Summary​

Being able to influence a hostages personality without being guardian

Description​

Not sure if this is WAI, but after receiving a hostage I can use the interaction to try to pass on of my character traits...without having myself made guardian of that hostage. I searched the changelog / DDs for an answer if that is intended, but couldn't find one.

Steps to reproduce​

1. Load my save
2. See that you can try to pass a character trait to the hostage Adelheid von Babenberg without being her guardian

Game Version​

Hello @Herennius!

Thank you for your report. The mechanic you describe is WAD - you should be able to influence your child Hostages without being their Guardian. Also notice that when you open character page for your hostage, their "captor" is named a "Warden" in relation to the Hostage.

Thank you again and have a lovely afternoon. : )
