Dear modding community,

I was wondering if it was possible to replace switch Carver and Bethany so that when I play a mage, Bethany doesn't die.

It would be even better if Bethany could be a warrior, but either is fine.

Please let me know if this will be possible.

Sincerely,
Daikon

I was gonna ask for the same thing! but for me, it is okay that Bethany stays a mage. But I want Bethany to live, she is way more fun then Carver :o

I found a way around this. You can play a warrior until carver dies and then change classes to mage...with help of uh....developer commands.

Assuming you know how to enable the dev console, the command to turn yourself into a lvl 2 mage is "runscript chargen mage"

The PROBLEM with this is that the dialogues are still of Carver's....it makes for very akward gameplay

then I would rather have a good mod that fixes this :$

Yes, a mod that could do this would be great.

How to switch siblings (I'll be doing Mage with Bethany):

1. get the no requirements on equipment mod, you need this to equip staffs: http://www.dragonage...ile.php?id=2213

2. activate the console: http://dragonage.wik...(Dragon_Age_II)

3. Start a game as a mage.

4. After the prologue and creating your character, open the console, type "runscript addtalent 200000" and hit enter. This will add the rogue class to your character.

5. Open the console again and type "runscript removetalent 300000". You need to do this to avoid the invisible sibling glitch.

6. Congrats, Bethany will now be the one to survive, and you'll be able to watch the scenes without any issues.

note: after the one year jump, you'll have to manually remove the rogue specializations and add the mage ones. Use the talent runscripts and the specialization codes on http://www.dragonage...ile.php?id=2213 to do this.

It doesn't matter what you want. It's not possible to have a mod that can do what you want. The most you can get is what you are told above, Carver/Bethany will always talk as if you are/aren't a mage respectively. This is because of dialogue; sure someone maybe able to edit the dialogue, but only the text. All voices will remain the same.

Oddly enough, the addtalent and removetalent commands never worked for me when I tried this method, but doing them manually with GFF Editor worked.

SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR > SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR > SAVEGAME_CREATURE STATS > SAVEGAME_ABILITYLIST > change the 300000 to 200000

Very strange... *shrug*

I did this and it worked but it wont give me mage spected armor which is making it much more difficult also my mana bar is a stamina bar any suggestions on fixing these would changing back to a mage do it or does that restart the whole invisable brother thing again

Well if you want you could try using console (again) to add her to your party.

Allows you to add any member to your party ---> runscript zz_dae_debug

A fair warning, this will break and I do really mean BREAK your game.



Spoiler about the fx of runscript zz_dae_debug command, read with your own risk !!

Spoiler

1. It will make bethany and carver share the same place at party select
screen which ... will makes carver looks like having bethany's breast ...
2. It will break character dialog and banter, in some point will make the
game 'think' neither one of them survived epilogue chapter .
Quick save and quick load sometimes fix this ...
3. At deeproads mission your mother will tell you not to take carver, here is
where the game really break, it does not mater if you bring them both, either
one or none with anders as the 4th member you always will lose them both,
if you take carver when you return home bethany will be taken to circle magi,
if you take bethany ... well I think you already see the pattern here now .

So again use it with your own risk .
