Can multiple guys have animal whisperer?

[pmpdadypenguinmn]

If I put like everyone up to rank 5 of animal whisperer, can I then have 3 animals per person and run around with my very own animal farm?

[Gin-chan]

Yes though afaik its limited to 1 pet per person.

[Rin Palora]

Everyone can have a pet with animal whisperer, but only one pet from that skill per person (the levels are there so you can recruit tougher pets) and you can only have one of each pet in your party. So you can't have two or more cats. You can get extra "pets" to tag along besides the animal whisper ones from quests.

Your MC can have a total of 7 minions with another from animal whisperer for a grand total of 8 :D
Every other companion can get 1 from animal whisperer.
So you can fill some maps with an army of 6 rangers, 6 animal companions from AW, 7 more minions for the MC, the car, and whatever allies are on that map :D

well, I had two cats in my party

Was one of them Tom Cat ?
I don't think he counts, depending on how you recruited him, with the skill or cigarettes.
When I tried to get 2 cats for my snipers it said "there is already one of these kinds of pets in the party" or something similar.

yes, Tom was the first one I got. The second one was a regular cat, I got her only because I was experimenting with the ability, but then stuck with her. When I tried to get a dog I was told that I already had the max amount.

Is it a bug that the other AW character can't recruit any animal? I've made sure to select ONLY them and that they have no other animals following them, but yet I get no "hand" icon when hovering over any animals, only that "Talk" icon, which just prompts the animal making some noise. And I don't think it's a matter of skill level because the first character has a lvl 8 on AW and the second has it at 5, yet can't tame a single animal.

The hand doesn't always appear. However you can manually select the Charm Animal action from the action quickbar miscellaneous section.

[Cider Bizet]

Just tried that but... I noticed my character doesn't actually have the Charm Animal ability at all. The "Tame Predator" is there, and supposedly usable in combat, but there is no option to charm anything, unlike my other guy that can do it.

Try reloading? I've once had Risky Shot missing on my Lancer user. After the reload the ability was back.

more info on this would be welcome, as I wanna recruit as much stuff as I can xD

Checked the internet and didnt find that info.

My MC has two pets, the 2 headed goat and major cat. Heard major cat doesn't count.

In my party, each one with animal whisperer has a companion, ok.

We also have the clone.

But how can MC get more "minions"? Do you count the robots you summon in battles, which auto destroy on end?

Because MC can't recruit more animals besides one and the major cat.

[haplok]

I think also Polly the parrot is a special case, like Major Tomcat.
Plus, apart from Animal Companions, you can eventually recruit: Party Bot (depending on story choices), Poultron cyber-chicken, Courageous the golden toaster who shoots fiery toasts to set enemies on fire and a russian Bot from a crashed space station who fires plasma bolts at the enemies (near end game, though).

Regarding my problem, yes I have made to sure reload, many times, close the game, reboot PC, verify cache, etc etc. The only way to really remediate this without a dev hotfix would be reload a save that is over 10 hours ago, when I first used the Animal Whisperer book, I assume. Well ♥♥♥♥.

Regarding the minions thing, the game seems to override the pet maximum if the animal is recruited through "dialogue" as opposed to through the skill use. So you can have, I assume, one character with major tomcat, polly and a third animal following them. I think that's because it counts them as an extra companion before an animal, like the clone and Provost

Okay after reading all the comments i got this:

1. You only need one char with AW to get one animal companion for every PC.

2. But you are restricted to one animal of a kind for your party. A special Animal like Major Tom is taken as his own kind.

What i don't got:

Is there any way to change an animal from one PC to another?
