I have various followers that can only be recruited if the player does certain things.

This where the problem lies, I don't want to force feed the player information on how to get the followers, but I also don't want them to completely miss them due to having no idea of their existence.

Near the start of the game you can temporarily recruit a wolf to protect you through the forest, once you leave he tells you that he's done his job and leaves the party. However if you finish the next quest and go back to where you came out of the forest from, he's stood there waiting and you can get him back.

What do I do?

Do I force the player to say "HURR DURR. MAYBE IF WE GO BACK WE CAN RECRUIT HIM!!?!?!?!" thus giving any thought process away from the player, or do I just leave it and hope the player decides to go back there at some point, for whatever reason?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
