10 Best PC Mods, Ranked

Playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 according to how the developers intended it to be played is great and all, but customizing the game according to your wants and needs just feels amazing. Mods in games are an age-old tradition that has become a staple in gaming, particularly in the RPG space.

From small quality of life improvements that customize the DD2 experience more to your tastes, to game-breaking cheats that make you an in-game god, the modding community has it all. Whether you just want your experience to be a little bit better, or you’re looking to completely change the game, this list will help you find the best mods for your needs.

10 NPC’s Hairstyles For Arisen And Pawns

Fantasy Barbers Are Incredible

• Replace 3 vanilla hairstyles with new ones from in-game NPCs
• All hair physics remain intact

NPC’s Hairstyles For Arisen And Pawns is a very surface level mod that does exactly what the title implies. Once downloaded, you will be able to choose three new hairstyles, both for yourself and your pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2. The good news is that the new hair models don’t break the game physics and function like any other vanilla hairstyle. The bad news is that there are only three new hairstyles to choose from.

You can now get Ulrika’s, Wilhelmina’s, and Disa’s hairstyle in the 12, 54, and 27 hairstyle slot respectively. These are the only new hairstyles currently available, though new ones might be added with future updates to the mod.

9 Tattoos Pack

Add More Bling To Your Characters

• Add 66 new tattoos
• Replace the vanilla tattoos found in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Tattoos are a great way to express yourself and show the world your personality. This remains true in Dragon’s Dogma 2 as well, but the selection of tattoos you can get in the base game is somewhat limiting. With the Tattoos Pack mod, you’ll have 66 new tattoo styles to experiment with.

This way, you can customize your character to a much higher degree. Keep in mind that the tattoos of the base game aren’t included in this pack, though the selection in the pack itself is more than enough to make up for the lost choices.

8 Do Not Be Afraid Of Excess Weight

Why Bother With Physics?

• Increase the weight limit buff gained from the Ring Of Accrual to a ridiculous number
• Buff applies to any Ring of Accrual found in the game

One major aspect of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is weight management. You need to be careful when choosing things to pick up lest you encumber yourself and limit your mobility. For the loot goblins that plague the RPG realm, this is a major turn-off, but it makes sense from a game balance perspective.

Once you install the Do Not Be Afraid Of Excess Weight mod, you will be able to use the Ring Of Accrual to effectively remove the weight limit entirely. This will let you play the game the way you like without having to deal with the hassle of weight management. Feel free to hoard everything you find.

You’re A Chameleon, ‘Arry

• Lets you obtain the Art of Metamorphosis earlier in the game
• Buy it as many times as you want for a very low cost

One major detractor from all the great parts of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the microtransactions present in the game. Regardless of the fact that you don’t need to buy anything extra to play the game, the fact that there are any microtransactions in a game that costs $70 is outrageous. One of the things locked behind a paywall, with a scarce presence in the game itself, are rift crystals.

You need 500 of them to buy The Art of Metamorphosis, a book that lets you change your appearance. Getting these many crystals so early in the game is impossible, meaning you’ll only be able to change your appearance way later in the game. However, with the Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis, that’s no longer the case. This mod reduces the price of the Art of Metamorphosis and makes it available early on in the game.

6 Field Of View Increase

All Is Within My Sight

• Increase FOV of player according to set parameters
• Great for people experiencing motion sickness from this game

While having a low Field of View might make the game feel more immersive, it doesn’t come without its downsides. For people used to playing with a larger range of vision, and for people who experience motion sickness from having a smaller FOV, game developers should include an in-game option to increase your vision parameters.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Every Vocation, Ranked

Vocations determine the weapons, skills, armor, and overall play style of a character in Dragon’s Dogma 2; here are all ten vocations, ranked.

However, since the game devs won’t do it, the modding community will step up once more. With the Field of Vision Increase mod, players can modify how much they see in any given scenario. Users have reported that the mod seems to malfunction during combat as a fighter, where the camera pans back and the FOV decreases.

5 Better UI – Elements Icons

Make It Look Better

• Gives you more polished Element Icons
• Complementary mods from the same author change other in-game icons as well

One of the most important aspects of a game is how it looks. While the graphics of the game itself are certainly extremely important, the design of the game UI plays a big role in determining how the game is perceived as a whole. Some people like Dragon’s Dogma 2’s UI design, while others find it wanting.

Choosing the best weapons in any game is hard. We scoured the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 to present to you the best weapons available in the game.

That’s where Better UI comes in. Better UI – Elements Icons revamps the element icons of the game, but there are other mods by the same author that revamp vocation and item category icons as well, making a great alternative look for you to enjoy.

4 Fast Travel Pack

Why Walk When You Can Teleport?

• Adds x999 Elite & Explorer Camp Kit, Wakestones, Seeker’s Tokens and Ferrystones to the first shop in Melve
• Lets you fast travel as many times as you want without worrying about microtransactions

Fast traveling is an incredibly difficult endeavor in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2. Since exploration is a central part of the game’s themes and plays an important role in increasing the player’s strength, it makes sense to restrict the option from a design perspective. However, that doesn’t change the fact that it makes the game feel extremely restrictive and time-consuming.

Since there are ways to fast travel in the game that require a lot of hard to obtain resources, with many of said resources sold as DLCs, you shouldn’t feel any qualms getting the same resources from a mod when you want to just sit back and teleport across the lands at your leisure. The Fast Travel Pack lets you do exactly that. Don’t rely on it too much lest you ruin your experience, but there’s no harm in indulging every now and again.

3 Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLSS3 Enabler 01 – Puredark

Better Performance

• Enables DLSS3 in Dragon’s Dogma 2, drastically improving framerates
• Only compatible with Nvidia 4000 series GPUs

Having a powerful graphics card is something high-end PC owners are very proud of, but what’s the point of that card if you can’t use it to it’s full capabilities? For owners of Nvidia’s 4000 series GPUs, games not utilizing the full capabilities of their systems is a real issue, and that’s what this mod is here to solve.

Using Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLSS3 Enabler 01 – Puredark, players can enable DLSS3 technology, something that immediately enhances the framerate of the game you’re playing using AI technology, provided you have the right hardware to power it with. There are some kinks to be worked out in the mod, but it works most of the time and has immediate effects.

2 DD2 Save Manager

Your Game, Your Rules

• Lets you create save files in Dragon’s Dogma 2
• Infinite save slots you can load up the game from at any time

Not having save files you can return to is a great feature for players that want to experience the game in the moment and lose themselves in the immersion, but it can be a real hassle for anyone who isn’t hardcore into immersive gameplay. Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t give the player an option to choose whether they want to play on the hardcore, no save file mode, that’s the default mode and there’s no way to change it in-game.

However, the DD2 Save Manager lets you do exactly that. It remembers every instance the game saves itself at checkpoints, and gives you the option to reload from any of those checkpoints. This takes a big burden off of your shoulders, letting you enjoy the game without worrying too much about your choices.

1 Fluffy Mod Manager

Make Modding Easy Again

• Simplifies the modding process for newcomers and veterans alike
• It’s required by most mods for the game

The most important thing in modding is the compatibility of mods. The second most important thing in modding is the variety and quality of mods you can add. Fluffy Mod Manager makes it extremely easy to mod Dragon’s Dogma 2, making modding accessible without compromising on any of the features.

If you’re completely new to the modding scene, you don’t have to worry about editing .ini files or tinkering with any code, but if you’re a veteran and want to customize the experience, you can do that too! There’s something for everyone.
