I read somewhere that after you finish the thirsk hall quest and become the chief you can recruit a riekling as a pet, how do I do this?!?!? I am now their chief but can't open up a dialogue option with any so now what?

I was able to recruit the ones outside shortly after becoming Leader. I do think something is buggy as I dismissed the one I took back to Skyrim with me and now the dialouge options won't come backup.

Its really wierd. Good luck!

I just talk to one of them that had a helmet on and said follow me tribe-kin

it won't let me interact with any of them. Why bethesda, glitch up the best part about this dlc? (unless im a super oblivious idiot who doesn't see the riekling in front of me waving and saying "take me with you!")

Are you trying to do this immediatly after killing the chief? Maybe leave and come back. Also if you are off fighting in the open three reiklings will often randomly appear and help you out. Once the fighting is done you have the dialoge option with each one to ask them to follow you.

Yea, 3 rieklings often help me out, cant open dialogue with any though.
