play as a camp follower/courtier

When?

[Belgian Problem]

Probably never. Sounds tedious and kinda pointless.

Adventurer's are fun because there's not only a goal, but a realistic and relatively enjoyable way to achieve it. It's also reasonably enjoyable to remain an adventurer for longer than you really need to.

What are you gonna be doing as a camp follower or courtier? Pretty much nothing. Maybe a scheme here and there, but beyond that there's no path up the social hierarchy and honestly is just sounds boring.

From a development POV as well, it makes no sense. We still need a lot of stuff that's missing from CK2, such as societies, cardinals, republics and so forth, not even mentioning the regional flavour missing from a lot of places.

So yeah, I can guarantee it's not gonna happen.

Like in the ROTK series in which you can play as a officer who is not in a leadership position?

Only thing I can imagine for adventurer camp followers being playable is petty social interaction with other followers (like they don't excel in murder attempts already on each other enough), and the steps you take as part of a scheme of your boss in a mission, thus contributing more or less to success, and gaining/losing skills over it. However that would be so much, it would blow up the game data beyond measure.
I'd rather like to add other things, like not destroying the camp after you landed, and using it for a relative/trustee you appoint to new adventurer traveling on and giving some rewards to you while they are continuing.
And you could equip your followers with useful artifacts for their work *AND* take them away again as you see fit.
