BioWare Unveils Complimentary Dragon Age: The Veilguard Character Creator Tool

BioWare had quite the party on Wednesday in honor of Dragon Age Day, rolling out an exciting new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard along with a fresh stand-alone character creator. Now, players can dive deep into customizing their Rook’s appearance without needing to purchase the entire game upfront. Should they decide to take the plunge, however, their bespoke character can be seamlessly transferred into the full version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

What’s fantastic about this new character creator is that there’s no timer ticking away. If you’re one of those RPG fans who enjoys meticulously crafting every aspect of your virtual persona, you’ll have unlimited time to do so. The free character creator for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is ready for you on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

For dedicated followers of the series, BioWare added an extra sprinkle of magic for Dragon Age Day on Wednesday. If you own Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you can now deck out your Rook with armor, body paint, and the iconic “nose blood smear” from Dragon Age 2’s protagonist, Hawke. These delightful freebies can be snagged at the Lighthouse after you’ve installed the latest patch and wrapped up “The Singing Blade” mission. Interested in more specifics about patch 4 for Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Head over to the game’s official site for all the details.

In recent years, character customization in games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard has become a massive draw, much like what we’ve seen with titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring. Some developers, like Capcom, have really catered to customization buffs by offering pre-release options in games like Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds.

With any luck, when the next Mass Effect installment rolls around, BioWare might take a leaf out of Capcom’s book, allowing us to perfect our commanders well before the full game hits the shelves.
