Hold on. Playing the game for the first time after the update (I hadn't been playing for all that long before it either), I fought a random combat against a small group of thugs. After I won fairly easily, for the first time ever one of them was only incapacitated instead of killed, so I was given the option to use a rope to enslave them, which I obviously took.
Except after that, they were gone. Vanished. No sign of them. I can't find any record of them in my household, or inventory, or anywhere. I even went to the slave market to see if I could just sell them off from there, but the "Sell slave" option defaulted to my only slave, my beloved Juno. So what the fuck happened to the thug I captured? If I wasn't missing a rope from my inventory, I'd think that I only imagined enslaving them at all.
