Divinity: Original Sin II is a game full of choices: You have to decide where to go, who to talk to, what to say, and whose house to ransack after you kill the owner and use a tool to rip their. Feb 28, 2019 - Divinity: Original Sin 2 mods are created every other day thanks to the game's dedicated modding community. These are the 5 best mods.

What are the best Divinity: Original Sin 2 mods? Larian’s masterpiece follows in the tradition of classic RPGs in so many ways: style, mechanics, a focus on story …and a bevy of mods! Divinity: OS 2 is a veritable playground for modders, and plenty of creative amateurs have stepped up to the plate, offering new classes, questlines, races, and more.

Put together the perfect party with our Divinity: Original Sin 2 builds guide.

The Steam Workshop for Divinity is not quite as stuffed as Skyrim’s is – but then, what is? – but it still has more than any normal person can reasonably process. That is where we come in! Without further ado, here is a selection of the best Divinity Original Sin 2 mods in the Steam Workshop.

Bard and artificer classes

The bard is the ultimate Marmite class in many RPGs but such musical magic is sorely lacking in Divinity. Fortunately, for those of us who love the pants off a good bard, here is a solution.

This Divinity: Original Sin 2 mod adds adds dozens of new skills based on two new character builds: the bard and the artificer. The former applies status effects, debuffs, and buffs using new equippable lutes. The latter interacts with items and world objects, duplicating items, buffing allies, and cursing objects (like chests and ladders).

Hybrid skills expanded

Divinity Original Sin 2 allows you to combine different skill books to create new ones (e.g. Necromancer book plus Hydrosophist book equals Blood Rain book), but the number of combinations are limited to 48, so some combos don’t work. With this mod, combining any two books gets you a new spell, adding nearly 40 new skills, all of them being the result of previously unworkable book combinations.

Tempest class

Spears can be a decent weapon but are often not viable. This is because, while they have good range, their damage and stat bonuses are inconsistent. This Divinity: Original Sin 2 mod adds a set of new skills designed to improve spear weapons, perfect for the wannabe hoplite in all of us.

Resurrection skill book

A simple but extremely useful mod which adds a skill book for the spell Resurrection so you can revive your allies at will. In the base game, allies must be revived using Resurrection scrolls, which are expended upon use – which quickly becomes more irritating than challenging. With this mod installed, going from vendor to vendor to hunt down expensive scrolls is a thing of the past.

Weapon Choice V2

For the most part, weapons in Divinity are interchangeable stat-sticks – there is no functional difference between a two-handed club and a two-handed axe. This mod adds more depth to the weapon system by introducing more functional variety between weapons.

A sword increases your dodge and movement speed, but an axe does more frequent and meatier critical hits. With this mod, picking between weapons requires you to do more than just compare stat bonuses.

Divinity Original Sin 2 Best Mods 2019

Crowley’s Supernaturals

For those bored with the five base races available, there is this Divinity Original Sin 2 mod that adds five new supernatural races to the game, each with new racial abilities and skills. Fae are ancient elves who grow wings, Nephilim are angelic creatures who cast divine blessings, Source Witches make use of powerful new source skills, Vampires utilise subterfuge and manipulation, and Werewolves… well, I think you can guess.

JRavens GM Toolkit

If you have ever been frustrated that a model or map from the story campaign isn’t in the GM Mode editor, this mod is for you. It adds hundreds of objects, maps, and NPCs from the main campaign to GM Mode, as well as additional map effects and statuses. A must-have for any ambitious GameMaster.

Crafting overhaul

This is a weighty one. High pressure in saunier duval. This mod adds 1600 new crafting recipes, over 500 new items, entirely new types of items, armours, weapons, and accessories, and even the ability to craft moveable world objects. That includes new arrows and grenades, armour dyes, potions, food, workbenches… we’ll stop there, as we could be here all day.

