Why are there missing tactic commands?

[Kawakimi]

I'm not sure why but there seems to be a fair amount of skills missing when setting up tactics for my characters. For example, most shape shifting abilities from the ES Learned Forms mod do not have skill entries when setting up tactics, as you can see in this example, where shred isn't in the list, but howl is, as "Blight Wolf" Morrigan: http://yfrog.com/7fscreenshot2010032412454j

 

But more importantly, on another save game of mine, which would be my first playthrough, My main character, as a rogue, is set up to use stealing on short range enemies. Strangely enough, when I loaded his game ad looked at his tactics, the setting was still there, but the option to make one wasn't. To clarify, take a look at this screenshot: http://yfrog.com/evscreenshot2010032412295j

 

My questions are as follows:

1. How does one go about changing the "database" that the game uses to decide which skills are usable in tactics and which ones aren't and

2. Why would I suddenly be unable to put stealing as a tactics-cast skill? I tried disabling all mods that could possibly interfere with anything skill or tactics related, but the options is still gone. My only theory would be some sort of recent game patch has taken it out, but I have seen no such change in any of the patch notes.

Hello,

 

if you have installed the Patch v1.03, then this _is_ caused by the Patch, although EA/Bioware doesn't say much about details, what this Patch does :confused:

 

But... they do say in a very hidden way, that this is "...some sort of recent game patch..." - They say about this patch:

 

".....* Various changes have been made to code and resources........."

 

If you match this with the file size of the Patch (63MB - CODE and resources), then you should think of a _very_ recent Patch (even together with the few other written changes, a modder would make in a much smaller file) :confused:

 

I suppose, that they have written half or more of the core-code new.... check out this thread at Bioware, what the Patch causes to many others (but - sure - not _all_ players): http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/1633999/1

 

If you don't mean this Patch, forget, what I have written :wink:

 

Greetings
