Where'd my companion go?

I left Sogg Mead Mug at the Sour Barnacle in Black Root when I offered to help Dante return to Dernholm. Now I've returned to Black Root, but Sogg isn't there. I'm guessing he just wandered off to another bar in another town, but I just want to be sure.

This is my first time through the game, and I appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me so far.

Thanks.

 

Go back to Shrouded Hills. He might be there. If not, you'll have to reload.

 

If he isn't at the Shrouded hills, reload your game or just wait like 5 days, and then go back to the Shrouded Hills. He definitely should be there after a certain point in time (although a bit angry at you).

 

Nothing you can't fix by buying him a drink.

 

No luck so far. I guess I'll just continue on doing quests and see if anything triggers his return. Otherwise, it's like he's disappeared off the face of the planet.

 

Followers have a wait tolerance which ranges from 15 minutes to forever. If they have a limited wait time then they will re-appear wherever you first met them. If you have high charisma / persuasion this can increase the wait time to forever. So don't ask them to wait in the wilderness or they may stand there forever and you'll never see them again.

 

Or, you could remember the exact location
