Ithlia Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm asking this here because I suppose it could be seen as a spoiler. I had Marcurio as a follower. I picked up a Dawnguard radiant quest and the quest was that Marcurio had been kidnapped and I had to go rescue him. So I checked and sure enough he wasn't where I had left him, which was also his home using the My Home is Your Home mod. I found him and saved him but there was no conversation options so he wouldn't follow me. So I figured he would return home or to the Bee and Barb once I completed the quest. However he isn't in either of those places and now I can't find him. I waited a few days in game but no luck. Anyone have any idea how I can get my follower back? Also does anyone know if this is a reoccurring quest because if all my followers start getting kidnapped I'm going to stop doing the Dawnguard radiant quests.

OakRain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not sure I know how to reliably get your follower back,but the rescue quest was quite common for me on my last play through of Dawnguard - each time a different follower (who I had previously had in my service) and on several occasions a random NPC for whom I had done favors in the past(every single one had spouse type responses upon rescue lol).Upon rescue the victim will always make their own way home.NPCs can take a very long time to travel relatively short distances. I had one instance where Balgruf took over a week to get back to Dragons Reach from High Hrothgar after Season Unending had finished.I eventually found him outside the meadery near Whiterun - he was walking into a fence and had to be nudged back onto the road to get him to go home. The rescue quest is radiant,as you know,so making a save outside Dayspring Canyon allows you to reload and try again for a different radiant quest target if the one you get is not to your liking.I have ended up doing this for many radiant quests as very often the same locations keep being repeated.Reloading to try again only works if you save before entering the cell where quest giver is located.

Ithlia Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thank you OakRain. I logged back into the game after posting this. I waited a week then went looking again. He wasn't at his home or the Bee and Barb so I went back to where I had to rescue him from to search for him in there again and this time I found him wandering around in there. Fortunately his conversation options were back so I had him as a follower again. Thanks for the saving tip. I had completely forgotten about that.
