Saving Goblin Prisoners
« on: July 28, 2008, 09:17:11 pm »
I've been assaulting goblin towers in adventure mode recently, and realized to my delight I could try to save the prisoners. I get one ten-year-old dwarf to follow me and escaped to a nearby human town. Nothing changed. I went through considerable trouble to get to a dwarven hall. Nothing changed. I strangled the kid to death in frustration in the middle of a forest. Nothing changed.
I could find no way to find out what his home town was. Is this feature broken/not implemented yet?

I think he was trying to convey a point, more than misunderstanding your explanation.

And no. They, like all other followers, will only stop following you if they die or if you Travel while they are unconscious.
