If you're as fussy as me and don't like the presence of the ghost in the Sisters mod, check this out: I use it, without any issues.

Take them into the Sunward Isle for thematic overload! Now you build a cool 'Eastern' thematic-team with the Wanderer, the Sisters or the Monk, the Grove Tender, and the Falconer.

Added Marvin Seo's Falconer and Sisters and related files.

I hope you like it!ĭisclaimer: I'm constantly experimenting with mods for Darkest Dungeon and the contents of this collection may change at any time (typically in the form of newly added class mods, or the removal of class mods that I don't think fit well after testing them out for a period of time). Well, I've tried to put a good amount of thought into this collection. I haven't yet settled on the 'perfect' Musketeer overhaul, so I use the one in this collection for now. This is to differentiate her from the Arbalest. The only exception to this is the Musketeer for which there is an overhaul selected. I'd rather keep to the spirit of their original design and fill in the gameplay gaps with the clever mechanics of custom classes. Lastly, there are no class overhaul mods in this collection for the original cast. You should decide for yourself if the classes that I reject belong in your game. I believe that should mainly be the niche of the Abomination. Currently, I generally disfavor transformation classes.

You'll also notice a lack of Marvin Seo's mods as I generally think they're outdated or too weak (the Falconer might be the only one I'd recommend). I was initially resistant towards undead classes as well, but since you can make a thematically appropriate party with the four I include, I'm currently onboard. the Wretch, the Voivode, the Rudiment, the Duchess, the Lamia, the Bloat, etc.). Classes that don't really feel like they 'belong' in parties amongst the other heroes are also not part of this collection (e.g. I'm looking for mostly 'unique' experiences.īecause of how much of a stickler I can be towards adhering to the style of the original cast, fantastic class mods like Saw Hunter (art is too clean), the Bogatyr (far too detailed and colorful), or the Illuminator (heavily stylized) don't make the cut. It's too distracting to pair a class that's a re-skin of the Hellion with an actual Hellion and watch them both animate the same way. If a class is a re-skin of an original class, they're rejected too. This collection is strictly a no-eyeball zone.

Obviously, all 'anime' style class mods fail as a result.

Accordingly, the first question I ask is 'does this class fit with the original cast?' If a class mod doesn't have the 'rough' and 'heavily-stroked' artwork of the original cast, they're rejected. I strongly feel that fidelity to that style is crucial to creating cohesive parties. Darkest Dungeon is a heavily stylized game. The classes in this collection are ones that I think are most cohesive with the existing Darkest Dungeon aesthetic. I freely acknowledge that I am exceedingly particular about class mods.

Class mods (and content related to specific classes like the class' trinkets and districts).Ĭlass selection is definitely the most carefully curated portion of my collection.

Aesthetic improvement mods (sound and visual).

Otherwise, I've placed mods within 'logical' groupings, as follows (from top to bottom): In general, the load-order is arranged as required by the mod. I will make adjustments where appropriate.

If you come across any obvious flaws in the ordering, please feel free to mention that in the comments below. I've had no issues with the arrangement thus far. The mods are in working load-order to the best of my knowledge. That's why I picked 'Better Nomad Wagon (no CC)' so that players would be incentivized to visit the Court for a trinket rather than just buy it outright, and so on.

Whilst mods like the various hamlet upgrades may or improved trinkets make the game easier, I opted to choose versions that wouldn't simplify the challenge dramatically. It also aims to strike a fun albeit challenging gameplay balance. As such, I recommend you use this collection for subsequent playthroughs rather than your first. This collection adds significant new content, in working load-oder, to the game in the form of additional zones, monsters, and classes.
