Invisible Dread Thralls

Recommended Posts

I've had two dread thralls for a little bit now, but they recently suddenly disappeared. I used the player.moveto command and using the RefID of one of my thralls, I was teleported to a spot about 5m from where I was originally standing. There was no one around at all. I tried the other thrall's RefID and it came up with an error saying that it didn't exist. I reloaded a save where they were still with me and the command worked. I still have two active reanimate thrall effects in my "Active Effects" tab.

 

Is there a chance that one or both will come back? I tried fast travelling around for a bit, but nothing happened. They weren't particularly great thralls, but I want to find them so that if I run into better thrall candidates, I can be sure that they won't disappear forever. I've read about people enchanting their thrall's armor and levelling them up. How the hell do they do this when the bloody things disappear after less than 30 minutes? Is there some sure way of keeping them (like do I have to wait for them to catch up with me when they walk really slowly way behind me or when they get stuck on a tiny rock that I walked over)? I'd rather not spend the rest of my game reloading saves just because my thralls have gone AWOL again or spend the whole game waiting for them to catch up with me - or worse, having to run back, then run wide AROUND the stupid bloody table/chair/rock/nothing that they've got themselves stuck behind again. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks :)

OK, this just got weirder. I've reloaded my last save before they disappeared. I walked the same way I had before, but walking backwards to watch them. I'm on the track below Yorgrim Overlook walking west towards Forsaken Cave. On the track, my thralls suddenly disappear right in front of my eyes.

Anyone know why this would be happening? Is this area just bugged or are there other places like this where your thralls will suddenly disappear?

 

Edit: I tried killing them and leaving their bodies while I explored the new area. I was gone a few minutes and didn't really go far away. When I came back, they'd disappeared. So, me walking along that track seems to be what triggers it. Unless it's a timed thing? Surely it can't be that their cells are resetting - I've only just got them!

 

Edit again: I checked the ruin/castle thing that I found them at and saw that a regiment of Stormcloaks had moved in. I've read that updating cells can cause any thrall's that spawned in that cell to disappear. Is that what's caused this? Is there a way to stop this happening (other than relying on named thralls)?
