Cant Untie Traders in Bandit Attacks

[Eddie]

As the title says. When a bandit attack intervention random enounter happens during fast travel, you cannot untirle and free the captured traders/villagers. Even after you kill thr bandits or cumans they just sit there on the road forever, they dont move or talk. All yiu can do is pickpocket them

Yep i got the same damn thing. But I saw in a youtube video a guy able to speak with the tied up trader and release him. I hope it doesnt mess up the game later on just leaving the trader there.

They won't get up unless every single bandit that spawned for the attack is dead. If a single one ran away, they will stay tied up.

They will completely disappear from the game when you get far enough away, if you untie them or not. So...it only matters if you feel for NPC's wellbeing on a personal level.

Usually if you stand there the surviving attackers will wander back and you can kill them. Or they will die from their wounds somewhere. In that case the untie prompt will just suddenly appear.
