7.0 - Ransomed Girl becomes hostile.

[Momotaca]

I got the pay the ransom mission and went to the bandits. This was the first time in 7.0 that I thought my party was strong enough and refused to pay them. We fought and I was wrong. I went to town to get more fighters and was beat back a second and third time. I rested and won the battle the fourth time but couldn't join the girl because I had no empty slots. I emptied one of my slots and went to get the girl. Instead of her joining, I got the fight options screen. I tried several times, but the fight screen kept coming up.

Fight and capture her because she wont come willingly and don't worry because you can't kill her, just knock her down. Take her as prisoner and you can finish the quest anyway. It seems to be a new feature more than a bug.

 

[Handel]

Yep, the kidnapping is a fake; the girl jusr run away with her lover and they decided to extort some money from her father

 

[Visigoth]

Yes, I had this problem... after a battle had ended with some Mountain Bandits, my crossbowmen started firing at her.... poor thing.

If you pay the ransom she will join your party.

If you pay the ransom she will join your party.

I suggest Severi look up "non sequituitur" in the dictionary. You provide an answer without reading the problem. Of course you are correct. However what I was discussing was what happens when you don't pay the ransom. In .632, if you didn't pay the ransom you got to rescue the girl and keep the gold. The girl running away was an entirely new situation that did not occur until .70.

I don't know if the fake kidnapping (Handel) is serious or meant as humor. I'll have to try again later to see.

It's true. Happened to me too. It seems not all girls are really kidnapped anymore.
