Dragon Age: The Veilguard – How to customize the Inquisitor (appearance, history)

The Inquisitor returns as an important NPC in Dragon Age: The Veil Guard. They were the main characters of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and your previous choices impacted the narrative. This could help boost Rook, Harding, and Varric’s motivations as they begin their quest. It may even change some aspects of the ending, especially with regard to the Inquisitor’s relationship with the main antagonist, Solas. Did they part as enemies, friends or even lovers?

Although the Inquisitor’s story has some impact on the story, Rook is still the star of Dragon Age: The Veil Guard. Although you’ll be constantly adventuring with Rook, the Inquisitor will pop in and out of the narrative. You should only interact with the Inquisitor for about an hour, both in cutscenes and by speaking to him in the field. Still, they can give a lot of insight into who Solas really is and his plans.

How to remake the Inquisitor

You will need to redo them manually

Due to the gap of a decade since Dragon Age: InquisitionThere is no direct way to import your old save data. Dragon Age: The Veil Guard is also not compatible with the Dragon Age: Maintain websitewhich was previously used to store options through the franchise. Instead, you must fully customize the Inquisitor during character creation.

Race, gender and voice of the inquisitor

The character creator is not the same as the previous game. This means you may not have access to all the old hairstyles and facial features found in Dragon Age: Inquisition. There are approaches that still serve the same purpose.

The Inquisitor can be a Human, Elf, Dwarfor Qunari. They can also be male or female, with a voice with a corresponding American or British accent. As it has been over a decade, there is no way to choose a class for the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: The Veil Guard. They will not engage in combat or use any skills.

How the Inquisitor impacts Veilguard’s story

Certain choices change chart elements

Although you can’t make all the nuanced choices Dragon Age Inquisitionyou can determine three big decisions from the last game: who they dated, what happened to the Inquisitionand as they and Solas leave. All of this can change dialogue, mood, and various scenes.

Past romance options

You can choose who the Inquisitor romances during the adventure. This has the biggest impact on returning characters such as Dorian Pavus and Solesbut others are mentioned through dialogue in Dragon Age: The Veil Guard. Love interest is still restricted by gender and race preferences.

State of the Inquisition

This next part affects many characters, not just the Inquisitor’s direction: the Inquisition was officially dissolvedor left to defend southern Thedas? This may change the opening segments of the Dragon Age: The Veil Guard if Lace Harding and Varric are still connected to the group. Additionally, news about southern countries like Orlais and Ferelden will be different. Typically, they are safer, but they may also have become confusing in some places.

YouTuber ScreenBro PSNU found a standard Elvan Inquisitor. This version chose to dissolve the Inquisition after the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition – Invader. Although it was a difficult choice, they could still keep their friends in close contact.

Relationship with Solas

The final but most important impact is whether the Inquisitor promised rescue or kill Solas. This changes their attitude a bit, making them more cordial if they are trying to save their former ally. You can even change the ending Dragon Age: The Veil Guard. In the best ending, the Inquisitor and Sola may even reunite after years apart.
