You know how whenever you buy a companion in the crown shop afterwards it has a little orange lock symbol on the top left corner of it (meaning it is currently locked) so you can't get the same companion twice well after a while of the Doctor Noh companion I went to go to the crown shop; to then notice that Doctor Noh isn't locked, confused and also curious I bought it; but all it did was take away my crowns, does anybody know what's up with that? I honestly didn't know what to expect would happen when I bought it but I guess now I know the answer to that. Oh well I guess they do say curiosity killed the cat. If something like this has ever happened to you before please reply to this topic. I don't necessarily know what I want kingsisle to do about this rather minor issue but I'd at least like to get my money or crowns back.

funny thing is I can do that with Trick Vinny but idk if I can still get him even though I have him already.

Currently there are 4 companions that do this:
Bagha Khan
Tricky Vinny
the Yakooza Thug
Doctor Noh
There could be others but, being a Privateer, I can't see the Privateer restricted companions in the crown shop

I know that glitch. The same thing happens with Bagha Khan and Tricky Vinny in addition to Doctor Noh. The best thing you can do is e-mail Kingsisle support and ask to have your Crowns refunded. Good luck!
