How to change appearance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Time for a change.
Dragon Age games are often long, taking place over many in-game years, so knowing how to change your appearance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is well worth it.
As you progress, getting a fresh haircut, new tattoos or a beard trim will help showcase your character's growth and development.
You can tinker with the lighting during the character creator, but it's still different from seeing your character in action, so you may even want to change this up once you see your character in the wild scrapping enemies.
Below, we've outlined how to change your character's appearance and some characteristics you can't change once you begin your adventure.
How to change appearance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard explained
Fortunately, changing your appearance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is incredibly simple: all you need to do is go to the game's hub, The Lighthouse. Once in the Lighthouse, go to the room with beds where you find Varric kipping, where you wake up when first arriving in the area after the prologue.
You will need to complete the prologue before accessing the character creator.
From here, go to the mirror in the back right corner (Mirror of Transformation) and hit the button prompt to enter the character creator again.
Here, you can tinker with your character as much as you want and as frequently as you like. However, certain things cannot be changed after starting a fresh playthrough.
