then please let them have at least ONE skillbook of each skills, instead of having only a several skill types, but then multiple copies of those darn books. I'm sure you did not intend to pad out the game time by making anyone and everyone save&load!?
I don't agree it solves nothing because it penalize party with two characters using same abilities.
- So please give us a way to customize (at least to certain extent) the non-guardian companions.
I'd say the solution is this mod:
http://www.nexusmods.com/divinityoriginalsin/mods/21/?It allows create 4 characters at creation, but yeah it should be endorsed by the game itself, quite like the Baldur's Gate feature allowing start a game and use the multi player to create more than one character so eventually a full party and play it in single player.
That mods is already great but the characters 3 and 4 should be tagged as standard Henchmen, and the mod allows create 2 character then right after two other. But the best would be to allow create the 4 at same time.