Helaene – Vampire class

This one goes neatly with the Crowley’s Supernaturals mod (you can play a Vampire Vampire!) as it adds a new vampiric skillset. Something of a blend between scoundrel and necromancer, the vampire class is based around manoeuvrability, life stealing and piercing damage, and also includes flavoursome skills such as summoning bat swarms and walls of corpses.

Character Creation Plus

The character creator is not one of Divinity’s strong suits as the customisation options on offer are hardly exhaustive. Thankfully, this mod is here to fix that. It adds loads of faces, beards, hairstyles, and masks that were in the game but not included in the character creator. You can even give your Godwoken a plague doctor mask, and you should, because plague doctors are awesome.

Druid class

Polymorph is a fun skill set as it lets you grow wings or spider legs. But, sadly, you cannot fully turn into animals. Here we go then: this Divinity: Original Sin 2 mod adds a new skill set that allows the Godwoken to shapeshift into a wide selection of different creatures (21 of them, to be exact), including dragons, djinn and… a blob. Yep.

Sim’s day/night Cycle + dynamic weather

While the world of Rivellon is pretty it feels static at times. Why is it always high-noon in Fort Joy? This mod adds a timer with a day/night cycle to every outdoors location, shaking up the atmosphere with day, night, dusk, and dawn settings. In addition, this mod adds four random weather settings – fog, rain, storm, and sunny.

Helaene – Valkyrie class

Nordic power descends upon Rivellon with the Valkyrie class – a winged avenger with a massive new set of skills. The Valkyrie is essentially a warrior cleric, boasting skills similar to the tankier Warfare skills and various healing and buffing skills. Higher level skills include Ragnarok, which causes a fiery earthquake, and Wrath of Asgard, which rains elements of all kinds upon your enemies.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an exceptional RPG, but that doesn’t mean mods can’t make it even better. With its robust editing tools and intuitive Game Master mode, expect to see lots of tweaks, new features and entire campaigns in the future. We’ll be updating this list over time, but we’ve already found plenty of helpful mods. Here are the best Divinity: Original Sin 2 mods so far.

Free pet pal

Steam Workshop Nexus

The pet pal talent is objectively and irrefutably the best ability in the game. Giving you the power to talk to critters, it’s an endless source of jokes, hints and hidden quests. By not picking it, you’d be missing out on many of the adventure’s greatest moments. This mod simply makes it a free ability, so you can use it straight away without being forced to pick between it and one of the many other handy talents. You’ll be able to blather away with Rivellon’s chatty animals to your heart’s content. An update to the mod also makes it affect everyone in your party, not just your character.

Expanded party size

Steam Workshop Nexus

Original Sin 2’s companions are all worth bringing along on your journey, adding elaborate personal quests to your journal that span the game and providing plenty of roleplaying opportunities. Unfortunately, with the maximum party size of four, you’ll have to leave at least two of them behind. The expanded party size mod, not surprisingly, lets you take all of them with you. There are some minor UI and dialogue issues, but nothing game breaking. Combat will be a bit unbalanced, however, so you might want to consider a higher difficulty.

Infinite spirit vision

Spirit vision lets you strike up a conversation with ghosts, opening up new ways to solve quests. It’s basically pet pal with spectres. Unlike pet pal, however, it’s an ability you have to cast, and it doesn’t last forever. This makes it easy to forget that there could be several more characters floating about. Infinite spirit vision keeps it on all the time, effectively making it a passive ability. If you’re in an area that’s haunted, there’s no faffing required, and you’ll notice right away. The original mod has vanished from Steam and Nexus, but this newer one comes with an expanded radius so you’ll see ghosts that are further away.

Origin and racial skill books

Steam Workshop Nexus

Several skills in Original Sin 2 are exclusive to specific races and character origins. It’s one of the few restrictions in what is an otherwise very flexible, classless system. The origin and racial skill books mod makes these skills unlockable in the same way as all the others by turning them into skill books. This includes pet summons, so you’ll be able to make a custom character that can control Ifan’s wolf and the Red Prince’s dragonling, but it doesn’t include the abilities granted by Fane’s Shapeshifter’s Mask. The skill books can be found in specific book shelves. The mod is no longer being updated as of December 2017.

