Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General What should a novice modder unpack?

Unpack Shared.pak and Origins.pak to separate folders.

Use Agent Ransack to search for keywords in scripts and other plain text files to see how things are done.

I'm going to release a Python script later that deletes all of the binaries which improves search times. An SSD also helps a ton.

If you're not going to do any scripting, I don't think you need to unpack anything.
