- Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s character creator now has a free standalone application
- BioWare also celebrated Dragon Age Day with a new Veilguard patch
- Players can claim free cosmetics based on Dragon Age 2‘s protagonist, Hawke
BioWare has released a standalone version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s character creator alongside the game’s latest patch.
In celebration of Dragon Age Day, the developer has announced that a free version of The Veilguard‘s impressive character creator is now available to download as a separate application on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
“For the folks who have yet to jump into Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you can now create a Rook before buying the full game and transfer your character over, as long as you’re on the same platform,” a post explained.
Alongside the character creator, The Veilguard has also received its latest software update, as well as free Dragon Age Day goodies.
With Patch 4, players will be able to boot up their game and claim the iconic armor, body paint, and nose blood smear of Dragon Age 2‘s protagonist, Hawke. These cosmetics will be permanently available in the in-game wardrobe and can be found in the Lighthouse’s courtyard.
As for the specifics of Patch 4, BioWare has also added two new complexions of the Qunari in the character creation and introduced a bunch of new quality-of-life improvements.
A new option to take screenshots on the pause menu during conversations and cinematics has also been added on PC, while a “Hide/Show UI” button on the pause screen has been added for console users. You can check out the full patch notes below.
