Is there anyway to get around the issue of NPCs not wanting to barter with you when you have a monster party member?
Apparently there is. NPCs don't like it when you have party members who are not mc_type_human. However, having "AI" followers of that type is fine. To convert them to AI followers, you can use the console (at your own risk!) and type: Code: game.party[0].ai_follower_add( game.party[X] ) Where X is the NPC monster's portrait index (starting from 0 for the leftmost portrait). You will then be able to converse with NPCs normally! To convert back into a regular party member, select the monster (and ONLY the monster!) while it is in your group, and type Code: game.party[0].follower_add(game.leader)
Cool. So if I change Darley's creature type to mc_type_humanoid instead of outsider I should be able to use her, right? It has always bothered me that everyone can tell she's a demon. I'll give it a shot.
