You can change your Dragon Age Veilguard appearance long after you’ve finished creating Rook, though there are certain aspects that can’t be changed. With so many features to pick and adjust, creating your perfect hero of Thedas inDragon Age The Veilguardcan be difficult, but thankfully, you’re not stuck with this look for the whole game, and you can even choose how Rook’s armor and weapons look. Here’s what you need to know about changing the appearance of your Dragon Age Veilguard character and how to change the appearance of your gear too.

How to change Rook’s appearance in Dragon Age Veilguard

You’ll be able tochange the look of your Rook as soon as you reach the Lighthousehub area of Dragon Age Veilguard with the quest “Shadows of Ancient Arlathan”. After you’re done talking to Varric in the infirmary, you can find aMirror of Transformationtucked in the south corner of this room which you can interact with to alter the following aspects of your character’s appearance:

Thankfully, you can change your character’s appearance as many times as you like and for free. However,you can’t changethese features for your Veilguard hero without starting an entirely new game:

Crucially, none of the character creation options affectDragon Age Veilguard romance, so you can pick whatever you want and won’t be locked out of getting closer with certain companions.

How to change the appearance of your armor and weapons in Dragon Age Veilguard

Dragon Age Veilguard also lets you change the appearance of your gear without affecting its stats, so you can maintain a cohesive style rather than wearing a terrible-looking-but-extremely-useful helmet. To do this, you need to head to the head to theWardrobe in the Lighthouse’s Meditation Chamber, which is unlocked a few hours in by progressing the main quest – if you have theDragon Age Veilguard Deluxe Edition rewards, the you can actually alter appearances using the big chest in theLighthouse infirmarytoo.

Open the Wardrobe, select your Main-Hand weapon (and Two-Handed weapon if you have one), Off-Hand item, Helm, Armor, or Casual Wear slot, and then choose an “Appearance” to override the look of your currently equipped gear in that slot. For example, if you’re wielding a sword as your Main-Hand weapon, you could change its appearance to look like an axe that you used previously. Here you can also choose when your character wears their helmet, if ever.

Note that you can also change the look of any of yourDragon Age Veilguard companions’ outfits and weapons too, though they have their own set Appearances that you must unlock by obtaining the relevant gear too.Just like some of thebest RPGs, Veilguard has a great character creation system, helped by the fact that you can change your looks later too.
