No Party "Accompany"?

[smothdude]

Was doing a merchant escort quest earlier and discovered there is no way to accompany a party like there was in Warband! Is this deliberately left out of the game or is this something that is going to be added later? Also constant campaign crashes after reaching Autumn seems to be common with nearly everyone! Stutters seem to be caused by RAM utilization (no matter how much RAM you have). I believe in you Taleworlds, I love the game already and can't wait to see it improve more

You have to wait outside of where ever you picked up the quest eventually the caravan leaves and you follow it. I haven't had any crashes in the 3 hours I've played so far.

Well yeah, you just have to click around on the map to follow where it is going but you may be faster than it, and it is a hassle to click around the map to stay near the caravan. In Warband you could accompany a party so you'd follow it and go the same speed

You can just click on the caravan to make your party follow it instead of clicking all over the map.

If you are faster than it you will just enter conversation with them, its even worse that way as you'll have a loading screen!

So click beside it to avoid conversation wait for more distance and click it again lmao....

Being able to accompany was a feature in Warband, a very welcome one too. I was just asking if anyone knows if it was purposely omitted or is going to be added in at a later date

You clearly didnt play previous m&b games. There was a accompany option in the old games maybe there is a bug and they need to remove it for now.

Lets hope they give us back our basic feature.

Some of the "helpful" replies in this thread hurt my head -_-

As the OP said, in previous M&B Games, while on the world map you could right-click on a party, which would give the option to "Accompany". When you accompany a party, you travel alongside with them at the same speed. This prevents the potential clickfest that OP is describing (especially when your travel speed is fast) and makes escorts a breeze.

I assume this is something that was deemed "non-mission-critical" and left out of the initial Early Access and I'm confident it will be added in a future update during EA, if not by release.
