Dragon Age: The Veilguard Modders Introduce Baldur’s Gate 3 Tattoos, Letting You Keep Lae’zel’s Unique Charm Close By

Dragon Age: The Veilguard invites you into a world where you embark on epic quests with a group of, let’s face it, eccentric companions. While it’s reminiscent of Baldur’s Gate 3—a game where you do something quite similar—it offers its own unique twist. Now, thanks to a creative modder, you can bridge these two universes by adding some facial ink to your character, Rook.

Rest assured, this is far less tacky than the questionable alterations some modders have tried on Solas’ face. Let’s be real, having cryptic symbols tattooed across your forehead always seems like a good idea, right?

Meet ShadyKnight, the modder who’s taken on the task of bringing the tattoo aesthetics from BG3 into The Veilguard. They’ve aptly named their mod “Astarion Would Be Proud,” and as they put it, “This mod replaces almost all of the default tattoos with those from BG3. It’s not flawless yet, but I’m pleased enough to share it.” Sounds promising, doesn’t it?

All the classics are here: from face paint reminiscent of children’s parties to intimidating neck scrawls, and even chin designs that suggest a dab of stylish messiness. Imagine three little birds on your cheek granting you an air of familiarity with certain creatures. There’s even something for those who fancy a touch of clown flair.

Whatever you choose, these tattoos are sure to be a quirky reminder of the adventures you’ve survived in BG3. Picture this: you’re deep in a heartfelt chat with one of Veilguard’s charmingly endearing party members, and suddenly, your mind flashes back to Astarion making a snide remark in a flirting spree, or when Lae’zel set the whole camp ablaze in a passionate frenzy.

In other Veilguard updates, the latest patch just dropped. While not monumental, it does improve the overall experience with some handy quality-of-life features for the photo mode and user interface. There are also fixes for quirks like “the odd facial expression when Rook first meets Emmrich.” I must admit, I’m a bit disappointed by that one; it probably provided some unexpected comic relief.
