Cheers Warwolf, i'm finally gonna fix my companions

WHAT???? Does this (the italic & underlined section) mean you loose all the NPC conversations? Could you be more specific? Let's say I only change the NPC's attributes, I know that disables achievements but, would that disable other stuff? Thanks This is what Doxy posted in another thread: 20. Respec your party members (This console commands requires the IE Mod to be installed.) This console command allows you to respec yourself or your party members (drops them to level 0 and allows you to relevel them up), or you can do the same thing, but also change their class. Changing the class is optional. The console command is: ChangeClass <name> <Class> As always, you must find the ingame name of your characters using the "FindCharacter name". So let's say you want to respec your companion called "BB Wizard". Type in "FindCharacter Wizard". You'll get something like Companion_BB_Wizard(Clone)_4 in the console. This is the name you should use. Now do ChangeClass Companion_BB_Wizard(Clone)_4 Wizard - your companion will fall down to level 0 and you'll be able to level him up differently from how he was. Or type ChangeClass Companion_BB_Wizard(Clone)_4 Fighter - and he'll turn into a level 0 fighter instead. Warning: do not attempt to transition/quit/save game while your character is level 0. You need to level him up first. Also of note that this console command removes all abilities from a character, including their racial bonus. It will be back though - just level him up, save the game and reload, the racial bonus will reappear. Another thing to consider is if you get some kind of special ability during the game that isn't accessible during leveling up, you will most likely lose it if you attempt to respec yourself. Exercise caution with this console command, consider it experimental. It works but where it says that you have to reload the game for racial to appear again, well that doesn't work. I tried reloading, transitioning to another area, i tried everything, still didn't get them back. Btw does anyone know console command to add and retract companion attributes ?

This could all be solved if devs would implement a "Total" respec button, meaning both attributes and abilities/talents. This would of course be optional, if people like myself want to min/max characters, we can, if there are people who don't want that, well don't press the button. Now there are console commands to change abilities/talents, but they are really wonky, you lose racial bonuses and any unique story related skill

Hey Doxy i just noticed a thing about this part "Also of note that this console command removes all abilities from a character, including their racial bonus. It will be back though - just level him up, save the game and reload, the racial bonus will reappear." For me, racial bonuses don't appear, i tried reloading several times, i tried transitioning into a different area, still racial don't come back. Any thoughts about it, did i do something wrong ?

So i just tested this. I was already using this mod but i didn't enable save before transition, now that i did, IT WORKED. I can finally go outside. I suggest everyone use this until they patch the game! Thanks Liil

I'm also stuck. I can transition if it's "inside" meaning i can go to the dungeon, keep, kitchen and so on, but if i try to go outside like the courtyard or ramparts it freezes. Guess i'll have to wait until they patch the game. Biggest problem is finding something else to do, now that i'm hyped about this game

I use IE mod without any problems or breaking any saves. About the other question, you can reset them to lvl 0 but you can only respec their talents and abilities, no stats which is kinda sad. Stats are the bigger problem then talents and abilities

Is there a command to reset companion stats? In my opinion that's a bigger problem then their starting skill choice

Most would be pretty simple to fix I think, like for Aloth just drop some points from per to might or int, for Durance move all that resolve to int, spread Sagani's perception and con between might and dex. They don't need to be min/maxed but currently most companions have stats which do nothing for their role. I'm more interested in talents/abilities for the companions. It's not that i'm lazy to try everything myself, but people who played beta probably know what's viable for companions without using any mods that change stats. For example should i get Aloth the Eldritch aim and Slicken like Odd Hermit suggested or should i go for something else.

So instead of arguing with one another about who is right or wrong, or if min/maxing is good or bad, lets actually try and make the companions viable in a fight, like what would be your choice for abilities/talents ?
