Detailed Customization Options:
Facial Customization:
- Each aspect of Rook's face, such as the forehead, eyebrows, jaw, chin, scalp, and cheeks, can be adjusted using sliders. Players can tweak the size of the nose bridge, iris color, and even bloodshot eyes. Ear size and depth can also be customized, allowing for detailed and unique character appearances.
Makeup Options:
- Over 30 makeup options are available, including gloss, blush, eyeliner, and more, offering players further opportunities to personalize their character’s look.
Voice Customization:
- Players can choose between two voice types—English and American—with both male and female options available. Additionally, a voice pitch changer allows for further voice customization.
Lighting Settings:
- Before finalizing the character design, players can use lighting settings to see how their character will appear in-game under various conditions.
In-Game Customization:
If players are unsatisfied with Rook's appearance during gameplay, they can modify it using the Transformation Mirror at The Lighthouse. However, faction and ancestry changes are not allowed, likely due to their significant impact on the storyline.
Gameplay Focus:
Unlike previous semi-open world entries in the Dragon Age series, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be a mission-based game, shifting the focus towards structured gameplay and narrative-driven missions.
This detailed customization system in Dragon Age: The Veilguard showcases BioWare's commitment to providing players with deep personalization options, enhancing immersion and player connection with their characters.
