Fixed companions should scale too

[Baron]

Hi,

Recruiting companions can be a pain, as they are lower level, and often with less traits than your long-time team. You have to find the correct one, with correct traits, then you have to level them once or twice so they catch up, only so you can try this new skill or new weapon...You get the idea.

I thought that hidden companions (such as Inquisitor Aurea, or the couple in Drombach) would fix the problem. However, they don't seem to scale after you first visited them.

As a result, I went to Aurea when I was level 8 (adaptative mode, Ludern was my 4th region). The timing to recruit her wasn't right, so I left her.

Now that I've "finished" the game (only a few things to grab, but regions, tombs and so on have all been cleared), I thought I would take the chance to try the new brute class with my level 11 party.

Went back to prison, and...Aurea was still level 8. She is now even lower level than the prisoners alongside her, or people at the inns (which are level 9 at the moment. Still troublesome, but it's another matter).

Shouldn't those companions scale just like the rest ? Seems to me that leaving them at the level you see them for the first time is either an oversight, or a bummer.

Good day !
