    Hi, I know I've seen this before, a mod that gives the party npc same/close to same experience as the main char when they join the party, but I couldn't find it.... I'm currently playing pretty modless and I like it that way. Just ascension and some mods to make the game harder, and increase enemy AI. Just want this, couse its such a hassle to go into console to fix every npc's xp, especially imoen after I get her back, she is weak as a gimp unless you monkey with her xp.

    So if someone could direct me to a mod that does that, or has that as one of several components (without having to install the entire thing) that would be great!

    Thanks.

    Honestly I would say it would take less time to highlight all the characters you want to change and just CLUA console the XP in. It takes a total of about 15 seconds and you can do it all at once. It will take you longer to download/instal any mod ever.

    Maybe so, but if I install the mod, its fixed for life, no matter how many games I make on this pc, I still think that will add up to much more time saved in the long run (plus just the feeling of not having to do it at all, that the problem is just not in the game anymore)

    [​IMG] There's no mod I've heard of that does that. Would mean editing the dialogue when they join the party I think but I don't think it would be as satisfactory as you are hoping.

    All that I can see working would be having a check for character level - but it would have to check for pretty much every level - and setting xp the NPC has, risk being the rare occurances that they're a higher level that they lose xp. Would be a lot of conditional statements at the end of each dialogue.

    Which is pretty much why the engine handles it the way it does by setting NPC level comparative to yours when you first interact/find them by creating the appropriate creature in that area (each NPC has several Creature files that represent them at different levels)

    There is a mod that does it, I have it installed, by I am posting from work so I can't look at my weidu right now. Offhand I think it's the Level 1 NPCs mod???? It makes the NPC level 1 but with the same XP as the PC, you just have to level up after having them join???

    Hmm is that really the only mod that does it? I just checked the mod out (not installed it yet) they will have equal xp to main char when they join party with? or are we talking estimates here, so they might be well under or sometimes above.

    It's not exact but it's close.

    I'm playing BG1 in Tutu at the moment and people joining are as little a 10k experience below when joining my level eight sorcerer.
