| This section is currently being updated as we progress through Dragon Age: The Veilguard! |
At the start of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you first need to create your player character, Rook. After you have created your character, note that your lineage, class, faction, identity, and the Inquisitor's background (past adventures) cannot be changed anymore.
However, you can still edit Rook's appearance using the Mirror of Transformation. You can also change the game's difficulty anytime unless you choose the Nightmare Difficulty!

>This choice decides if Neve will work with the Threads or not, affecting the outcome of her final companion quest. Working with the Threads locks her into a path of protecting Dock Town, while refusing the deal will allow players to choose a path for Neve. Not true. I saved Minratous, worked with the Threads, tell her that she should protect the city during A Clear Mind quest and still was able to pick a path of hope.
