- Apparently the player will be able to respec at will. But not just that, he will be able in any given moment to change everything about his character, including the stats and starting class. - Apparently, the same will apply to companions too. They'll be tagged as "that companion" by the game, but you'll be able to change appearance, starting abilities and skills distribution AND STARTING CLASS, too.
I am frustrated also. The companion respec makes 0 sense to me. What the point of having hireling then? Respec apparently is 100 gold. I wouldn't mind seeing jacked up to 2500 in tactician as well.
I can hear from here the "well you don't have to use it if you don't like it".
