Step 1: New Project - What type of project do I need?
- Campaign: You want to create an entire story, with levels and fights and dialogues, and a lot of scripting.

- Story mod: You want to change or add to the Divinity Original Sin 2 story code.
Step 2: Load or Create Level
- Choose Level: Load an existing level in your project or in the campaign

FAQ: Why can I not...
- Add talents to the game?
- Talents are coded in C++. They usually override or change the gameplay rules in such a unique way, that it's not viable to create reusable templates and make them data driven.
- Change all sounds in the game?
- We use Wwise and sounds have to be added and processed in Wwise.
- Mod the UI?
