You will unlock a room that lets you respec in Homestead, but you won't get it until decently far in the game.

Maybe 2/3 of the way through, and only for main characters, not companions.

If you want to respec at an earlier point in the game, you must use Cheat Engine (or some other save editor)
EDIT: albeit, CE can be a little confusing at first, heres the links you'll need
http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=595082 for the program

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wew279uz1p7ita7/EoCApp.CT.zip?dl=0 table you'll need for editing saves easily

The in-game respec option will have the character unlearn most of their skills, so you would have to account for that by buying or crafting (if possible) replacements.


With CheatEngine[cheatengine.org] (if you are playing in Windows), for the install you would either need to uncheck some extra 'offers', or install it while offline. There is also a no-install rar file[cheatengine.org] on the downloads page. If you don't already have an archive manager that can handle rar files, try the freeware 7-Zip[7-zip.org].

The CheatEngine table[www.dropbox.com] (same link as above) is from a forum topic that doesn't exist any more. It wasn't updated for the latest version of the game, but works for what I've tried with it (adjusting abilities and talents).

Start the game and load a save, open the table (I just extracted it into the CheatEngine install folder), click the 'Select a process to open' button at the top left (highlighted with a flashing box cycling between red and green), select EoCApp.exe (preceded by a hex number, ie 00001FD0-EoCApp.exe) and click the Open button and then Yes. In the bottom list, select Hero Pointers, then go through Hero 1 to 4 to identify the right character. There is an 'Upgrade Points' section where you can add attribute, ability and talent points, and sections for each of those where you can remove/adjust values. Double click the value to change, and when you are done, switch back to the game to save/load (some things take effect immediately, character changes require a save/load to get them to show up in-game).

If you can not select the boxes at the bottom in CheatEngine, exit the program and the game and start over. That happened to me a couple times. There may be an easier fix, but I haven't used CheatEngine enough to bother trying anything else.

Much appreciated!

Probably wait till the in game respecs become available, but it's good to know there are options.
