Game uses Techland's Chrome Engine with DX10 support. Game seriously lacks advanced graphics options and even after the patches still has lots of bugs. But due to aspiring players and modders there are a lot of user-created fixes available.

Game Settings and Saves Location

Main file with a lot of things available to change 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dead island\DI\Data0.pak
  • To open .pak files you can use any archive program like WinRAR or 7-Zip

In that archive go to Data/Skills/ and extract default_levels.xml

Here's how to apply changes:

  1. Extract file you want to change (In this case default_levels.xml)
  2. Locate your Dead Island folder in your user's documents folder
  3. Create "Data" folder and "Skills" subfolder
  4. Place the default_levels.xml in the skills sub folder. Open the file, edit away.
