Inquisition Choices & World State: And

Learn how to customize your world state in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, including Inquisitor appearance, relationships, and the fate of the Inquisition based on your Dragon Age: Inquisition choices.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Dragon Age: The Veilguard and want to make sure your past choices from Dragon Age: Inquisition carry over? You've come to the right place! This guide will walk you through how to set up your world state right from the character creator.

When you first start a new game, you'll be customizing your character, the Rook. But don't forget, there's a whole section dedicated to defining how things ended up after Inquisition. You'll find this option on the “Finalize” screen, usually on the right side, labeled “PAST ADVENTURES: THE INQUISITION”. It's not super obvious, but pressing the / button lets you tweak things from the default settings.

If you skip this or just want to know what the game assumes, here are the default choices:

Honestly, the default settings lean into the elven lore, which makes sense given the story. But let's break down what you can actually change!

Customizing the Inquisitor

First up, you can customize the Inquisitor, the hero from the previous game. You can pick their race (human, elf, dwarf, or qunari), gender (male or female), and go wild with the cosmetic options. It’s a great chance to recreate your old Inquisitor or make someone new. Just a heads-up, you won't be picking their class, so it sounds like they might not have a huge gameplay role in The Veilguard.

Friendship and Romance

The companions in Dragon Age games are more than just followers; they have their own stories and relationships you can build. You can carry over your romance choices from Inquisition. Keep in mind, though, that not all characters are available to everyone. You’ll want to check their race and gender preferences if a specific romance is important to you. Here’s a quick rundown:

You can also decide if your Inquisitor was in a relationship with any of their companions.

The Fate of the Inquisition

After the events of Inquisition, the organization was pretty much disbanded because it became too powerful. You get to choose how that played out:

• Disbanded: The Inquisition was formally dissolved.
• Given to the Chantry: The Inquisition's forces were integrated into the Chantry.

This is mostly for flavor, but if you're roleplaying a devout follower of Andraste, handing things over to the Chantry might feel right. Plus, many companions had ties to the Chantry, so it could be a logical transition for them into leadership roles.

The Solas Decision

Solas's big reveal as the Dread Wolf and his role as an antagonist in The Veilguard was a huge moment at the end of Inquisition. This choice reflects your Inquisitor's reaction to his plans. You have two options:

• Vowed to stop Solas: Your Inquisitor is determined to stop Solas's schemes.
• Vowed to save Solas from himself: Your Inquisitor still believes there's a way to reach Solas and prevent him from making drastic choices.

Ultimately, this comes down to your roleplaying. Is your Inquisitor fed up with Solas's actions and the potential cost, or is their bond strong enough that they still want to save him?
