Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn’t even every week previous, however the mods are coming in thick and quick. In these early days, the hottest on Nexus Mods revolve round efficiency enhancements on PC and numerous character presets, and there’s even one which strips the purple from the recreation to make it look extra like a darkish fantasy RPG.
Let’s begin with the latter. Vktrfly’s Dark Fantasy Look-Up Table (LUT) mod is a reshade that goals to take away the purple/magenta components from the recreation and give it “a darker, extra atmospheric look.”
Ever since BioWare unveiled The Veilguard gameplay, followers have debated its artwork type, with some lamenting the developer’s choice to go for a closely stylized, virtually cartoony look in comparison with the extra gritty, practical prior video games in the collection. The Veilguard, with its clean, purple-hued visuals, is actually at the reverse finish of the Dragon Age artwork type spectrum, with 2009’s Origins heavy on mud and blood-drenched medieval fantasy, and Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition occupying a spot someplace in-between.
However the hottest mod to date is ChemBoy1’s Anti-Stutter – Performance Enhancer – High CPU and Disk Priority – DATV mod, which allows excessive CPU and disk precedence for the Dragon Age: The Veilguard executable. This will help with efficiency on weaker CPUs and slower disks, and helps cut back stuttering on all CPU and disks, ChemBoy1 stated.
Additionally excessive on the most downloaded mods record is Nyctaginae’s preset and sliders for their Rook (Veilguard’s customizable most important character), Ayse de Riva, a feminine mage and elf Antivan Crow (“Based mostly on my OC of 15+ years, hope you want her!”).
Anticipate extra elaborate mods to launch as modders become familiar with The Veilguard. We’ve seen the likes of Larian and CD Projekt launch official mod instruments for Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Witcher 3 respectively, which have unlocked an explosion in every recreation’s modding scene. Maybe sooner or later down the line, BioWare will do the identical for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
And that is likely to be necessary in protecting the recreation alive, given BioWare has indicated it has no plans to launch DLC for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with the developer now turning its consideration to Mass Impact 5.
In the meantime, followers are busy digging into BioWare’s newest RPG after Dragon Age’s launch on Thursday, propelling it to new highs for an EA recreation on Steam. They’ve a lot to seek out even with out DLC — estimates on IGN sister site HowLongToBeat recommend that it will possibly take upwards of 88 hours to finish the most important story whereas doing sidequests.
