Pillars of Eternity 2

Enhanced User Interface

The Enhanced User Interface mod aims to improve the standard user interface by highlighting gameplay mechanics such as afflictions and inspirations, damage and defense keywords and much more. More than 1000 ability, item or UI entries have been modified to enhance the user experience and to make some fairly opaque game mechanics a bit more transparent.

Installation

1. Manually download the mod.
2. Go to your Pillars of Eternity II\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\ directory.
3. Look for (or create) an override folder in your PillarsOfEternityII_Data directory. The correct file path should look like this: Pillars of Eternity II\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\override
4. Extract the PoE2-EnhancedUserInterface folder into your override folder (folder name may vary depending on what mod version you picked).
5. Make sure that you don't need to download any additional files (only relevant if you're playing in German, Korean or Russian, see dependencies down below).
6. All done, you can now safely launch the game.

Once extracted the folder structure should look like this:

Pillars of Eternity II
└─ PillarsOfEternityII_Data
   └─ override
      └─ PoE2-EnhancedUserInterface
         ├─ localized
         │  └─ en
