Let us respec MC starting archetype

[RussianMew]

Good day

At voidship players can respec their lvls in archetype

But with game progress we find more and more items for Dogmatic/Iconoclast/Heretical ways

As example - at Heretical way you find melta-gun early, but only one follower can use it... And even if your MC would get to it's requirement, not the fact, that their archetype would be good for it

Since most people do just one game run with current way (like one with Dogmatic and one with Heretic for story), it is lame to get gear we cann't properly test or make builds around it

Please, let us make starting archetype respec at voidship

It wouldn't break lore (since Homeworld/Origin/Triumph not affected), and let us

1) Test all the gear we find
2) Test different party builds for different boss fights (yeah, 2 officers for Aurora fight)

Thank you for your time

Worse, you can only respec companions to their starting level. That's fine for the early game companions, one mediocre perk and/or off skill choice doesn't hurt too much. When you get later companions with an entire archetype filled out though, unless they come with something truly unique like the naviagator (not that she has this problem, just an example of what a unique character can be) they are all going to be worthless.

how do you know if your build is even any good?

True (remembering crazy builds from Pathfinder 1, when used Jaethal as main tank with 1 starting lvl in Inquisitor and 19 lvls in Warrior/Tower Shield Specialist... Because she is unique undead and tanked most harm spells + didn't literaly explode from over-damage in the face)

Still, companions fixed lvls and archetypes can be explained by "authors vision" and game lore...

But MC is an wildcard we can manipulate to get most unique experience from different walkthroughs...

Not many people would play the same story (like Heretic only) just to test some gear they couldn't use with their current build

God forbid games actually have you play characters who progress with consequence anymore.

Because game let us to make some crazy builds

Like got 15 lvl Biomancer/Warrior with 75 parry, 117 dodge with no combat buffs stats (dodged everything like a Neo, but didn't help much vs Aurora/sniper) (Forge World - Locomotion System)

Or going for another build for Biomancer/Warrior with max hp/armor and synergy perks (to test it on Aurora fight) (Forge World - Subskin armor)

No, it's just me =)

I am a huge fan of hard tanks around dodge/armor builds, and here biomancers are the best for it (they are like paladins... heal/buff/psyker perks... and Deathworld MC can get bonus agility/willpower from injuries, means even more dodge chance and stronger heals)...

I am sure, there are many others who picked their own poison and try to test it limits =)

Sanctic psykers are even better at that, plus they have the whole "paladin" theme perfectly. Of course there's nothing stopping you from going bio/sanctic, except of course that the game hands you one of those anyway.

I wish they would let us properly respec all the charcters - I have 3 operatives in mine because of who I want to take -.-

The game does have toyobx mod available and the game itself has the unity mod manager already built in.

toybox you can do level 0 which allows you to respec the archtype. Not any of the origin stuff.
