Thank you for answering, but I still have a question. Is it really the case, that companions that are NOT in my active group and are randomly tossed into ship battles by the game can die permanently? If so, in ship battles I would not only have to manage my own group of 5 but all the other companions/crew members that the game tosses in to "help" me and which I can not control. After every ship battle I then would have to check if any of my NON-active companions/crew members died, because the game would not notify me. Is this really intended? To make it absoluteley clear again: Eder vanished, but I did NOT use him in my active group for the last 10 or so levels.

My party level is 19. I have not done that many ship battles yet, but I noticed that some companions that are not in my active party take part in ship battles and are AI controlled. After my last ship battle, which went without any problems, I decided to level my companions that are not in my active party. Suddenly I notice, that Eder is gone, his quest, equipment, reputation screen as well. He is nowhere to be found. To make this clear, I have recruited Eder perfectly fine, played with him some time and then switched him out for Pallegina as tank. Now he is suddenly gone. Can companions actually die in ship battles when not in active party and controlled by AI??? If yes, whey did the game not tell me so I could reload? I have put many hours (80+) into this and have no save game with him still present (haven't checked for a while because I did not expect that party members can disappear without warning). It would totally ruin this game for me if Eder was gone, as I am kind of a completionist and want to do his quest still. Need help please. Thanks in advance PS. This is my second attempt writing this. In my first attempt I tried to upload my save game, which went wrong and lost me what I had written. Also my save game seems to be too big to upload (only 507 kb allowed)
