DOS2 - Divine War X Modded Content

11 items

Description

This mod enables players to skip Fort Joy and start the game at Act 2 - Reaper's Coast

Enough is enough.

You've broken free of Fort Joy, braved the Hollow Marshes and saved Gareth's useless behind enough times. It's time to begin anew in Reaper's Coast.

Features

Characters are levelled up to level 9 after Character Creation.
Begin the game with a full set of armor. No more rags!
Start off with 10000 gold per player avatar.
Bedrolls and some other important items are scattered around the starting zone.
All of your favourite companion characters are here and alive!
no invisibel shriekets

New in Definitive Edition:

Ever wanted to play the game? Now you can!: Malady no longer grabs you and breathes words into your face the moment Act 2 begins. This assumes you already know what to do in Reaper's Coast - but if you don't, you can figure it out from the journal or talking to other NPCs. If you're worried about Malady, you can find her in the usual place she goes after her exposition dump.

Credit goes to SimranZenov for providing the Skip the Hold mod for vanilla, from which he allowed me to sample story script to repurpose for this mod.

It sounds like you may not have had the DOS2 Script Extender installed correctly for Odinblade's Huntsman Overhaul. I suggest checking out his guide for that https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2031669903

That way you can play with both mods

At First i had the same issue as a couple other people in that it kept telling me that it "cannot create story" but after some triall and error it turns out it was odinblades huntsman overhaul mod that was actually preventing it from working once i disabled it, it worked perfectly fine! Great mod

can you do a mod which skips just the prison bit of fort joy? so start at the bridge where the trader is and skip the walking around in rags for 4 hours and doing menial side quests.

Kalavinka [author] Jan 16 @ 8:24am

It shouldn't require the script extender in theory as it was made long before the extender released, but that's a good point. I also have the extender installed, which may have made a difference.

Does this mod require norbyte's script extender? I had the "cannot create the story" problem with others mod before installing it. This mod is working for me
