Best Divinity: Original Sin 2 Mods

Not many CRPGs get made anymore despite the overwhelming success of Baldur’s Gate and the Neverwinter Nights series. There are still a few that get made, though, one of which is Divinity: Original Sin 2. This behemoth of an RPG has enough content to keep players engaged for hundreds of hours, but this playtime can balloon further with mods.

Content mods aren’t common for Original Sin 2, but the number of mods that range from overhauls to quality-of-life changes provides just enough incentive to try another playthrough. This game has a few issues, but well-made mods put Original Sin 2 on another level of quality entirely. Here are several Divinity: Original Sin 2 mods that make the game even better.

Updated on February 22, 2025, by Mati Kent-Nye: People who were lucky enough to experience the brilliance of Divinity: Original Sin 2 understand why the resurgence of the CRPG genre it brought was hailed by the masses. Without this game, Baldur’s Gate 3 would not be the beloved revolutionary RPG it is today. After all, it is on the shoulders of Divinity 2 that Larian built Baldur’s Gate 3, emulating what it did well while fixing story and pacing issues that served as minor problems in an otherwise perfect game. Whether players are getting into this title for the first time or clocking in another 100+ hour playthrough, these mods are sure to give them some more content to sink their teeth into.

Expanded Tooltips

Few mechanics are as helpful as Divinity: Original Sin 2’s toggleable tooltips. Too often, RPGs rely on players finding lootable containers without guidance. While an organic way to go about adventuring, players are all but guaranteed to miss powerful treasures, curious secrets, and important quest items.

This mod is a must-have for treasure goblins and hoarders alike, ensuring they can get their hands on even the most secretive of nooks and crannies. After all, players never know when a new item will come in handy.

Unique Loot Drops

More Unique Items

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a game that is pretty loot-driven, with inventory management being a downright pain to deal with at times. Still, it’s all worth it when players find a particularly useful piece of loot that helps them deal with enemies that could usually give them a tough time otherwise.

With this mod, the number of unique items in the game is increased by quite a lot. Suffice it to say, players will love the idea of exploring the world and finding a wealth of well-balanced pieces of equipment that help them deck out all their party members in the best equipment possible, increasing one’s chance of laying waste to any foe who dares to stand in their way.

Full Loot

Merchants Have Their Goods On Them

• Number Of Downloads: 19,658

At a glance, it’s easy to see why most merchants don’t drop everything they own when a player unceremoniously finishes them off. This can potentially break the balance of the game since all players need to do is kill the owners of certain skill books and powerful pieces of equipment to make things easier for themselves in the long run.

Still, it can be somewhat immersion-breaking that these merchants have none of the items they were peddling to players before their death. This changes with the advent of the Full Loot mod, which ensures that merchants who have been struck down die with all their wares in their possession, allowing players to loot their bodies and obtain every single item without too much of a fuss.

22

The Cheat Commander

Gain Access To Cheats

Players who have finished Divinity: Original Sin 2 multiple times may find the grind in each playthrough to be a bit too much to handle. Sometimes, players just want access to the fanciest toys without having to waste too much time trying to respec their build or ensuring that they are investing every point wisely.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – 8 Best Character Mods

These fantastic mods for Divinity: Original Sin 2 are perfect for players who want to enhance the game characters a little more.

The Cheat Commander is a simple mod that lets players allocate stats without wasting any time, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what this mod can accomplish. Gold, experience, levels, gear, and everything else along the same lines can be generated by this mod, making things easier for those who don’t want to punish themselves for trying to accomplish the same tasks over and over again.

21

Interesting Uniques

Unique Items Have Unique Effects

Unique gear should be something that players look forward to, featuring increased stats and huge bonuses that can help them tackle insurmountable odds and come out victorious. However, most of the unique gear in Original Sin 2 ends up being something that players equip for a few hours before moving on to something bigger and flashier.

This mod aims to make each unique item in the game all the more viable, incentivizing people to equip them whenever they get their hands on a particular specimen. Players don’t have to be disappointed by a unique item with basic attribute bonuses since the vast majority of items have a special effect attached to them now, too.

