armored troll question : V

» Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:36 pm

I got to the point where you can buy an armored troll from Gunmar, but he won't let me buy it. He told me I already have a creature following me, which is pretty creepy considering I didn't think I did. I dismissed my only follower before talking to him, so I don't know what he's talking about. I don't own a horse either.

Do you have a dog follower? (Im guessing trolls might be considered "pets" in the code).

Is it possible either of you ran into a stray dog earlier in the game? Also your follower is separate, you can have a follower and an armoured troll. For some reason mine's still glitched into thinking I have a pet too, although the stray dog disappeared a while back.

Yeah I ran across a stray awhile back; helped it kill a couple of wolves. I went up to it and it barked at me but it never did follow me, it stayed there along the road as I walked off, and I haven't seen it since.

I'm convinced that's the problem. How we fix it on a console is beyond me, though.

Find the dog and slay it.

I do remember the area I found him in, ironically it was right before i found Gunmar. I'm going to try and hunt it down.

I know where Meeko lives, it isn't him. This was just some random stray I found not too far from Helgen.

This happened to be me before when i wanted a Dark brotherhood initiate to follow me. She kept telling me i had someone following me but i swear i thought i didnt because i didnt have a follower with me for 2 days of game time played. I literally had to retrace my steps back from 2 days worth of play time and only to find out my follower was stuck in a dungeon. I play on a console too, so your follower Gunmar is talking about is missing or stuck somewhere. Just try to think back who or what it might have been and tell it to part ways when you see him/her.

Ok so I found out apparently Shadowmere didn't die a while back and now he just stays at castle volkihar and I can't get him to fast travel with me anywhere.

So how do i get rid of him so I can have an armored troll instead?

Shadowmere's a mount, he doesn't count as a follower at all. Try mounting him before you fast travel, though.

Has anyone actually gotten to use one of the trolls yet? I'm fairly excited about these and am coming up on them.

Yea they are quite cool.

I find them to not be of much use in combat, as I tank by myself, but outside of combat they are fun to have run around with you everywhere, and they grunt a lot.

Well I found a way around this, for anyone interested. I traveled to Meeko's shack, and found him resting inside. I asked him to follow me, and he came along. Then I travelled to Fort Dawnguard and told meeko to go home. Then Gunmar let me buy one of his trolls. :biggrin:

want an armored dog and troll idk if it will let it

» Sun Nov 18, 2012 7:27 pm

you probubly told your follower/dog to wait. wether you fast travel or not they will not stop waiting until you tell them to follow you. but they will leave if you leave them waiting for a long time though. also ya i will be an initiate when i post this comment.

I have. They're loud, slow, and aren't quite as combat proficient as I'd like. But oh well, I hear some people say they love 'em.

I have, but i soon left it. It has some pathing problems (nothing that cant be overlooked) but the reason i left it was that i like going solo werewolf slaughter mode and the troll kinda didnt fit into my image.

» Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:57 pm

The troll was cool but they are pretty weak and get in the way so I let mine wander back to the wilds.

that is barnabas and he is part of the deadric quest for clavious vile espically if he stayed in the road.

they are cool looking if I was going with a pet that would be my choice.
