Unlocked companion skills and weapon trees.

Unlock the companion's skill tree.

This mod essentially allows players to extend their companions in ways they couldn't before. I want Merrill to accompany me, but I need at least one person with a healing spell.

Now you can give her the spells she needs. What if you want Fenris to accompany her, but you need a tank? Or Isabella with her bow. Maud essentially frees up all possibilities without forcing the companion to play the role of a weapon that BioWare originally intended.

That means you can get Isabella to use the bow and Fenris to use the gun and shield.

We haven't done comprehensive testing yet, but it shouldn't break anything in your game. If you encounter any mistakes, please let me know.

Important: To enable this mode, you must start a new game or load a save before your companion joins the group. Sorry, the mod won't work if your companion has already joined the group (skip the bottom if you don't want to restart the game).

Important note for those who do not want to start a new game.

The Dev Console console allows you to manually add skill trees to your companions without having to restart the game. Complete these steps:

1 - Navigate to /installDirectory/Dragon Age 2/bin_ship/ and create a shortcut to DragonAge2.exe.

2 - Right-click on the DragonAge2.exe shortcut and select Properties.

3 - Add '-enabledeveloperconsole' to the Target: field and click OK.

4 - Navigate to /user/BioWare/Dragon Age 2/Settings/KeyBindings.ini.

5 - Locate OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_Grave, change Grave to an unused button, for example ~ (Tilda), and save it.

6 - Load the game, press the assigned buttons and try to use the movement keys. If the character doesn't move, then the console is working properly.

To add a specific skill tree to the selected companion, first select the companion and click the assigned button to open the console. Then type: runcript AddTalent <talentid></talentid>.

Skill IDs are as follows (make sure you add them in order (first through second)):

+ Bethany Primal.

- 302000 -> 302001

+ Anders Entropy.

- 305000 -> 305001

+ Merrill Creation.

- 306000 -> 306001

+ Avelyn Two Fifty

- 102000 -> 102001

+ Fenris and Carver Sword and Shield

- 101000 -> 101001

+ Isabella: archery

- 202000 -> 202001

+ Brew: double barrel

- 201000 -> 201001
