did they patch the re-roll follower trait exploit?

[Nexus]

like i remember a while ago i think before the relic update, you could savescum follower traits by having two or more followers in the lineup for indoctrination, the first one would always have the same traits, the second would always be randomized. so you could just keep rerolling by reloading a save till you got one you liked. they must of patched that cause i cant do it anymore. least not with narinder. im trying to get him to have a specific set of traits since you can only get one of him but it appears you have to revert to a previous save (through file editing) and fight him all over again to re-roll.

am i forgetting something or did they patch that? and if so, is there any other way to re-roll follower traits?

and before anyone says "who cares, theyre so minor and barely effect anything anyway" cause i know there will be people like that for whatever reason;

i care. hence why i asked.

It might not be patched.

I had the same issue with Narinder and had to refight him to reroll.
But after that, I was able to use the method with the extra follower at the front of the line for the other main bosses.

It could’ve been patched at some point later, but I don’t know.

Or just don't reroll and deal with it

I mean it's a good enough response, RNG is RNG so no matter what you do as commonly said in casino's "the house always wins" take what's given to you because you can make adjustments with your cult itself to either counteract certain traits or certain consequences. Good example is the traits you can gain from doctrines such as the Faithful trait which grants an increase 15% in devotion generation can be used to counteract cultists with the Faithless trait which grants a decrease 15% in devotion generation or the Belief in Afterlife trait can be used to counteract the Fear of Death trait because the trait by itself increase the faith loss from -20 to -25 but also decreases the chances of the cultists puking their guts out when seeing corpses since the Fear of Death trait increases this chance from happening.

Were the credits not skippable? Or able to be sped up by holding a specific button? I don’t remember for sure…


Well, anyway, it was too annoying for me to fully optimize.
I decided to just get him to have no negative traits.
(Except he actually ended up with the negative trait of “lose faith when this follower joins” which only happens that one time.)

You mean the Skeptic trait? That's not as bad and it would probably be within their character after all it's the ex-god of Death. Hell I would say the -10 is more deal-able than something like "Fear of the Sick" because Kallamar can proc this trait's effects if they're not killed prior to getting a cultist with said trait.
