Well i found no way, also retraining too often(didnt check how often) also permamently loses you profit factor.

Thanks for pointing this out guys. Duly noted for things to avoid, and a reason to reload before the previous level-up since I picked up a bugged trait I was gonna retrain away.

Im gonna be honest, first time playing youll have no idea what youre doing and youre gonna make mistakes, idea that you will lose permament resource becuase of that is silly.

yeah, i made a merc, but made the mistake of not paying attention to the portrait, so now I have a red headed portrait of a girl, and my guy is a big tough guy with a long white beard...blah

The Toybox might be able to help with that, download the latest file on github, make a folder named 0Toybox0 in unitymodmanager (under LocalLow> owlcat games > Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader) unzip the file in there and press ctrl f10 go to party and its under "stats".

You can literally give them whatever portrait you want or just choose from custom portraits you might have.

toybox doesnt remove the hired mercenary debuff so -1profit

just add +1 pf with toybox to compensate.

This seems like a problem that shouldn't require outside tools or modding to be fixed. The game should warn players of the cost of hiring a mercenary, and it should be possible to fire a mercenary to recover the lost profit factor.

And as for the portrait situation, it should be possible to change a character's portrait and appearance in the game, ideally just whenever but if not then at least during a respec.

These are fairly basic quality-of-life features. I get that maybe time constraints made it impossible to include them at launch, but they shouldn't be that hard to add and hopefully will see inclusion in a patch asap.

really hope this gets fixed.

It should be able to change more than just portrait, you can reset your talent choices, but not first archetype, not characteristics, not homeworld, nor background.
Even then you can only reset talents 3 times before you start losing pf.
If somebody made mistake early only choice is to start from beginning.
