Divinity Unleashed

Description
One mod to fix every community complaint about the world's greatest RPG, fully compatible with all of your favourite mods! REQUIRES NORBYTE'S SCRIPT EXTENDER[github.com] TO RUN.



Divinity Unleashed keeps the core DOS2 experience everybody loves and polishes its flaws into a solid foundation compatible with nearly any mod you can dream of. This gameplay overhaul bends over backwards to integrate with your favourite class mods, skill expansions and content packs, letting you fully customize your every playthrough.



This mod requires Norbyte's Script Extender[github.com]. You must install it first!
Norbyte's Script Extender is a powerful new tool that makes features like cooldown reduction, status extension and stat modification possible. To install it:
  • Visit this page[github.com]
  • Follow the instructions on the latest release
  • That's it - nothing else!
If you still have trouble installing, refer to Odinblade's How to install Norbyte's script extender guide.



  • Armour Overhaul: No longer acting as two separate HP bars, the armour you build now behaves as static damage reduction. Hybrid parties are better than ever before.
  • Status Simplicity: No status, even from mods, is resisted by armour or any other kind of mechanic. Instead, statuses from both the base game and other mods have been rebalanced for immediate application.
  • New mechanics: Cooldown reduction, status extension and more add a fresh coat of paint to the gameplay you love.
  • Lightweight and Immersive: Divinity Unleashed's features are unintrusive and let you pile on as many mods as you want, letting you play the game your way.
  • Turns Galore: Turn-skipping status effects have been made scarce, allowing for faster-paced combat. Even modded statuses have been predictively altered to fit this style.
  • Build Freedom: Offering more build freedom than ever before, Divinity Unleashed puts hybrid parties, healers and tanks on even footing with a comprehensive overhaul of character progression.
  • Not in the mood for cheese?: The game’s craziest exploits have been reined in for a tighter, more challenging experience. Telekinetic instant kills, infinite resurrection chains and sniping enemies miles away outside of combat have been scripted into oblivion. Get ready for a challenge!
  • Superior Balance: Thanks to an in-depth reworking of core game skills and mechanics, the Damage Meta is a thing of the past. With an even playing field, any sufficiently planned build is viable.
  • Might and Magic: Enemy resistances are squashed down to size and bosses no longer generate immunities on higher difficulties, gaining other buffs instead. Witches and wizards alike are more viable than ever.
  • Permanent Summons: Summons now have infinite duration, but while active, the skill used to summon them remains permanently on cooldown during combat. Summons are encouraged to cast before combat and keep alive.
  • Existing Save Compatibility: Thinking about trying this, but don't want to start a new game? Go ahead and slap it on an existing save file. This mod won't bite!
  • And much, much more!

You can read absolutely everything this mod has to offer in the cleanly formatted mod document[docs.google.com].



Divinity Unleashed works with all of your favourite class and skill mods. No compatibility patch required!

From any mod:
  • Corrosive and Magic damage are converted to Physical and Air respectively
  • Armour restoration is either converted to Vitality healing or converted into a custom status effect such as a boost to physical armour
  • Statuses previously resisted by armour... aren't!
  • Skills that scale with armour are boosted to deal appropriate damage
  • Weapon damage bonuses have been increased
  • Turn-skipping crowd control (except invulnerability statuses like Feenex's Cyclone) are automatically converted to non-turn-skipping, debilitating statuses instead

Mods that do not work with this mod:
  • Other core gameplay overhauls, such as Divine War. (Skill and ability overhauls like Odinblade's are fine)
  • Other mods modifying statuses.gamescript. (Only other core gameplay overhauls presently do this anyway)

Load order:
  • Does not matter.
Just be sure to load any mods changing base game skills after this mod, if you want their changes to take priority.



If you want to learn more about the extensive changes Divinity Unleashed has made to the game, you can browse the documentation[docs.google.com] at your leisure. It's an easy read, promise.

Try verifying integrity of game files via Steam and reinstalling the script extender.

Tried out swapping between workshop and nexus mods, loading older saves, and running previous versions of Unleashed and still getting CTD. I'll keep testing and see if any thing does the trick.
Kalavinka  [author] Jul 21 @ 5:00am 
I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't know why that would be happening. All I modified since 2022 isis stats, localization strings, and some new story code - nothing that should be causing a crash. That's truly bizarre.

Try going to Change Notes and downloading a previous version and seeing if that helps. (If you can't do that, check out the Nexus page - download the latest version from 2022, which is what you'll have been using prior.)

It may also be worth the cheesy old solution of verifying your game files' integrity through Steam. Maybe give that a shot first.

Has an update broken old saves?

I'm returning to a co-op campaign from a few months ago with ~20 mods including Unleashed. No previous compatibility issues but now almost any interaction causes a CTD. I've tried reinstalling and resubscribing to no success. Whether it's the only active mod or not, if unleashed is active talking to any NPC or fighting anything results in a CTD.

<3 I hope you enjoy!

Holy...! An update after such a long time?
Thank you for your dedication and work :D

This mod does not add any GUI buttons.
K.A. Jul 18 @ 2:39am 
when you watch the origin characters story in character selection, the two new buttons from the menu are visible and intrusive.

Thanks, will address you in Bugs. But just so you know, Pyro bonus no longer relies on fire status - it also triggers when you're in a fire surface, so the anti-synergy isn't a thing anymore

it's v2.5.1.2, they do mention preventing the statuses but they don't so in game, no matter the source, mine or anyone else's. i'll attach a picture as proof in bugs but the situation doesn't really matter, it happens on every instance of fire. (on a side note, this may be for the best otherwise it would have anti synergy with pyrokinetic bonus)

Elemental affinity dmg penalty also isn't listed in damage under attributes.

It's not a fresh save, i already had the talents from a previous version if that matters, not sure what else to say but i'd be glad to help if you need me to check anything else. i don't run any other mods that would interfere with this.
