Sure, Dragon Age: The Veilguard wasn’t the most well-received RPG of the year, with countless bugs, glitches, soft locks, and odd design choices, but it’s still a viable popcorn game. At least it’s becoming a popcorn game, thanks to numerous updates from BioWare. Here’s a look at Dragon Age: The Veilguard patch 4, which fixes Rook’s face, adds new outfits, and more!
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Patch 4 Full Patch Notes
Alongside numerous bug fixes and quality of life improvements, Dragon Age: The Veilguard patch 4 includes a handful of new content, including Hawk’s iconic outfit from Dragon Age 2 and a few new complexions for Qunari characters. It’s all relatively minor overall, though the many bug fixes that improve quest stability are most welcome!
New Content:
- Dragon Age 2 Hawke’s Iconic Outfit
- Armor
- Body Paint
- Face Paint
- Qunari Complexions
- Two new complexions for the Qunari lineage
Quality of Life Changes:
- In Patch 3, we introduced a line on screen showing where a Photo Mode screenshot was saved. In Patch 4, we are reverting that change due to a safety concern brought to us by some content creators. PC players can find their Photo Mode screenshots in Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age: The Veilguard/screenshots
- Added an in-game Setting to turn off Bloom.
- Added a “Take Photo” button on the pause screen to take screenshots during conversations and cinematics on PC.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that prevented some saves from loading properly.
- Fixed an issue that was preventing the Frame Rate Limit setting from being saved.
- Fixed an issue with Rook’s face and hair changing drastically when a save is loaded.
- Fixed an issue with certain longer hairstyles that floated above Rook’s chest and shoulders.

- Fixed a rare issue where Emmrich did not lead Rook to the next task in his recruitment Where the Dead Must Go quest.
- Adjusted the spirit guides in The Warden Vault quest.

- Fixed an issue that caused Achievement Progress to reset when a new Rook was created. This will not restore Achievement Progress that was overwritten, but your Rooks will no longer compete with each other for who can kill more High Dragons.
- Fixed an issue with the camera in The Demon’s Bargain quest when playing on an HDD.
- Fixed an issue with the camera in the Sea of Blood quest if Rook backtracked too far.
- Fixed two instances where Viago was clearly talking to Rook but was too absorbed by Teia’s beauty and staring at her instead.
