Lucanis Lost Skill Point Bug

The bug works as follows: When navigating to Lucanis's skill tree, it seemed to have deleted all invested skills. The points were not returned, leaving him permanently behind the other companions. He does still gain additional skills from improving his bond (as normal), but this did not return the skills previously lost. Although his bond is 7, he only has 4 skill points total. I am playing on PC using the EA games launcher.

Any previous save when his bond was at 5 show him at 0 skill points, with none spent. On my earliest save (right after he becomes hardened), he is rank 3 with 4 skill points to spend.

I cannot refund skills spent without investing in a skill, and investing and then refunding skills does not return the skill points lost from this bug (so this is not a possible fix).

I first noticed this after Lucanis's "A Murder of Crows" quest- but reloading previous saves from before the quest seems to suggest that he lost his skills before the quest even began. Possibly a bug from the newest update?

This Lucanis is hardened, if that helps. Thankfully, as of now, it doesn't seem to have affected any of my other companions.

In the meantime, does anyone have information on how to fix this? I would like to use him in my group, but it's disheartening when he's so far behind the other characters because of this.

    Hey folks,

    thanks for your reports! This seems like a weird bug, and it would indeed be helpful to get some save files to investigate this further.

    So, if you're playing on PC, could you possibly upload a copy of your save file or in a .zip in a reply here? I can pass that on to the team then. Thanks!

  • I’m having the same issue on Xbox. He’s also hardened for me but I was playing with him a bunch. Thought I was crazy when his skill points disappeared. We’re at level 8 but he only has 4 skill points. I want to go into the final fight with him but he’s under leveled.

  • I also found this issue on xbox. While doing the quest "a murder of crows" i noticed he had no skill points. I loaded earlier saves and it seems his points were lost during Davrin's quest "a friend in need" or Taash's quest "slaying the fangscorcher". 

    FWIW Lucanis is hardened and was not in my party for Davrin's or Taash's quests i mentioned. I'll load the save from before the quests and see if i can find when exactly the bug pops up

    Hey, there was another one on their AHQ boards like this. They need your save files. This is what they asked on the other thread

    Here’s what we’re looking for:
    As many save files as you can share – the more, the better!
    Saves from as far back as you have them – even those early-game saves can be super valuable.
