While the mismatched armor sets of early-game characters have their own charm, many players prefer a more cohesive look for their heroes. The addition of transmog in The Veilguard addresses this long-standing desire, allowing players to create the perfect look for their character without compromising on gameplay.
This feature is just one of many that fans are eagerly anticipating in the upcoming game. As BioWare and EA continue to reveal more about their latest project, it’s clear that they’re listening to player feedback and working to create an experience that combines the best of modern RPG design with the rich lore and storytelling the series is known for.
