MORE COMPANION SLOTS

[anyamarie]

what i would like is for the companions to go from three(four if you have the extra dog slot) to four, five or six

as they travel with you, maybe have up to six companions with you who are active as you go about trying to

raise the army you need to defeat the blight. i ask this because it would be more like it would be if this actually

happened. i am surprised no one has even done this.

runscript zz_addparty NPCname - Add a companion by name to the player's active party. If the specified character is not currently available as a party member, then this command will hire them and make them available for selection in the party picker selection screen from this point forward. Some characters (Alistair, Morrigan & Dog) will be added without invoking the party picker. Adding others (Sten, Leliana & most others) will automatically drop the player into the party picker when this console command is used, even in areas where the party picker isn't normally available.

The Mabari War Hound is called 'Dog' or 'dog'.

 

This command can be used to remove party members as well as add them. This is done by adding one of those characters (such as Leliana or Sten) that automatically call up the party picker selection screen. Characters can then be removed from the active party by simply deselecting them.

 

This command can be used to add companions that have not yet been encountered, or which have been encountered, but for whatever reason, either weren't hired or have permanently left the party. This includes characters whose hiring opportunity has been lost, characters who have been killed by the player, characters that have abandoned the party, characters that have left because they were told by the player to do so, and characters that have been permanently removed via zz_dropparty. In these cases the newly added companion will behave as if he or she was just hired for the first time, even if he or she has previously been in the party. Once this command has been used to add a character, the character will continue to remain selectable within the party picker selection screen even when this isn't command isn't used. In Awakening the command has been changed to (runscript zz_gxa_addfollower name), so far it works for Velanna and Justice, but doesn't work for Mhairi, Oghren, Anders, Nathaniel or Sigrun.

 

This command can also be used to exceed the normal maximum limit of 3 companions in your active party. However, once the normal 3 companion limit is exceeded, additional companions no longer get portraits on the side of the screen. Neither can their abilities & spells be invoked directly by the player from their quickbar. Nevertheless, these additional companions can be controlled via their tactics settings which may still be adjusted, and which these extra characters will still follow. Equipment for these characters can also still be accessed and altered as normal.

It will tell you how to enable the console command. I'm not sure if there is a mod out there that will do this.

:ohmy:

Those particular cheat cheat codes do not work properly. There are two commands...one to break the limit and another to add a member by name. I tried it every way possible using Sten (because he wasn't getting much playtime..he was falling behind)...caps, lowercase in every possible arrangement. I would leave it alone. I have had luck with some cheats and others appear to do nothing. Only a few of them work properly and most of them are rather useless or sound frightening. I have had much more luck with mods as they can have an interface option to enable or disable. Besides, in certain missions, you may not *want* particular members. They can get pretty pissed at plot decisions. If you prefer to use a lot of strategy instead of relying on tactics (macros)...like me, an extra member just means more time spent giving orders.

 

Testing cheats are for testing and they are mostly useless or give very undesirable results in-game, before you try any of them, you need to save your game. Also there seems to be no complete list floating around. You could probably discover more with different combinations. The only practical use for them I can see is to re-spawn an item you accidentally destroyed or to create money (but that's not fun). Unless you are creating a mod, using the cheats in game yield extreme results or none at all.

 

 

Hope what I said helps. :unsure:
