BioWare had a bundle of surprises to reveal during Wednesday’s Dragon Age Day celebrations. They released a substantial new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, along with an exciting stand-alone character creator for players to sink their teeth into. This nifty addition lets players spend endless hours perfecting their Rook’s appearance without needing to purchase the full game. And for those who do decide to grab the game later, there’s good news: you can effortlessly bring your custom-crafted character into the full version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
What’s truly exciting is that there’s no ticking clock pressuring players to rush through this customization process. So, if you’re among those RPG aficionados who relish spending hours on end designing the perfect virtual person, then Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s free character creator is right up your alley. It’s available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, ready and waiting for you to dive in.
Adding to the celebration, BioWare delighted fans with something special on Dragon Age Day. For those who own Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there’s a nostalgic bonus. You can now deck out your Rook with the iconic armor, body paint, and “nose blood smear” of Hawke, the protagonist from Dragon Age 2. To snag these free cosmetics, all you need to do is head to the Lighthouse after downloading the latest patch and finishing the “The Singing Blade” mission. Further details about patch 4 can be found on the game’s official website.
Character creation in games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard has really become a huge draw for players in recent years. We’ve seen incredibly intricate customization tools in titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring. Some companies, like Capcom, are stepping up their game even further for fans of character creation. They’re offering pre-release customization access in upcoming games like Dragon’s Dogma 2 and next year’s Monster Hunter Wilds.
With any luck, by the time we get our hands on the next Mass Effect game, BioWare will have taken a page from Capcom’s playbook. Giving fans the chance to perfectly fine-tune their commanders ahead of the full game launch would certainly be a welcomed move.
