Need tochange appearanceinDragon Age: The Veilguard? Designing your Rook can be a significant undertaking, especially with a character creator as elaborate as this one. There are multiple race options, presets, and all sorts of sliders that’ll let you tweak every detail, from eye colour to “bulge size”.That said, it’s always easy to screw up making a new character. You might simply find when you load in that they don’t look quite the same as they did when you were making them, or decide that the elaborate face tattoo you picked out is a bit much. Thankfully, you can change appearance in The Veilguard quite early on, so here’s how to do it.Change appearance in Dragon Age: The VeilguardImage1of2You can access the Mirror of Transformation in the room with Varrick in the Lighthouse(Image credit: Bioware)The only things you can’t change are class, lineage, and backstory(Image credit: Bioware)To unlock the option to change appearance, you need tocomplete the prologue questwhich sees you stopping Solas from performing his ritual to destroy The Veil in Minrathous.
