Title: Affiliation to a family
Post by: Envelopes66 on September 29, 2017, 11:52:50 AM
Hi guys,

I affiliated myself to Maege Mormont.

However when I click on my character it does not say I am her son or have any of the mormonts as my sisters.

I'm sure it's supposed to?/used to.

Thanks.

Hey, i'm pretty sure that being "affiliated" doesn't mean you get adopted. Maybe ask one of Maege's daughters about relatives and see if you appear in that list.

I believe it's just another way to have a vassal join you if your lord doesn't give you a castle and you "leave, keeping all of your fiefs"

It also makes it easier for certain marriage prospects to spawn, I'm pretty sure you never see Sansa or Arya without affiliating with Robb first.

You still see them at feasts held at winterfell.

Maybe it was a bug, but in 1.3 as soon as I asked Robb to affiliate, I saw the names of his mother and sisters as NPCs at Winterfell. Then I made a mistake because I didn't select a banner when I became a lord I had to ask Robb to release me from my oath, so I could rejoin, but this made the ladies disappear. So unless it was something not meant to work in that way in the mod, that Produno removed, it's still hands down the easiest way to make contact with these highly sought marriage prospects.
