Animal Capture not working?

[LeBurns]

I'm trying to catch one of those crocboars to complete a quest, but I'm not being given the option to capture.

I have 10+ rope, get the animal engaged, knock it's health below half, have someone else run behind it ... but the capture option doesn't appear. Gone through two encounters now and the option just doesn't appear. I've even let the boar attack first, and then try, but still the option doesn't show up.

Has the process to capture animals changed?

I noticed there's a new bar showing up when you can do a special action. It's connected to the one that shows you your passives. Does that bar show up when you try to capture a human opponent or don't you see it then.

If you don't see it, there's a small arrow sign on your action hot bar. You may want to click at to bring the rest up.

Also, if that bar does show up, have you been able to capture anything else?

I'm asking because I haven't captured any animals in my current playthrough yet, but I was able to capture the human prisoners and send them off to jail later.

In this playthrough I did capture a wolf early on. Been a long time since then though.

This is the first time I've tried since the last update, and I can't seem to get the capture option to pop up on the toolbar anywhere. Figured something has changed or I'm missing a step.

Have you been able to capture any hoodlum, poacher or whatever human enemy in your game after the update?
Because that uses the same mechanic.


As for that bar I mentioned, I will post a screenshot in here later to show what I mean.

Yeah I captured a woman needed to complete a quest since then. THOUGH, I did have to let her attack first before it would let me capture her. Don't know if 'No Active Turn' is now a requirement or not, but I've tried the animals both before and after their turn and neither worked.

Just now, in "Bastion Siege", my mercenary ran up to the Skelmarz with 5% health and he got the "captured" icon on the "Conditional Skills" panel. It's possible that such a system is only in the Skelmar DLC. In other regions, I haven't captured anyone for a long time. I made a screenshot, but I don't know how to insert them into messages.

Well I'll keep trying. It's just frustrating that it's a requirement for a quest (to capture a boar to make a pet).

Does the animal need to be the last one standing? Though I think I did that also. Maybe I'm not standing in the exact right spot to be behind them?

Well I'll keep trying. Thanks for the replies.

It might vary based on critter, but five ropes were required to knock out (doesn't say capture, more opportunity for confusion) a bear.
