In the wake of Dragon Age Day, a new patch is available for BioWare’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It adds a Hawke’s outfit alongside his body and face paint from Dragon Age 2 and two new Qunari lineage complexions to the character creator.
The patch also adds a setting to turn off Bloom and a Hide/Show UI option when pausing on consoles. PC players also get a Take Photo button when paused, allowing for screenshots during cinematics and dialogue exchanges. There are also fixes for several issues, including one that prevented certain PC saves from loading.
If you saw two Neves during the “Fire and Ice” quest and had trouble following the spirit guides in “The Warden Vault,” those should no longer occur. Your Ultimate also won’t swap to the default anymore.
Check out the full patch notes below. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. You can read our review, where we gave it a 7 out of 10.
