Mods

[Gorwe]

Any "must have" mods? These are my thoughts:

-> Mods concerning Augments and Vocations etc are always welcome. There are a lot of trash, practically useless Augments in the Vanilla version. Like how, for example, a Fighter gets +100HP ALL THE TIME, while Assassin gets +100HP ONLY DURING THE NIGHT! Uhm...wtf? Shouldn't it be either +50 / +100 or +100 / +200? Likewise for those stats. It's stupid that one should spend ~15-20 levels on a Vocation one DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY to PLAY THE ONE HE WANTS! It's...wtf Capcom? Maybe Asians like these, but to me it seems like a pointless grind.

Also, if only there was a mod that applied the (Arch)Staff skill schematic to other Vocations. After one realizes how truly open ended and customizable Mage / Sorc is...ruins the other Vocations, it does. Especially the Warrior(but I guess he is more of an Auto Attacker anyhow).

-> Graphical mods aren't really must have to me. Because I doubt they'd fix my main problem with the game(lip sync, overall kinda uncanny valley feel). The textures ARE low quality for today, but that doesn't hurt my immersion(if I can play Diablo 2 and the like...).

-> Pawn inclinations. I'd LOVE if there was a mod where you could simply set a Pawn's inclination or whatever. The less the game controls me, the better. They should still learn and develop, but starting inclinations are often dumb as bricks. And no, the mini psyche test doesn't really influence their Inclinations much.

-> Romance. Yeah, I'd also LOVE if there was a mod that removed the RNG from it. Or some VERY FAULTY premises at any rate. Yeah, I didn't finish the game, but I did read the reviews before I purchased the game(imagine the Clout! So brazen!). And that bit of info just...UGH! Who thought that was a good idea?

-> Difficulty. Not required. I don't revel in "YOU DIED LIKE A ♥♥♥♥♥!". And, no, Dark Souls aren't difficult. Just PAY ATTENTION and don't whack Quelaag with a FIREball(lol...why even...?)!

-> Remodels etc(Armor and such). Generally not needed, but there are Armors I simply don't like. Would require a complete redesign of those though.

-> Rewards. Only RC and such are needed imo. You get more than enough of everything else. And seeing how I play "offline", yeah the RC is only thing I really need.

Any suggestions?

I think it is near essential for the auto save backup among other things. The more that I use it, the more uses I find for it.

Well, I hoped that the more seasoned veterans of DD could help me pick. 18 pages aren't exactly much(look at Skyrim lol), but it's better to get recommendations.

The vanilla game is...a diamond in the rough is how I'd describe it. So many "??? WTF ???" decisions made by Capcom. And not in a good, Souls way where you need to pay attention and then there practically is no wtf. Example, why is a Cyclops weak to Lightning? How can I deduce that? I can understand lizards and frost, most of living stuff and fire etc, but some things are bordering the unknowable until you try.

They should've made DD 2, not DD:O, a bland and pointless MMO(from what I can gather). But regardless, back to the mods, shall we?

Sorry,
I thought you were asking for mod suggestions.

[Zappieroth]

DDON is actually a much better game then DDDA. But I won't go further into that matter here as for mods.

Resonant ENB or other if you prefer:

Don't Blind Me:
https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/39

Cheat Engine:
https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/96
(This has so many functions just take it and see what you can do it's fun and useful)

World Difficulty:
https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/378
You can also find it on Moddb:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/world-difficulty-by-lefein
(However you like but this mod was made with the intention of making the game harder.
It does more then that but unless you want your ass kicked I suggest you play through the game once before installing this!)

These are the MUST haves in my opinion.
The game doesn't have as many mods as something like Skyrim becuase modding Dragon's Dogma is very hard and not many people even know were to start.

There is plenty of armor mods to go around for tho.
And HD textures including UI I can also recommend but they aren't a necesity.

That's all you need for DDDA. Allow tweak, more shortcuts to access differents menus, editing your characters stats (wanna make a build quick without having to play a class you dont like for dozens of levels ? Just use the level up button and make your arisen or main pawn build in less than 5 minutes), cheat all day long for money and RC if you need to, edit your hired pawns skills, you name it...

Myself I also use a cosmetic mod that remove the scar on the arisen(ette) chest because... reasons...

It is, nevermind my comments about the game. I sometimes think out loud(well...sometimes).

Anything that fixes starting Pawn Inclinations or weird love mechanics? I can find most of other things. Though...

...this is beautiful, I'll admit! The ESC action is super silly. I know that Cap loves its menus, but come on!

Do not use the dinput8.dll hooks mod to line edit your pawn's inclinations. This breaks the way the save file assembles all the pieces of the pawn AI; sure you'll get a pawn who will use its top two inclinations, but nothing else. Pawn use of inclination is actually rather nuanced; the probabililty if it using actions associated with its two to three higher-ranked inclinations are greater, but that doesn't totally preclude it occasionally using other inclinations in its table that have a value of 500 or more.

Occasionally one runs across a pawn that was broken this way, and the fact that it stands there doing nothing because its AI cannot select an appropriate action for the situation is a bit sad.

The only way to fix this is to trash the save file and start over fresh.

If you really want your pawn to use specific inclinations, then edit them via the tools provided in the game, which are inclination potions.

[Gorwe]

Hey, how to install and / or enable dinput.dll hooks? Where do the files go?

[Zappieroth]

Just drop it into your Dogma folder and Press F11 or 12 in game I think.

Where in DDDA folder? I tried loading a save and pressing F12 did nothing. I even rebound the Steam screenshot key. Should I disable Steam Overlay perhaps?

[Zappieroth]

Make sure you have installed the correct version and no, Steam Overlay can stay on.

I installed the latest one from Nexus mods. But F12 doesn't work. Let me try something...

edit: I thought too much. See, I put it in "native PC" because my natural instinct was to go hunting for the deeper folder that contains such .dll files. Works like a charm, though I'd like if the Augments added were visible. /meh

[Gorwe]

One more question abup dinput. If I change the stats of Augments, does that change only the Augments given by dinput or does it change the core Augments(those already present in the game) too?

edit: It works with everything, it's just that the likes of Bastion don't show on character screen(wtf?).

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

Dont try to hack too hard with it. It's not foolproof.
As you have probably already noticed, you can edit stats way beyond the game limitations.
Try as much as possible to use the in-game mechanics when you can.
For augments/skills, just give your character the needed discipline points and vocations levels (dont forget to switch to said vocations at least once afterward for the level to take effect), then buy those skills/augments normally with the NPCs.
This might confuse the game if you give yourself skills or augment you shouldnt be able to use at your vocation level or for a vocation you havent unlocked yet.
And after editing something, make sure everything work properly before saving ofc...

Though it's perfectly fine to swap your skills on the fly if you already learned them properly...

Yeah, I'll just change some of more useless Augments. And such. I'd like to edit Inclinations, but I was informed that I better not do that.
