Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

Conversely, I'm interested SPECIFICALLY because it's a tactical turn-based game, which is my favorite shit.

If it was an ARPG my interest for it would CRATER down to near-zero. Especially because there are very little indications Larian would be ANY good at it, given their past track record.
They aren't exactly From Software.

Hello everyone!
I’ve been poking around the Divinity 2 Developer’s Cut and working on a few modding tools. It’s an old game, so I don’t expect a huge amount of interest, but maybe someone will still find them useful.

For now, I’ve released early versions of two tools: a Texture Viewer for browsing and exporting supported textures from DV2 archives, and a DKS Patch Builder for compiling edited textures into a separate DKS_Patch.dv2. The current workflow supports BC1/BC3 texture editing through exported PNG packages while leaving the original game archives untouched. These are still early releases, so feedback and bug reports are welcome.

If you’re interested, you can check the GitHub repositories below, where you’ll find both the source code and portable binaries for easier use:

Texture Viewer: https://github.com/PmNz8/divinity2-texture-viewer
DKS Patch Builder: https://github.com/PmNz8/divinity2-dks-patch-builder

I’m working on other tools as well, but they are still in the research/experimental stage. These two already provide a basic but complete texture-modding workflow.

Frankly I can't even say I cared a lot about getting "Baldur's Gate 4" specifically.
In fact, I don't even like D&D -or more specifically the Forgotten Realms- that much.
It's just that my opinion of Rivellon as a setting is that low that I find the alternative so much more appealing.

But I'll make clear that I'm not even necessarily hostile to it. In principle I'm open to witness an unexpected miracle and see Divinity turn out to be an example of phenomenal world building.

With the way the Larian Discord is (was?) moderated it's not much of a loss to be completely excluded by it.

Not the biggest fan of crafting in general and not a feature I feel it's particularly needed to begin with, but sure... I'll take good crafting over bad crafting.

My main problem with crafting as a core feature is that once you include it becomes quite tricky to have an itemization that doesn't get overshadowed by it OR that makes crafting itself feel pointless.

I couldn't care less if I tried.

this worked for me, thank you so much for figuring this out!
