Level 1 companion

[Nikomakkos]

I was incredibly excited to find a Wanderer in the Encyclopedia that had no listed skills and was only 20 years old. I rushed to find her because I figured perhaps she was a fresh adventurer that I could customize completely myself. It was a little odd that she was located in a village, but this is a new game with many possibilities.

I realized that I had been in that village before and that I had killed her lover to bring her back to her father. She settled for a compensation of about 2000 denars and joined up with me. Man, this was exciting, a fresh companion that I could make into whatever I needed.

She is indeed only level 1. But she has 0 in all attributes and all skills and no focus points. That might be okay because maybe she'll level up fast to begin with.

But hey, what is this? Her progress to the next level is -210 skill points out of 5! Oh man.

I think the character and leveling system, as it is, is way too punishing and building a good companion group a frustrating experience. This companion I just recruited is probably a bug although it would be so cool if characters you meet doing quests could join the world like this.

I went through exactly the same thing i wanted to train up a companion to be a good party leader I would love to have a mod/way to buy companions at level 1 then we can use them for trading, leaders, governors etc.

Given how slowly the PC ranks up skills currently, leveling a companion would take ages.

I have the guy from the blood feud quest, when I got to his rival there was no option to talk to him about it and the quest timed out and he's still with me, almost up into positive experience now I've even lost him losing a battle and found him again at one point.

My list of wanderers in the encyclopedia is currently polluted to the brim with those damsels... and some family feud guys (they stay in the villages too). Useless, and most probably a bug

There is a mod https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/141, with it you should be able to de-level your companions.It may have some bugs (maybe de-learning perks is not possible), but it is better than nothing
