to optimize graphics, weight, armor and much more (2024)

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a new role-playing game from Capcom. In spirit she is reminiscent of other representatives of the genre Skyrim or Dragon Age, but at the same time has its own unique features. And it can be made even better with custom tweaks. In this article we have collected the best mods for the game and told you how to install them.

At the time of writing, no major mods have emerged that would add a ton of new content to Dragon’s Dogma 2. Most of the modifications are aimed at correcting the shortcomings of the original game: making the interface more convenient, changing the camera angle, adding the ability to purchase consumables in unlimited quantities, and so on. In addition, the first mods have appeared that improve graphical optimization.

Mod for AMD owners

If your computer has an AMD video card, pay attention to the modification “AMD FSR 3 Support”. To install, copy the files with it to the folder with Dragon’s Dogma 2. First you need to start the game, open the graphics settings and activate the TAA option.

Mod to increase FPS

To increase the number of frames (FPS) while visiting cities, use the adjustment DD2 CPU Priority – Free Fps at City and Towns. Unzip the archive, run the file and select the Run function. Once completed, you will need to restart your computer.

If this method doesn’t help, you can take more drastic measures and remove all NPCs around you. After this, the load on the processor is guaranteed to decrease. The No NPC mod is launched using a regular modification manager.

Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis – the ability to change the appearance and parameters of the character at the very beginning of the passage

Some players have encountered an unexpected difficulty: starting a new character in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is not that easy. And your height and weight parameters directly affect your characteristics. You can change them with the help of the book “The Art of Metamorphosis”. With this mod you can buy it from Melv of Wernworth, one of the first sellers you encounter along the way.

Another nude mod that only works while swimming. After installation you can see completely naked girls in the hot springs.

Better user interface. Colorful map icons – improved interface

Do not be afraid of excess weight – increase the acceptable weight

Adds a Ring of Accumulation to the game, increasing the maximum weight you can carry by a hundred times. The item can be purchased from merchants at the beginning of the passage.

Enemy HP and Damage Increase – Increases enemies health bar

This hardcore mod should appeal to those who found the original game too easy. It increases the difficulty by giving extra health points to local mobs and bosses. Other features remain the same, so battles will be more intense. If desired, you can further increase the damage of all mobs.

There’s something annoying about Dragon’s Dogma 2, where unhired pawns come to you and offer their services. After installing the Stop Selling Yourself tweak, potential allies will no longer ask to be hired. But you can always start a dialogue with them and invite them to the team.

Dragonsplague Cure – treating dragon plague at the touch of a button

The Dragon Plague is one of the most unremarkable mechanics in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and one that took many players by surprise. There’s no cure for it – if a pawn gets sick, you’ll have to kill it so it doesn’t ruin your passage. We talked more about the plague in a separate guide. The Dragonsplague Cure mod allows you to heal by pressing a hotkey.

Functional pawns. Guild and Storage – extended pawn functionality
