Does the Co8 mod (5.5.0 Beta) lets you have a party of 6 user created PCs? Or did I just dream it in a moment of wishful thinking? If so, how can I recruit that sixth character? If not, well... this game is still awesome and the mod is really, really well made and improves the original play experience on so many levels, thank you and have a nice day.
Yes you can. In TFE adjust the options setting to give you a max of 6 PCs (you can have 8, but then you cannot recruit NPCs). Then when you are in game and creating your party, you can click the 'add' button for six characters. Only the first 5 will appear below, but the 6th will appear in game with you.
In CO8 version 3/ Win XP i was able to do this, but now on Vista this doesn't fine (i'm on Vista x64), does anyone have this same problem?
I also have Vista x64 and just tested it out. It worked fine fir me, (Though I was able to 'add' a 7th but she didn't appear) Make sure you are running the front end with 'run as admistrator' turned on.
