I load this after everything and I notice half the pre-built classes in the character creator are blank, no attributes, talents or skills

Well, no idea why but; It doesn't works for me anymore.

Loved it thanks!

I want to change companions race to undead.

I love this mod and I love you for making it.

yeah it works now. why hasn't steam fixed this

Check your Steam Workshop folder for the .pak file. Occasionally, Steam doesn't correctly move mods it's downloaded into the DOS2 mods folder, causing that issue.

uhh..It doesn't show up in the mod menu..It is definitive version too

"You're already tired of sneaking over that ladder just to enter Camp Poverty before Female Hitler forcibly breathes experience points down your throat and subsequently transfigures all of your companions-to-be into even worse characters."

ROFL

Just wanted to rate you up for that wonderful thumbnail.

It should work fine with Divine War.

So I guess this wouldn't work with Divine War?

If you don't like the fact that you'll gain all four starter level skills corresponding to the abilities you put points into (just like I do because I don't want skills in my skillbook, I don't gonna use), just recrute your companion(s) and turn off the mod before you'll set them points.

I know, you won't get any skills "for free" this way and you'll have to buy those you really want. But in my opinion that is even better than having many skills you don't gonna use anyways.

does this work with Attribute Insanity 3.0?

This will not work with Odin's Overhauls I am guessing?

I see, thank you for the quick responce! :)

No, it wouldn't, unfortunately. That mod says it's incompatible with mods that modify the base classes, and this one does so.

could this work in conjuction with auspicious start?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Sadly, it does not. It would be nice to devise a mod that could do that somehow, but I don't think it's possible without somehow creating tedious compatibilities with every mod possible.

Does this allow the player to tell a party member to choose a new class created from a mod?
Just wondering if there is a mod where i can recruit say the lizard prince but tell him to be a vampire class or X class mod?

yea, this doesn't work with the starter talents. I just want to take the point out of Loremaster and Telekenisis for Sibelle and Fane. So annoying

I don't think the mod works? I've recruited my companions, and it doesn't seem that their skills was refunded. Might check later for incompabilities with other mods (since i've pretty much subbed to most DE mods)

Anyway, I decided to give this mod a shot so I can at least attempt a 4-Summoner party. I'll have to make the other three people Origins, but it's something.

I made a save in the Hold without the mod installed, and then added it, and I didn't lose my skills, so it worked for me.

Yeah, I noticed that bug myself in the character creation of the unmodded game. I took a Ranger and tried to make them a Lone Wolf, with Polymorph instead of Pyro, but I couldn't assign a third skill. I eventually did get to work by repeated fiddling, but it was strange.

This mod is proving very difficult to fix. Something's changed in character creation that results in characters being unable to select skills if their class preset was modified. I'm really not sure what's going on at all, looking into it. Don't expect a solution today.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yeah it works great for my companions but when I create my char it doesn't let me add any skills. It will list them at top but it won't allow me to drag or double-click them to add. The only skills I end up with on the ship are the innate ones, the rest are blank.

Don't worry, I'm completely familiar with the bug plague with modding this game <3

It may not even be something you've done. Could be a confliction with the recent hotfix or the game's code doing weird stuff as it normally does.

Either way, it seems to be working totally fine outside of the creator!

RIP Kalavinka's free time

Murdered by bugs

May it find peace in the next world

I'll take a look when I get home, though I can't begin to fathom a possible cause.

Clicking and dragging has the same problem as just clicking the skills. They make a sound but it doesn't add to the list and still zero starting skills.

Have you tried clicking and dragging them in?

Doesn't work over here either and came to just report it. When you access the Skill menu on character creation, the slots are empty. You can click on a skill, and it makes a sound, but it doesn't add it to the list of skills. When the game starts regardless of what you clicked, you won't know any skills at all.

I'm aware of it wiping preset skills, but in my experience, it let you add them fine in preset tab.

I'll test more when I get home.

Big bug on my tries to use this before starting a game. This actually wipes the presets skills and prevents you from selecting any skills, as well it doesn't give you the skills upon starting in the starting ship, so you are forced to start with zero abilities if you try to start from the character creator.
Adding the mod after character creation has been done seems to remedy this problem.

Wonderful, I was actually waiting for this mod to start a DE playthrough

That's what my mods are for - extra playthrough support. Fort Joy is easily the biggest obstacle, unfortunately. I'll be looking into Joyless Beginnings but I'd ideally prefer to make a mod that makes Fort Joy fun again.

Ah I've been waiting for this. Nice. While not really relevant to me now I'm sure it will be when I inevitably start another playthrough, thanks.

Thank you for this mod; I always find picking the starter classes to be pain, especially the civil skills

Not at all. Your game will be fine if you turn this mod off after recruitment.

Does turning this off after or during act 1 mess with anything?
