I can't get over how absolutely abysmal this game is to play.

So my party is automatically disbanded as soon as I enter the keep. I go to leave and I am told I have to make a party.

Nothing in the tool tip telling me how. Nothing in the Barracks to make a party. Nothing in formation.

WHY.

If a party is mandatory, why not make the selection of a party automatic when exiting.

Everything about this game is just disappointing.

As I recall (trying to remember the location), you can add up to 3 Followers between the forge and alchemist bottles just outside your (Keep? - where your bed is). Also inside the building where the party is disbanded, up near the large map (just to the left and near the stairs) you can do the same.

I hope I remembered the exact location.