Artificer and Bard skills

Steam Workshop Nexus

This mod adds a whopping 50 new skills to the game. They can be mixed and matched with other skills or used to create Bard and Artificer characters. The Bard skills call to mind its D&D counterpart, revolving around buffing and debuffing, but the cherry on top is the weaponised lute you can get your hands on. Artificer skills are based around messing with items, like duplicating potions and cursing objects, handy both in and out of combat. Both of these skill sets are great for support characters.

Tempest skills

Spears are kind of weird in Original Sin 2. They’re finesse weapons, but unlike daggers and bows, they don’t have any skills specifically associated with them . Unless you download the Tempest skill pack, that is. This mod gives spears piercing damage, bypassing armour, and also introduces ten spear-based skills that run the gamut from simple jabs to summoning an intimidating barrage of spears.

Chronicles of Divinity map collection

Steam Workshop Nexus

If you’d rather kick off a campaign without building every single map yourself, the Chronicles of Divinity map collection adds 12 new maps for GMs to throw into their games or tweak to their heart’s content. The collection includes a dingy pirate’s cove, an ancient Elven forest and a prison filled with lava. More maps are being added, including an alternate version of Fort Joy. The maps all come from the in-development Chronicles of Divinity mod, an unofficial expansion to the main game that introduces new classes, quests and the ability to sail around in your very own ship.

Combat sneak

Steam Workshop Nexus

By reducing the AP cost of sneaking in the middle of a fight down to two, the combat sneak mod makes stealth a viable combat tactic. At 4 AP, it's normally too expensive to make it all that useful. You'll still need to watch out for archers who might spot you, of course, and you'll want to take advantage of cover and stay out of the red view radius while you're sneaking up on your targets or getting out of dangerous situations. This mod is particularly useful if you take the Guerilla perk, which increases damage by 40% when attacking from stealth.

JRavens GM Toolkit

Divinity 2 Mod Races

Steam Workshop Nexus

While the GM mode comes with a mountain of assets—everything from incidental props and window dressing to ships and castles— you can never have too many toys to play with when you're building your very own campaign. This toolkit expansion adds hundreds of items, both entirely new and stuff that Larian created but either didn't finish or left out of the final version. It also makes the maps larger and more customisable, letting you remove previously fixed elements like rocks and trees. Particularly handy are the empty maps that allow you to create custom areas for your campaign without the need to make them on the separate editor. The mod is still in development, but its creator has been fixing bugs. They recommend starting a new campaign rather than using it in a pre-existing one.

Void Knight

Steam Workshop Nexus

Another new class mod, Void Knight introduces a slew of skills that combine martial and magical attacks that debuff any unfortunate enemies that get in their way. There are skills for strength-based warriors, including knockdowns, charges and leaps, but these are joined by magical abilities that summon shadows and transform the caster into a void dragon. It's a broad set of skills, but the void mark system lends the class some cohesion. Certain attacks apply a void mark on enemies, cursing them and reducing their resistances, and when the number of void marks on a target hits four it empowers that skill. You’ll be able to make a Void Knight in character creation, but you can also pick up the skills from a vendor in Fort Joy and, later, on the Lady Vengeance.

Crafting overhaul

Steam Workshop Nexus

Best Mods For Divinity Original Sin 2

If you’ve found the perfect set of armour but hate the colour, or if you desperately need to craft a sword in the middle of the woods, then the crafting overhaul mod has you covered. Along with more than 1600 new crafting recipes and over 550 new items, it introduces armour dyes, unique craftable gear, fancy elemental weapons and extra conveniences like portable crafting stations and bags. And you’ll also be able to get your hands on the grisly corpse harvester: a weapon that lets you harvest parts from the corpses of your fallen enemies. And why would you need body parts? To craft new items, of course. I suspect Fane’s a big fan of this nasty piece of kit.
