The fourth Veilguard patch makes some changes to photo mode and fixes another batch of bugs.
Just in time for Dragon Age Day—D4, DA, get it?—BioWare has rolled out a new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard that makes numerous bug fixes, tweaks the game’s photo mode, and adds Hawke’s „iconic outfit“ from Dragon Age 2 as a new cosmetic. It’s also put out a new standalone character creator, enabling the creation of your own personal Rook even if you don’t own the game—which can then be imported into The Veilguard when you’re done.
The new Veilguard character creator is available as a free download from the Veilguard store pages on Steam, Epic, and EA. I was going to give it a try but it’s a 14GB download, which to me seems a little excessive for a character creator. More practically, it would take me hours to download (my internet is not good) which doesn’t strike me as a wise expenditure of time for something I’m going to horse around with for five minutes. So, just watch this video instead:
EA also dropped some Dragon Age: The Veilguard stats today, revealing how players rolled with some of the big in-game decisions. Most of it won’t mean much if you haven’t played the game, stuff like „Top 3 companions chosen to stay behind for the counter attack“, but if you have—or if you plan to—be aware that there are some spoilers:
Back to the patch: The headline change in this update is the addition of Hawke’s Dragon Age 2 duds, including armor, body paint, and face paint. For those with big horns, there are also two new Qunari complexions to choose from.
Another notable change in the patch is actually a reversion of one made in the previous patch, which added a line on the screen indicating the location of screenshots whenever one was taken through Veilguard’s photo mode. That’s now been removed „due to a safety concern brought to us by some content creators“, the patch notes state, presumably related to the directory structure display, which would include the person’s Windows username.
