Instructions (and PDF) for changing the difficulty of an in-progress Story game.

Permissions and credits
I couldn't find instructions anywhere for how to change the difficulty of an in-progress Story game, but it was surprisingly easy if you have NorByte's Export Tool. (Huge thanks to NorByte for working on that.)

The brief instructions are below, but you can download the zip for more details.

  • Create a new save point in Divinity Original Sin 2 with a name that’s easy to recognize.
  • Download NorByte's ExportTool:

    Note: The AWS server was slow when I downloaded it, but it does eventually download if you retry/resume enough times.
  • WIth the ExportTool: extract the contents of your save's .lsv file.
  • WIth the ExportTool: convert the meta.lsf to meta.lsx.
  • Use a text editor to change the Difficulty entry in meta.lsx to a new number.
  • WIth the ExportTool: convert the meta.lsx back to meta.lsf.
  • WIth the ExportTool: compress the save's contents back into an .lsv file.
  • Replace your existing .lsv file with the new one you created.
