by Nat Smith · PCGamesNWhat are the best mods in Dragon Age The Veilguard? Whether you’re plagued by performance issues or struggling to see through the bloom, mod creators are already turning their hand to improve Bioware’s fantasy RPG, and we’ve already got a selection of the best to install.
However, our top mods for Dragon Age The Veilguard don’t just improve the RPG game’s visual performance. They also include custom character presets of popular characters across media, letting you complete Dragon Age Veilguard quests while wearing a familiar face. No matter your preference for custom content, there’s a mod here to suit almost everyone’s taste – just remember to follow the instructions to install them correctly.
Here are the best Dragon Age Veilguard mods:
Anti-Stutter
The Dragon Age Veilguard system requirements are fairly forgiving on mid-budget PC hardware, but the fantasy game is still subject to occasional performance issues. The Anti-Stutter mod remedies all that with a straightforward registry edit that enables high CPU and disk priority for Veilguard.
While the effects are negligible on your frame rate, this performance enhancer is a quick fix to resolve visual and audio stuttering. This mod might not work for everyone, but it’s worth a shot if you need a quick stutter fix alongside the Dragon Age Veilguard best settings.
Bloom Begone
The trend of excessive bloom in videogames might be well past its peak, but it’s made a sudden resurgence in The Veilguard. While some players might love the dreamy aesthetic bloom lighting brings to Thedas, this post-processing effect can induce eye strain and headaches.
The BloomBeGone mod brings welcome clarity, disabling the bloom effect altogether. BloomBeGone might be enough on its own, but if you find everything still a little too sharp for comfort, you might prefer the Clear View Reshade mod instead.
Dark Fantasy LUT
Dragon Age Veilguard includes a barrage of post-processing effects to capture its unique aesthetic, but the purple filter is one of the most pervasive. If you miss the muted realism of Dragon Age Origins, the Dark Fantasy LUT mod is your answer. This reshade mod removes the purple and magenta tones, applying a more dark, moody atmosphere that should appeal to longtime fans of the series.
Toggle User Interface
We’ve got a lot of mileage out of Veilguard’s photo mode, but any amateur videogame photographer knows that some of the best screenshots are candid gameplay snaps. To that end, the Toggle User Interface mod does exactly what it says on the tin. It removes all HUD and UI assets so you can capture Rook, their Dragon Age Veilguard companions, and the general landscape without pausing gameplay. It even works in the main menu and character creation, so there’s no excuse not to show off your tailor-made Veilguard protagonist.
Link – Breath of the Taash
Character creators are a beacon of personal expression, but they’re also a golden opportunity for a makeshift crossover of your favorite RPG games. The Link – Breath of the Taash mod is one for the Zelda superfans, letting you transport Nintendo’s Hyrulian warrior into Thedas without the hours spent fiddling with color wheels and sliders. It’s an impressive interpretation of Link as he appears in Breath of the Wild, though be prepared for this version to be chattier than all of his canon counterparts put together.
Cassandra Dimitrescu
What do Dragon Age The Veilguard and Resident Evil Village have in common? With the Cassandra Dimitrescu mod installed, it’s a vampiric middle child with killer lipstick. This preset character looks like she’s just stepped out of Capcom’s horror game, which should please anyone who, to quote the mod’s creator, prefers “female protagonists to look like they are ready to step on you.” Since vampires aren’t a viable Dragon Age Veilguard race, Cassandra’s fangs are filed down to size – but when it comes to a Dragon Age Veilguard romance, she might still be partial to a bite.
What a Smashing Preset
We can’t include Veilguard character presets in this mods guide without getting a little silly with it. The What a Smashing Preset mod leaves saving the world in the capable hands of Nigel Thornberry, of The Wild Thornberrys and internet meme culture fame. While it doesn’t come with Tim Curry voice lines, this mod more than lives up to its name. Smashing!
