Pack succession...I hit the wrong button, how do I continue with the same pack?

[Zabuka94112]

My elder wolf just died, and I meant to click to continue as another adult wolf in my pack, but since most of the buttons at the ends of quests to continue the game are on the right side, I clicked that after I got distracted, but that sent me back to the main menu.

What do I do to get to the Continue option to let me play as part of this pack's continuation instead of starting a new game?

I did this same mistake and you just... can't. like at all. You have officially screwed yourself over on pack succession!!

you can play as your surviving pups however to continue the legacy but not the pack itself.

Well crap. Time to submit feedback then lol. I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

At the very least there should be a confirmation prompt of some sort. XD

Someone should send in-game Feedback about this. It's a good idea, and I doubt it would be hard for the devs to add.
(I would, but I'm not sure when the next time is that I'll be in-game).

I had the same issue, but my game crashed. Unless you have older saves I think your save has been deleted unfortunately. You're the fourth person I've seen lose their whole lineage to this :((

I did submit in-game feedback suggesting they make it match the "your pup is dispersing, wanna keep playing as your original wolf, or switch to them?" pop up, where it lets you do one or the other, and lets you make an extra save for that dispersal. Which in this case would be making a save to continue the pack's story.

I also suggested they switch the placement of the buttons, to make them better match up with the buttons at the ends of other quests, and to add a warning if they don't want to make this match the dispersal thing. But I'm sure they'll update it to make it consistant, since this was probably just an oversight lol

Edit to add, I definitely recommend others send feedback as well so they notice faster so it happens to less people

imo, i feel like they should have a popup saying "are you sure you want to do this?" before confirming the option with a warning or update the text below "FINISHED"

I've seen so many people over the years skip through all sorts of these confirmation pop-ups in the game that I can kind of imagine it would not really solve this problem (it is a solution that is dependent on the person paying attention to read it, and may then result in a misclick).

I personally feel a possibly better choice would be that the game makes a backup save when your wolf dies - like one in reminisce mode, and then when you load it you pick in pack stats or quest panel when to move on and pass the baton to the wolf you want to take over.

[Zabuka94112]

yep, that's part of what I put in my suggestion in-game, it should definitely not be a one-and-done thing.

[Zabuka94112]

Well as a conciliatory update for anyone curious, the one dispersal pup has now taken over her parent's territory, since the rest of the pack has "moved somewhere else" in the known wolves tab, leaving their territory free for me to reclaim. So at least I get to continue the story in this way.

I partly had this problem, but my whole thing just completely glitched out, once I got back on, I had 3 saves of the wolves death for some reason.

In the new public beta patch they added a “Are you sure?” pop up!!

Do I have to play through Steam to do the public Beta?
