Can't distribute brother skill points anymore? 1.2.5

[glaps]

Whenever i pick up my brother, he's points are already spent. i've tried it twice now and wondered if this is the norm now or is my game is just bugging

Your settings have changed. You need to deactivate "Auto Allocate Clan Member Skill Points" at launch.

Cheers mate. it is unticked. tried saving it before the hideout and reloading. My old saves never had this problem

[Stray952]

Did that work? Pretty sure they're just set now

[glaps]

na, might be set now. I don't see why they would change it

I started playing new campaign and got this bug. How i can fix this bug? Cheats?

[Linatan]

I have the same. Yesterday I freed my brother and closed the game. Today patch 1.2.6 was released and when I looked at my brother, all the stats were determined. Now I don’t know if this is how it should be or if something is broken.

Afaik it's a bug and not yet been fixed.

3 actions for a comfortable game in these realities 1.2.6:
1. Find and open the engine_config file; set the cheat_mode = 1;
2. Open the game and add to your brother the number of characteristics and focus that you consider necessary, using the commands:
campaign.add_focus_points_to_hero Niasen | 8 - focus points
campaign.add_attribute_points_to_hero Niasen | 1[ - this command adds one attribute point, so we enter it several times.
Save game.
3. Leave the game. Disable cheat_mode in engine_config, setting the value to 0.

It has been like that since 1.2.5. I am more skeptical that it is a bug. There's been a trend in closing exploits and increasing consistency in the world.

Having the player be able to have an OP dude with super high stats, and then allowing them to re-assign all of the focus points and stats to start building their 0 skills results in a character that breaks the rules of the game.

The only logical reason to set the brother's stats is for a player-exploit. That guy cant have stats that high if you give him 1 in vigor (as I always do, not judging). Further, if you don't like his perks you can reset them at the arena.

It's a bug......

We'll see

Got the same bug. Other brother and sister are ok, so u will have at least 2 good companions. I had to take random companion as engeneer tho.

[Feren]

Found a workaround for now..... input the command as shown from the error tip but leave the number blank, this will add one point so you will need to run the command numerous times to get the desired number.

For example

campaign.add_attribute_points_to_hero feren |
or
campaign.add_focus_points_to_hero feren |

For precision the vertical character after feren is the key above shift and enter on keyboard. The space after the | key does not seem to be required. Hope this helps.

Not a bug. Your eldest brother has fixed points now...no more uber builds. The two younger siblings are still allocable, but the eldest is not. Another FUBAR in my opinion. So many games are being broken by Devs right now. Conan Exiles just got a horrible update as well. Must be something going on in the industry.

It applies for the elder brother. Your younger siblings and any children that come of age, will have points for you to freely distribute..