20

Infinity Spirit Vision

Spirit Vision Stays Active Once Turned On

Spirit Vision is one of the most important abilities a player can use to uncover hidden quests, talk to spirits that have passed on, and uncover any hidden information that will help them understand the lore of the world even more. Unfortunately, this skill needs to be activated every single time, and the instances of its use aren’t always that obvious.

This can cause players to miss entertaining encounters and puzzle solutions, which can become pretty grating after a point. Thankfully, with the Infinity Spirit Vision mod, players don’t have to manually trigger this power every single time, which will save them the headache of wondering if they’ve missed out on a ghostly encounter because they forgot to turn Spirit Vision on.

Bartering Tweaks

Streamlined Bartering

• Number Of Downloads: 165,719

Divinity’s bartering system is solid overall, but it does have one endlessly frustrating issue: the barter and persuasion skills used are character-dependent. That means if a player accidentally makes a trade with a non-bartering specialized character, they can kiss all their extra money and bartering bonuses goodbye.

With this mod, the party now shares the highest barter and persuasion skills when trading, regardless of the character chosen. No more setting up complex trades only to have to scrap it all and start again because the wrong character was selected.

Epic Encounters: Origins

Completely Overhauls Gameplay

Epic Encounters: Origins is arguably the most ambitious, comprehensive overhaul mod one can find for Divinity: Original Sin 2. The number of changes here is staggering, ranging from balance tweaks to the addition of new progression systems. Covering all of them would warrant an article on its own!

Veterans who can’t stand Divinity’s combat balance need to give this mod a try. It does an excellent job of shifting Original Sin 2‘s combat to a more tactical turn-based RPG than what Larian accomplished. Its Ascension system is also expertly done, granting the addictive character progression and build diversity seen in ARPGs without taking away from Original Sin 2‘s CRPG roots.

8 AP (Definitive Edition)

Increases Character AP

Action Points govern all the actions a character can perform during their turn in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Maintaining a decent store of AP is important to ensure that players can whip out the techniques they want during their turn without being completely overwhelmed by their opponents. However, despite how well-balanced the game is, there are times when players may feel that the vanilla 6 AP is so low that they can’t get anything done.

Thankfully, players can opt for the 8 AP mod instead, increasing this limit quite a bit and allowing them to be less stingy about using up their AP during every turn. While some people may argue that the game itself has an option for the same, enabling that form of 8 AP leads to achievements being disabled, which may not be ideal for some players who want to enjoy the best of both worlds.

16

Necromancy Rebalanced 2.0

Reworks Necromancy

Divinity: Original Sin 2 allows for a wide range of builds that are all viable for all but the hardest content. Well, everything except for Necromancy. This school of magic is pitifully weak when compared to other archetypes.

Necromancy Rebalanced 2.0 aims to address this, overhauling the existing skills while adding new ones to allow for more playstyle choices. Players can finally become an army of the undead with this mod’s host of new summon abilities.

15

Void Knight Class

Adds The Void Knight Class

There is a wealth of classes that players can mess around with in Divinity: Original Sin 2, but people who have gone through the game over and over again may get bored of repeatedly using the same skills, especially with a whopping six party members aiding them every step of the way. This is why custom class mods have become all the rage for the game, with the Void Knight being one particularly enticing class that many players love.

Not only is this class devilishly strong, but it also allows players to transform into a Void Dragon at the highest level. It’s easy to see why so many players love this class so much, with the strategic depth brought over by its inclusion making it more than worth its price of entry.

14

Improved Camera

Gives Players Full Control Of The Camera

Having a set angle tied to the camera isn’t uncommon in isometric RPG titles like Baldur’s Gate or Fallout, but this restriction can result in clunky exploration or combat encounters. Original Sin 2‘s camera is by no means bad, but it could be better.

Improved Camera aims to fix this by allowing full control over the camera. It is now possible to tilt the camera to any angle the player wishes, letting them get extremely close to a character or look across the grand environments that are otherwise hard to appreciate. It’s important to note, however, that the game wasn’t intended for a camera this flexible, as some characters and environments will look strange when viewed from certain angles.

