did i just lose my character?

[Malonze]

i set a campfire down to respawn to. i died and thought i clicked the fire. i ended up clicking the vagabond follower. i control her now so i tried to switch back to my character and they are gone. and the spot i died i still see my stuff but my character is still missing

hopefully this was not intended because i would have hated to lose my original character over such a stupid mistake

its a "bug" and that happens in demo's and early access games, so if you hate that i would not even buy this game in early access, because bugs are going to be common, and resets may also be happening.
people really need to understand that early access games "or demo's" are not a final game.

You didn't lose him/her. Just get a throw away thrall, inhabit him/her and go get them killed and respawn in a non thrall location. I about lost my mind when I "lost" mine. But this fixed it.

I am far to familiar with early access and betas

What I "hate" is if this was an intended outcome.

You being a D_ to a simple question is unwarranted

However the 2nd commenter explained how to fix this. So it's all fine.

Ah nice. If it happens in the beta, I'll remember that.

Thanks, Dragon, and sorry you had to go through that.

This is not a Bug, if you spawn into a Tribesman when you die in your original character, OG char can only be respawn by killing the current tribesman you're in, preferably one you've caught specificly to sacrifice so you can spawn at fire, giving your own body back.

So in short, if you for any reason want to have your OG char in the world, if you die in it, spawn at a fire, not in a tribesman.

Or do like I had been doing where you keep a throw-away tribesman on hand. This way if you were to die AND had a tribesman deployed with you at the time, you can spawn into that tribesman that is right there where you died and recover your items. Then go back to base and switch control to your throw-away and hit ESC to see the [Respawn] option on the bottom right of the screen.

This will then kill the tribesman currently in control and put you back in your main character.

So I found out a way to not have to sacrifice ANY tribesman after accidentally inhabiting one when you revive: hold "e" on the campfire and "remodel initial character." When I did this, a "naked" version of my character spawned in front of me and I just took back control over him.

This is an old thread from before you could do that.
