Summary0007193: Endless hostages at evil fort
DescriptionIt all started when I went around town asking people about things I could help them with, they informed me that two people were kidnapped and both taken by the same group. So after asking around for directions and writing down the names I set off to go on a rescue mission, I manage to find the evil fort, sneak in past an Ogre and a few patroling trolls. Down to the basement part of the fort, upon entering I encounter a few goblins and tunnels and lots of locked doors, I kill two goblins I see after I sneak up behind one and body slam him a few times and then ask him to yield. After he yields I ask about the location of one of the kidnap victims, he tells me hes somewhere in here, so I slit his throat and proceed to kick down all the locked doors.. To my disbleief, nearly all the doors held a prisoner and when I rescued them they were all children. Nameless children, named 'child' I was never able to learn their actual names. I am pretty sure there were around 30-50 of them - I exited and left it alone.
Steps To ReproduceI have the save file in which if I knew how to uphold I would. But basiclly, ask around about people who were kidnapped, go to the place, look for prisoners and rescue them, they all become children.
Additional InformationOnly replicated this once

I might be missing something, but it's expected that goblins kidnap lots of children. That's what they do. What part is weird?

I am aware of that - however are they all supposed to be clones of eachother with only name "child" even when you talk to them?

I think this might be purposed, as they lose their former identity and become members of the goblin civ, or I am wrong?

Not to mention, or maybe I didn't look hard enough through the herd of children, I couldn't find the actual kidnap victims who I assumed were adults around anywhere. This is where I assumed it became a bug, what if ALL the prisoners anywhere become children - how can you complete kidnap objectives and other similiar things if the prisoners have no names and are all just simple childs?

Goblins kidnap children so they can raise them in their own ways, they don't kidnap adults afaik.

Only if they then grow up on the goblin fort they become "Prisoner".
