Summary

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is finally breaking the series curse of only having short hair options.
BioWare says it now has the technology to let us run around Thedas with long hair, adding more options than ever before.
We'll also be able to customise a range of body parts, which are separated from our character's gender.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age is beloved by many, but certainly not for its character creators. While there has always been a fair amount of physical attributes to customise, it's always been held back by the same limitation - the hair options.

In fact, all BioWare games are guilty of this. For so long, we've had about ten different variations of bald, and maybe a bob cut if we're lucky. Want long hair? Tough luck, a bun is the best you're going to get.

Video game romances shouldn't be about wish fulfilment, and they shou🍸ldn't remove a character's agency.

But finally, it looks like the devs have heard our pleas. According to a new preview from , 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard is going to have the most expansive character creator yet, including a range of hairstyles. And yes, it's already been confirmed that long hairstyles will be i🅘ncluded, as well as the ability to dye your hair unnatural c♎olours.

So why has it taken so long? Judging from the preview, it sounds like it was due to technical limitations. Art director Matt Rhodes is quoted as saying, "The technology has finally caught up to our ambition," so it seems they just couldn't get long hair to work with the physics in the older games.

Hair Options In Previous Dragon Age Games Have Often Disappointed Fans

In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2, we had a couple of hairstyles that were clearly supposed to be kinda long. Then, by the time of Inquisition, long hair was banned in Thedas (alongside healing spells, apparently) because there were zero options that even resembled long hair. You can choose to have a bun that looks like it might be hiding some luscious locks, but you'd still have to use your imagination.

But this isn't all that The Veilguard is set to improve on. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:As noted by our editor-in-chief Stacey 🌜Hen🅠ley during a preview, body parts can be customised individually, and are completely separated from your character's gender identity. We also now know that we'll be able to select pronouns, choosing from she/her, he/him, and they/them, much like we can in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield.

It's unclear if the character creator will be dropped ahead of release so we can make our Rooks ahead of time. If not, I think it's safe to assume what we'll all be doing come launch day.
