How to fire an adventurer off your roster

[Soth007]

Can anyone tell me how to completly delete an adventurer?

 

It is telling me I can only hire 8. I have hired 8 and want to try a different class.

Don't know about player made companions, but you can make a premade companion leave by talking to them (See their ability bar) and simply tell them to go on their way.

I'm talking about playermade ones though as it seems you can only create 8 max on your roster

Well, you can dismiss Companions and Adventurers from your party with the Party Manager, which you can access with the [P] key in Inns and your Stronghold, I believe.

 

Don't think you can permanently dismiss someone through that interface, though, they'll keep counting towards your max. 8 adventurer limit. But, ah ... murder will. Put 'em in your party, and kill 'em until their Health runs out. (And then again, if you have Maimed status turned on.) You can Force Attack with one of the buttons on the middle interface, or the [A] key.

 

At least in the Backer Beta this'll open the slot again.

So you can only create 8, hard total? So if you have 8 hanging around in your Stronghold (not with you), you still can't create more? That's interesting, if so. Not that I'd expect an ability to create infinite player-made companions or something, but since you can have 5 in your party (them plus you) I might have liked 10 at least (two full "parties" worth).

Ahh, and their only sin was being born... created I suppose. Thanks for the answer, I will have to resort to murder in this case.

Yep, you can only have 8 player made companions on your roster. I am fairly early in the game so I don't know if there is a way to raise it later or not.

No biggie. I'll probably be using mostly the quest-npc's first anyway.

 

...I probably should have paid closer attention the past couple years to knowing/remembering all the details like this as they developed, but I like going into games mostly "blind".

If you have 8 player made can you still get all the in-game NPC companions as well?

 

is the 8 limit only for custom made/hired ones?

 

Thanks!

Yes, you can still get all the in game companions even if you make your max number of adventurers ( 8 )

There is a hard limit of 8 adventurers you can create. Once you create 8, you can't create anymore regardless if they all die.

[Ark Evensong]

This again?

No. Murdering one of your Adventurers opens that slot up.

I'm not sure why I bothered to test it, again - developer stated intentions or not, this is how it works.
