CapnZapp Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I apologize in advance as I am sure this question must have been asked a million times already, but... Where do I find a mod that does the following and nothing else? 1) adds a button or menu choice that removes all perk choices you have made for your character2) correctly sets the number of "unspent" perks, so you can make new choices straight away3) does this in-game without any external programs, bat files, console commands etc I am not looking for anything fancy, like changed perks, skill changes etc. Just the basic ability to reset perks from within the game itself. I really have searched (both nexusmods and Google) but am tearing my hair. I did find a (small) number of fixes but didn't like the WIP-like quality most of them seem to have. Is this something Bethesda is actively trying to combat or why can't I easily find this very basic functionality?! Thus I have registered at the forum site just to ask this question. Thank you in advance,Zapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeira Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think something like that can be done, but it definately takes some time to do this (may be the reason there is nothing like this until now), especially if you want it to be a butten ingame, not a bat file or whatever.

CapnZapp Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Whoa, a lot of traffic here, my topic is already five pages down... Okay, thanks for replying, but your basic answer, then, is "no there is no such thing"? Bummer. A surprised bummer, at that - I really thought this was super-basic functionality that everybody (except Bethesda?) wanted... Oh well. What mod do you recommend then (of the ones available today)?

chanchan05 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 you can respec using console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubnoman Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) How many perks are you looking to change for your character? Most of them? Half of them? Less than those? You could use the console command. It really isn't that bad once you get used to it. Just know it isn't very quick or convenient if you want to change several or many perks. But it gets the job done. Here is a video that shows you how to do it. Put it at max resolution and full screen so you can see the console command text. Watch the video until you understand what you have to do, and then give it a shot with some perks. It is a pretty ghetto way to respec, I know, but like I said, once you get used to it, it really isn't all that bad.

CapnZapp Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Pretty ghetto, yes. Like the name of that mod - inelegant. Thanks but no thanks - I'll wait until there's a proper way to simply "unchoose" my perks (giving me back my perk "points") so I can use the regular game to assign them again.

I am just curious, do you want to respec nearly all your perks? If so, I could see why you'd want to pass on that inconvenient way of reallocating perks. I had changed a handful of perks around before; it wasn't bad when with a handful of perks to reassign.

CapnZapp Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just want the game to feature "respeccing". I don't care for console commands. If I start to use them, it feels I'm taking a step towards all kinds of cheating (giving myself all the gold I want and so on)... I want to load a mod and magically have the game itself allow me to "undo" a chosen Perk; and to make this choice revert that perk into an "unspent" perk (ready to be spend again) in a way that feels user-friendly and well-integrated into the Skyrim user interface. This way it feels (much) less than a cheat or hack, and much more like a patch adding something that IMNSHO should have been there from the start.

gsmanners Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 1) adds a button or menu choice that removes all perk choices you have made for your character2) correctly sets the number of "unspent" perks, so you can make new choices straight away3) does this in-game without any external programs, bat files, console commands etc 1) UI mods are rather difficult to do unless you have some experience with Adobe Flash.2) There is currently no way to set the number of unspent perks, as that is a native function related to leveling.3) Perks cannot be added nor removed except manually and individually. Ergo, your mod would only let you replace perks, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTastix Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm sure mods like these are in the works but it requires some extensive feature-adding because one of the basic functions of a respec option is simply not available by default. As gsmanners mentioned, there currently is no function to give yourself unspent perks. You can either add a perk or remove a perk and that's about it. It's the most common function found in respec options (removing all your perks/skills then giving you the number you removed back as unspent versions) but it's something Bethesda conveniently left out. I don't know why it's even set like this. With the advent of MMOs, respec functionality is one of the most basic forms of improving character customisation and yet, many modern RPGs seem to just "forget" about it or "conveniently" add it in a DLC pack that costs $5-10 USD.
