Mod to stop summons scaring folk

[Xihe]

So I'm playing Shadowheart and usually have some summon active as well as Gale having an elemental up. And so many times I've had the game just breaks because NPCs drop whatever they're doing and run away from my summons.

I can't initiate conversation and half the time their scripts just permanently break and I have to reload.

Having to unsummon and resummon just to have a conversation is a waste of spell slots. Especially because some conversations can lead to combat...

Can we get a mod or option for this?

Chasing people around because they're backing away from the summons... or you can't stop them from following and asking if they can pet the bird... XD (It's like a mobile successful performance check without the gold.)

leave the summons outside where they wont scare who youre speaking to

I totally get you. I'm skipping that necromancer book on my second playthrough; the risk of bugs is just too high.

Doesn't the dynamic crowd option handle this? or do you not want them reacting at all?

I leave them somewhere and get them if a fight starts.

Else they will always follow into a new area even when disconnected to the summoner.

But it sucks ofc.

In my first playthrough my summons scared off Dammon into the danger zone and turned him into an undead enemy, couldn't fix karlach engine because of this.

You can literally ungroup them and leave them outside or away from people...

Yeah how annoying it is with 13 summons as a necromancer ?

The ungroup button only work for party member on my side, zombies are not affected, i have to manually manage them.

You've got to manually unsummon those critters one by one, or they'll tag along to new maps, causing chaos.

there is another grouping button attached to the person who did the summoning, click it

NPCs will follow the summons outside and get killed. During one playthrough an important NPC died to the shadow curse because of it. You basically have to stick them extremely far away for that to work and worse still if you waypoint, they come with you no matter what. So you can't take the closest waypoint but the next closest. Its not a great solution. Easier just to not summon until you know it wont mess anything up. Like in a Dungeon.

They will follow you to the new map
