Feature request: "Stay put" for quest dudes.

[Dogun]

I've lost more escort quests than I care to have, due to the fact that the map didn't provide me with a nice choke-point at which to block a lost artificer or anorthil. It's more okay when they are made of sturdy stuff, but the pincussion escorts are basically fearless and it would be really helpful to be able to tell them "Hey. Stay put or you're gonna get your ass handed to you by Bill the Troll. I'll protect you, but let me clear the way first."

You can right click on them to give them orders one of which is wait here. I haven't used it much so I'm not sure if it will prevent them from attacking a visible bad guy.

Anyway since this isn't a bug it probably should have been posted in the ideas forum.

Withdrawn. I was not aware of the party ordering stuff. This helps a great deal.

Edit: Even so, this is kind of crap for classes without the ability to deal lots of damage or make that crappy escort stay put by force.

It doesn't last for long, however.

You're not supposed to be able to save all of them. The design goal is that some of them should die.

The best way to control them is to block their path. Not always possible or easy, but the rewards are good for a reason.
