Dragon Age offers a lot of customization options. In the character creator alone, there are hundreds of options to customize things like your playable character Rook’s hair, body type, facial appearance, and much more. There are also many armor options.
Companions have one armor slot, one ring slot, one accessory slot, and one weapon slot, while Rook has access to even more: a helmet, two weapon slots, a belt, an amulet slot, and two ring slots. A belt having its own slot may seem odd since it’s not a piece of armor people typically think of when outfitting an RPG warrior. However, the belt is an important facet of Rook’s kit. The better Rook’s belt, the more powerful his healing potions are, which are replenished by destroying green pots scattered around the world. But that’s not all, as higher-quality belts can trigger (Editor’s Note:proc is a term used as a shorter way of saying “programmed random occurrence”) additional effects like momentary invulnerability.
When creating your character, you can immediately preview the aspirational armors, which won’t play into Rook’s class until “mid- to late-game,” according to game director Corinne Busche. You can also toggle Rook’s starting gear and casual clothing on and off in the creator, which gives you a pretty good look at what Rook will look like in more casual cutscenes, in combat, and how he might appear later in your Veilguard journey. Busche tells me that much of Veilguard’s gear is customized for your Rook or his followers, meaning a piece of armor for a Warrior-class Rook likely won’t be in a chest for a Mage-class Rook. Along the same lines, armor designed for the Bellara Lutara companion can’t be used for another companion like Lace Harding.
In just a few hours, I watched Busche play the game as part of my visit to BioWare’s Edmonton office for our Game Informer As a cover, I see a lot of armor to collect in chests scattered around Arlathan Forest, for example, and elsewhere. Some of them are great, and some of them don’t quite suit my personal tastes. That’s just the way it goes in the RPG genre.
However, Busche told me that there is transmog in the game, and he calls it “robust.” What this means is that you can take the stats from one armor and apply them to another piece of armor. In other words, if you have a really cool piece of armor that you like and you find a new piece with better stats but you don’t want to give up the look of your current armor, you don’t have to. Transmog allows you to take the stats from that new armor and apply them to your current armor, giving you all the benefits while keeping the visual style you prefer.
Transmog isn’t just for Rook, you can also transmog your companions’ armor and other items. I can’t see how Veilguard’s transmog system works in-game, but just knowing it exists allows me to rest easy knowing my Rook will be as fashionable as possible while saving Thedas.
