Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Modding and minor tweaks

First I'd just like to say you guys have a done a fantastic job and made the game I've always wanted to play... kinda too good of a job... I can't wait for it to be finished but I don't want to burn out on it in it's current state.

So I know you guys have a level editor in the works, but I'm wondering how much of the game I can change already. Can I tweak things, so I can further enjoy the game now...

So questions:

Can I mod and what can I mod?
Looking through the files it seems like it's all pretty open... haven't ran into anything encrypted. Our you as a studio open to me and others expanding and editing you're game even in it's alpha state?

Can/Will players be able to make their own skills?
I can only dream of the amazing things that could come of this...

Finally, the specific mod I'd like to make is to change the way the stats work(int, dex, strength etc). I'd like to tie range damage to perception and action points per round to dexterity having had a quick look through I haven't found where I can do this.
Is it something I can do? If so can someone direct me to the file/file's?

I'm more then happy to share anything I make with the community.

Thanks! L/D

Haven't had a look for that stuff just yet, pretty easy to edit stats on the fly with a hex editor to make testing easier at the moment though, aside from that I don't think editing any game files is proper at this point as it would just clutter things when you send a bug report after a crash I think, or perhaps stop you from being able to do so at all I'm not sure of how the checks run at the moment.

Near as I can tell you would be able to change what you're after with the editor, would be too much of a hassle at the moment for you without it but hey if you need me to have a look through anything (barring a cease and desist from Larian) I'll have a go and lend you any help I can.

Thanks man, I'm pretty code savy, so if I can get to the files I'm not to bothered about how difficult it is.

Good point about bug reports though... I don't want to mess up there database with some odd entries and metrics...
