Reclaiming NPCs after character's death
Hi everyone !

So, my character died and when I was back to my old safehouse, the NPCs of my previous group drove me out of the property. I said to myself "Whatever, I'll make them my friends and we will go adventuring again !". Big mistake, they are already in a group and so they refuse to join mine. Do you know how to fix that ?

I don't think there is a workaround for this. I am rewriting the join logic for the next patch, so I hope it will be fixed then.

Thank you for your answer and for your amazing work. I am looking forward to it !
strange enough, this happened to me, but when i quit the game and came back, it put me back in the group. i think a possible reason is I had the same name?

The way to make the NPCs your friends on a different character is the following:

1. Select Load game
2. Make a New character there
3. NPCs will be your friends

If you make your new character after dying it wont work, you have to make the character on the Load screen, hope this helps!
After death i create new character, spawning home and press F2 before my guys kill me then reboot game, this return me back to my group

Select a new place to hide.

After a reboot or after some time has passed, return to the previous\location.

If you haven't made it your own yet, go to the entrance and interact with it.

After that, the previous location will become your shelter again and will appear in the list of available places.



I hope this helps!