13

Vanity

Store And Apply Armor Appearance

• Download Link: Vanity DE
• Creator: GrudgeBRINGER
• Number Of Downloads: 52,142

One thing Divinity: Original Sin 2 nails is its armor design. Even the lower-level gear looks distinct and worth wearing for visuals alone. The problem is that Larian didn’t include a proper transmogrification system in the game.

Luckily, modders have added a pseudo-transmog system into the game. Vanity allows players to store the appearance of the armor in a ring and apply it to any armor set they want. It can feel a little unintuitive initially, but this mod is the best option for adding proper transmog into Original Sin 2.

12

Younger And Smoother Faces

Younger Looking Characters

Most modern CRPGs allow players to control aged adventurers who have a lot of experience under their belt, which makes sense given just how tough the scenarios of games like Divinity: Original Sin 2 are. However, while the idea of controlling aged characters in this game sounds sensible, some players might want their characters to look a bit younger — for aesthetic reasons, if nothing else.

This mod helps players accomplish the same, making aged faces appear way younger. It’s a pretty simple mod, but it’s a great one nevertheless for fans who want their party of adventurers to look less rugged and more youthful.

11

Automatic Item Leveling

Reduces Grinding

Farming new gear for builds can be fun in loot-heavy games such as Borderlands, but it can feel ill-placed in more story-centric RPGs like Divinity. Gear in Divinity: Original Sin 2 does not scale with the player’s level.

Automatic Item Leveling does exactly as one would expect. Every time the player levels up, the game will update that character’s gear to match their new level. Miscellaneous stats are also upgraded. This allows players to spend less time earning levels before farming certain items and more time playing the game at their own pace. While this falls closer to a cheat mod than anything else, it does let players focus more on the game’s story instead of its itemization system.

10

Fort Joy Respec

Tweak New Characters Instantly

• Download Link: Fort Joy Respec

• Number Of Downloads: 87,735

Fort Joy is the first major area players explore in Divinity: Original Sin 2. It’s also the area where they might realize that their build is nowhere near ideal for tackling the various threats present in the game.

Unfortunately, there’s a long way to go before players get the opportunity to respec their character. Thankfully, with the Fort Joy respec mod, players who want to tweak their characters instantly can do the same with relative ease.

9

Divinity Unleashed

Combat Overhaul

One of Original Sin 2‘s most popular overhauls, Divinity Unleashed is an ambitious overhaul of the game’s core mechanics to shake up combat and stat attributes. Players should be aware that a script extender is required to play this, which should hint at just how many changes this mod makes.

Above all, Divinity Unleashed is a combat overhaul focused on removing the abundant stun-locking that occurred in the base game. In its place are a multitude of intelligent balance tweaks and new systems that enhance build diversity and tactical options in combat, all while leaving Original Sin 2‘s difficulty intact. These changes dramatically change how combat pans out, turning Original Sin 2 into a much more tactical RPG. The massive rebalance in Divinity Unleashed also means that build variety is in a much better spot than in vanilla.

Free Pet Pal

Gain The Pet-Pal Trait For Free

• Number Of Downloads: 108,718

Pet Pal is one of the most important traits anyone can have in Divinity: Original Sin 2. After all, almost every animal in the game has unique dialogue that players can miss out on if they don’t have the Pet Pal trait.

With this mod, Pet Pal becomes a default trait for most characters so that players can access all this content from the get-go without having to invest valuable points. Given how tough the gameplay of Original Sin 2 can get at times, each trait point becomes infinitely valuable.

7

Party Size Evolve

Increases Maximum Party Size

The party size limit of 4 is pretty decent in its own right, but this might be slightly limiting for certain players. After all, having to choose from just one of the many companions in the game can be a challenging choice indeed.

Thankfully, the Party Size Evolved mod takes care of this issue. Now, players can have up to ten party members. Though this might be overkill, most players will be fine with it, given how entertaining the game becomes.

HQ World And Icons

Improved Visuals

The graphics of Divinity: Original Sin 2 are pretty great in their own right. However, there are bound to be certain players who want every aspect of the visuals to be nigh perfect.

That’s why mods exist to tweak the smallest visual components in most games. Original Sin 2 is no exception to this rule, with players being able to use the HQ World and Icons mod to improve the quality of the various visual artifacts present in the game.
