How on earth to tell a Fighter thrall to follow/fight with me?
He defaults to guarding and there's nothing in the game or info on the web to "emote" him to serve me. ???

Thx. There is absolutely zero hint or info anywhere that HOLDING E opens up anything. Extremely poor UX.

Play around with the settings. Some modes they won't attack unless they have to defend.

I have about 50-60 thralls who knows at this point... And I set them up one by one and test them to see how they act. when they act right I move em and keep getting more thralls.

It's interesting what you can set them up to do with distance and attack modes.

Weird, whenever I look at an object I see the prompt over it of "Hold [E] for more options". With objects this lets you pick them back up, destroy them to salvage materials, activate decorative torches and the like, etc. For Thralls you can tweak their behaviors, set them as followers or guards, check an extra status screen, etc.

Have a screenshot? It's not shown on my screen. Thralls are not objects. I'm not looking to pick up or dismantle a thrall. R is the emote key. It even has a follow emote.

We can't argue about it being poor UX because there are so many instances of it in the game. That part is settled.

Question is answered, answer marked. Thanks again.
