Thanks for reply I was coming back here to update, mostly because when I was searching for an answer all the related posts were 8-10 years old and for the PC. I truly wish I could go back to PC gaming but hasn't been in the budget since Icewind Dale ugh lol So, to all my console compatriots; I went back to the main screen, closed out the game, shut down the console, turned everything back on and went back into the game and held my breath..... Everyone was back Thanks!!!

I know I'm late to the party but I just lost my job so I have all the time in the world to play games that I just never got to. I'm 118 hours in and I just finished White March part one and the game said, "Go rest" so I went back to Caed Nua. I was going to divvy out my collected spoils to my party members that were left behind because there were new NPC's with new quests to take with me. I went to the party management screen and FOUR of my OG team was GONE! Sagani, 2 that I created and the worst of all.... Eder!! I've seen this issue on message boards but the posts are from 10 years years ago and they were PC gamers, I'm in Xbox X. Please please PLEASE tell me that there's some easy way to fix this and prevent it from happening again. I'm REALLY annoyed that this is still an issue. However, I just want to save my game. Please help
