detailed female crossbow-woman that I just had to take with me. So after a time I convince her and we start our journey to slay the demon for the milk man, we crossed dangerous jungles, hills, and mountains when we stumble across a river. Mind you this is the smallest river I've ever seen and we were both lightly dressed (metal is rare in this world) so I figured oh what the hell! we jump in and begin swimming, and within a few seconds I make it to the other side. But - to my dismay my lovely female companion was flaying in the water, RIGHT NEXT TO ME. To my horror, I hit U keys, I keys, and every key I could think of to try and aid my drowning future girlfriend who was a tilset or less away, but alas nothing was possible.

PROPOSAL - Please add a way to maybe grab an npc in a tile close to you and throw them? So I could of saved my comapnion, or someway to pull them out of water with advanced commands. Just little things like that make a big difference.

Wrestling. Then watch in amusement as your crossbowman thanks you by shooting a bolt in your spine.

Well, one good idea is to not jump into rivers with companions who can't swim, and find a bridge instead.  I find this works a lot better.

[killerbees1218]

Yeah I forgot that you can check your companions stats haha, now I know - and this was a river where no bridge was for miles - and I was already short on food. Still I think more advanced commands should be added to the.. well advanced commands.

Fast travel over the river -_-

[killerbees1218]

You can do that? every time I tried it wouldn't let me, and I went up and down that thing too. Kept deadstopping me like it was a mountainrange.

You cannot fast travel over river in 0.34.

[AleAndSteel]

usually the fast-travel restricted area around rivers is very small. I just jump into the river and go to the other side, and the companions ofcourse are about to drown, but they struggle long enough for me that i can get to the other side and move a bit until i'm out of the restricted area zone, and then use fast-travel which will spawn the drowning companions right next to you when you stop again.

But yeah that's really just an temporary workaround for an issue, i totally want to be able to pull companions out of the water, or even carry them when they have been critically wounded and are uncouncious. I also want to be able to drag enemys and be able to throw them around

[Proteus]

I usually cross the river and then walk around on the other side (near where I crossed the river), till my companions appear ...
initially they take several turns, no doubt due to drowning/floundering, but finally they make it.
And after several of these river crosings they got better and better, finally obviously having gained some swimming skills.

I call it "learning swimming the hard way"
and havenīt lost any companion due to drowning yet

I wouldnīt dare to cross rivers with them that are extremly large, however (i.e. more than 5 tiles on the normal map)

What sorcery is this?!! The new version scares me.

[Proteus]

Toady is just fair towards the carps, milkfish and tigerfish inhabiting the rivers,
giving them a chance to feast on tasty adventurers

[Xotano]

technically you could have saved her, if you move to a space where you have a companion stranding they will switch places with you, i use this to get alot of my living companions that cant swim across rivers and ponds and such.

[Thecard]

Oh, yeah.  I forgot about fast travel.  If you had actually ran away far enough, you could have fast traveled and saved her.  Oh well, it's not like she could have been your girlfriend, your only problem is the bogeymen.

[Proteus]

Dunno,
you have to run far away enough from the river to enter quick travel again
and the little problem is that you cannot see your companions while they are siwimming (and/or drowning) in the river.

If I remember correctly companions which you cannot see when you go into fast travel will vanish
(at least thatīs the reason why I for my part always wait till they all are out of the water again and can be seen by me)

[Thecard]

No, just unconscious get left behind.
