Monsters will still find a way to block your path through road barricades and unavoidable locations, and the stagecoach itself brings with it new layers of management, demanding that you keep its wheels and carriage intact lest you break down and fall victim to the creatures of the roadside.Īnd while you’re fighting for your life, keeping a close eye on your party’s health, another gear is spinning in subtle synchronicity: the stress system. There’s a high level of incidental detail visible if you take the time to scope out the roadside, and you’ll find unique locations in each region that grant each their own mechanical and visual identity.ĭon’t think that traveling in the relative comfort of a stagecoach will dull the edge of the game’s difficulty, however. It also lets Red Hook Studios flex their worldbuilding muscles by crafting entire regions as opposed to just additional series’ of dank corridors. Their art files are somewhere else but if you dig around enough you can find them.This change adds a more dynamic feel to the experience overall, letting you manually steer your stagecoach to collect items on the road, and make decisions at key points along each region’s branching path: paths which, when viewed from above via the in-game map, bear a striking resemblance to a certain Spire you may have Slain in your time. Monster & enemy art is much harder to find because it ahs so many subfolders but I think it's something like Steam/steamapps/common/DarkestDungeon/monsters and then there's a ton of subfolders for all of them. You'll note that the hero's Guild Header art is not in the ABCD folders but is loose within the hero's main folder. Open one of those four folders and you'll find all the character art for that hero. Each of these is one of the hero's colour palettes. After that you'll find a set of 4 folders named after the hero class ending in _A, _B, _C or _D. Icons_equip is the weapon & armour icons that youi'll see displayed in the blacksmith & on the character sheet representing the level of a hero's equipment.

That's the atlas & skel files which control the way the art looks in game and you can't change them very much.įx is visual effects keyed to the use of certain skills.

Inside that folder you'll see some loose files and a handful of folders.

Go into the game's heroes folder then open the apropriate subfolder for a particular hero (they'll all have names like crusader or grave_robber, fairly easy to find).
