Wow, they will actually take the time to test before releasing?! It's revolutionary!
everybody who followed this knew it's going to be a rough ride the moment they said they absolutely have to release it by the end of the year, with the implication that they'll go broke otherwise.
So when altering party members' stats, is it still like during the betas? As in: you can give them points and edit their stats during the foraging missions, but if you switch to the next day or take other team-members with you, they'll reset to their original values?
you can use the trainer to give stat points and skill points.
giving stat points lets you allocate them, they become permanent allocations once you leave the char page for that character.
you cannot allocate ally skillpoints, as those are allocated automatically, based on the character in question (might be editable somewhere in the files, since you can edit traits yourself as well), and the points will be spent once you go to sleep for the night.
both of these are permanent, but some characters have really ****ty max skill values/allocation schemes.
