As promised, the first patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/u><\/a> is live, and not only does it fix a decent number of problems, it also brings some swanky new duds to the game that you might find familiar.<\/p>\n

The new outfit was released to mark the Mass Effect-celebratin’ N7 Day, which was “quieter<\/a>” this year, largely because of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. You can snag it from a chest that will appear next to the Lighthouse workshop after Harding’s “Singing Blade” is complete\u2014after the patch is installed, naturally.<\/p>\n

I won’t lie, I can’t say the outfit is actually “familiar” in the sense that I look at it and immediately think Mass Effect. Looks more Assassin’s Creed-like to me, something Ezio might put on if he decided he was tired of all the sneaking and parkour, and wanted to just tank out for a while. It does carry on what I suppose we can now call a tradition, though: Back in 2010, Mass Effect 2 got some very swish Blood Dragon armor based on Dragon Age: Origins, which had launched just a few months earlier.<\/p>\n

There was definitely no confusion about this armor’s origins.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the meat of the matter is the patch<\/u><\/a>, which makes no major gameplay changes but address a few dozen bugs and balance issues: “The Dalish elf in the Unwanted Guests quest is now an actual elf” seems like an important fix for a character who is supposed to be an elf, but for me the highlight has to be “NPC necks no longer grow unexpectedly.”<\/p>\n

With this first patch out the door, EA said it will “be supporting the game with additional patches in the future to help make your playing experience even better.” There’s no indication as to when it expects the next update to arrive, though, so for now, if you’re having issues, hopefully this will help. The full patch notes are below.<\/p>\n
