You can even change your gender, name, and voice from the Mirror of Transformation. What you can’t do is alter your character’s class, faction, or background. Those decisions are permanent in Dragon Age: The Veilguard so make sure you’re 100% certain of the ones you choose.

How to change your armor appearance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Like many modern RPGs, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a transmog system. You can change the appearance of your weapons and armor at will so you don’t have to sacrifice style for stats.

To change your armor’s appearance, just head to your Wardrobe in the Lighthouse. Initially, the Wardrobe will be in Varric’s room but after you complete The Singing Blade story quest, it will move to your very own room.

Whenever you find a new piece of gear, you’ll unlock its appearance in the Wardrobe. There are also special appearances you can purchase from vendors that don’t correspond to any equipable gear.
