Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General Making an NPC follow the party?

Yes, it seems like I need to put my hope in Larian adding that much needed function in GM mode.

I am also following that thread you linked, and I have been in contact with the creator.
Unfortunately he has more or less given up on that mod as it collides with the status effects mods out there that most of us GMs use.
