Free Captives.

[Droz1937]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it is because of a choice I made. Almost every camp I go to that I have to free captives already has them set free. I wonder if this has to do with the choice I made not making the oil and letting that slave go free...

Anyone else experience this? Sometimes it is nice to have the captives running around allowing me to creep around undetected...

nah, i didnt set the slave free and its working fine, might be u hit a bug, try to fast travel to another location then revisit the bugged one, sometimes it triggers the completion of it.

Same here as @Abook - have to say though, that whenever I come across a mission like this, I free the captives, but if it's soldiers, I then assasinate them after they are freed, lol.

you can also kill them before they get freed and they will register as well :D

once i got a prisoner who didnt want to go out and i was like :S, so i killed the bastard and suddenly the location got marked as completed :)

It's a harmless bug. Restarting your game should fix it.

It has restored itself it seems the latest time I played the game. Sometimes it was nice b/c I wanted to quickly get through the base...but most of the time I think it is hilarious to watch the base go nuts for guys randomly running around.

I wish they would pick up a sword and defend themselves...

Didn't know killing them would work too.

I got one of those radiant quests to kill a civilian. I thought I'd go talk to him and see what he said. After that he takes off running, and I thought "Am I finally going to get a proper parkour chase like old AC?" But no, he ran about 200 yards to grab a hand axe from a building site to fight me with. Pretty gutsy actually. I tried just knocking him out but that wasn't enough for the quest :(

I was planning on releasing my Tamed Alpha Bear in the middles of a city crowd with no guards present...to just watch from on high. Unfortunately the bear decided to run off a cliff after me instead of the normal teleport. So, it is still on my to-do list.

I had a camp where all captives counted as free on my first arrival. They were just standing outside of cages and not running anywhere. I guess they had no reason to, since they were already free.

That gave me an idea. I got another civilian assassination mission (trying to get the Island Hopper achievement). But he was in the middle of the marketplace. So I went out of town a little way, tamed a wolf, let the wolf go right next to him, the wolf killed the civilian, I retamed the wolf, no bounty.
