What does this mod aims at :
First it will make companions, yours and those of the AI, earn XP when they do tasks out of fight, so it will allow them to raise their skills that they actually can never levelup in the native game.
Secondly it will improve companion roles, adding new features to the game depending on their skills.
Thirdly will fix/change how wanderers are created, having their skills and attributes less randomly spent and make more sense.
If you like my mod, don't forget to endorse and track for future updates.
For a list of feature, how to use the configuration file, alternate download source or even more, check my wiki. (It will be expended regularly)
