Dragon Age offers a plethora of customization options that allow players to create a unique gaming experience. The character creator alone provides countless choices to personalize aspects such as hair, body type, and even the appearance of the playable character, Rook. Additionally, there is a wide variety of armor options to further tailor your gameplay.
Companions and Rook each have specific slots for different gear, including armor, rings, accessories, and weapons. Rook, in particular, has access to multiple slots for items such as helmets, belts, amulets, and rings. While the inclusion of a belt slot may seem unusual, it plays a vital role in enhancing Rook’s abilities. A high-quality belt can increase the potency of healing potions, crucial for survival in the game’s world. Moreover, superior belts can trigger additional effects like momentary invulnerability.
During character creation, players can preview aspirational armors that will become available in the mid-to-late game. The customization options extend to Rook’s starting gear and casual wear, providing insight into their appearance throughout the Veilguard journey. Director Corinne Busche highlights that much of the gear in Veilguard is tailored to each character, ensuring a unique experience based on their class and progression.
Transmogrification, or transmog, is a prominent feature in the game, allowing players to retain their preferred aesthetic while benefiting from improved stats. This system applies to both Rook and companions, offering flexibility in outfitting your team for success. The ability to customize gear adds a layer of personalization to the gameplay experience, ensuring your characters look as stylish as they are powerful.
