About Dragon's Plague * MAJOR SPOILER * You've Been Warned!

[Skeletornado]

The "Great Calamity" AKA Dragon's Plague is real and it's a MF.
30+ hours in, went to sleep in Vernworth capital.
A hired pawn went ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and killed EVERYBODY.
Every NPC.
None spared.
Brant? Dead.
Sven? Deader.
like 100+ NPCs.
Completely nuked my game save. It's tedious and expensive AF to resurrect NPCs.
I'm starting over.
If you have a pawn that's cocky and keeps talking ♥♥♥♥ back to you when you give "commands" GET RID OF THEM!
GET RID OF THEM POST HASTE, ARISEN!!!
Wow.
Just....... wow.

Yeah I really don’t understand how this isn’t a bigger issue. Heard of multiple players just getting their entire playthroughs destroyed because they weren’t prepared at all for the dragon plague stuff.

Killing the pawn instantly cures them of Dragon's Plague.

If it's a loaner pawn? Oh well, get another. If it's your main pawn, just summon them back at the first available Rift Stone. If your main pawn starts sounding sassy and backtalkin', just head on over to your nearest bridge or large body of water, pick them up, toss them into the drink and let the Brine sort them out. Infected or not, they'll be 100% cured when they come back.

Tbh the feature is more of an annoyance and doesn't really add anything substantial to the game.

Did your FPS improve?

And cmiiw, we are not supposed to be able to create a new game unless we beat the game right? damn. imagine having this happened on console.

[FauxFurry]

If a Pawn gives you lip, toss 'em into the briny deep. Got it.

[Darwinian]

Same happened to me. How are we suppose to fix this if we can't get to our stash to bring out wakestones?

[Theofratus]

Had a hired pawn start talking about this. So far only had a few lazy ones, but no backtalk. Good warning.

[VR]

Eagerly awaiting the mods to turn off this trash mechanic.

I already decided after playing for like 30 minutes I'd be insta-kicking any pawn that got weird, because they all tell you about that disease repeatedly. How did you just ignore it? Sounds like a user malfunction to me.

Not to mention that it sounds ridiculously overblown and it's posted by yet another private profile...

Because the game gives you no internal indication of who has it, how to get it or anything else beyond a random tutorial pop up. OP would've found out how it works after it happened and he Googled it, because the mechanic itself gets a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ explanation that explains nothing in game.

not gonna lie having a virus like that destroying the whole town is brutal and funny at the same time xD

not really funny when 30+ hours it kills your town npcs and overwrites the save files.

The pawn who has it starts misbehaving, and all the other pawns start remarking about his misbehavior...
