Talking to Party NPC's in town

[Slyloki]

Being able to talk to the NPC's you can recruit in towns would make it so much easier to check their equipment and upgrade it if needed...

Add to this a few more options they could actually become more useful...

Like Park Borcha at a tavern with the order of recruiting 30 (x) Vaegir Footmen..
Of course, this would double his upkeep cost due to the amount of beer consumed while waiting..

That's a good idea. You would of course have to train their leadership to make them usefull for that but that would be a very small price to pay.

I like this idea too, both being able to talk to your NPCs and also being able to tell them to hang around and do some recruiting. It would certainly be a more efficient use for them than having them take up a whole troop slot just for themselves.

I wasn't thinking along the lines of Hero NPC's having troops of their own while traveling with you and not taking up a slot, more so that you could come back to the tavern every so often and take the new recruits off his hands... Having to search all the taverns of the land to get 20 footmen can be a pain in the butt...

It should be possible and I'd always thought it would be. It makes a lot of sense. I suppose it's because I thought eventually it would be in the game that I never really considered it.
