The Inquisitor returns as a major NPC inDragon Age: The Veilguard. They were the main characters ofDragon Age: Inquisition,and their previous choices impacted the narrative. This can help drive the motivations of Rook, Harding, and Varric as they begin their quest. It can even alter some aspects of the ending, especially regarding the Inquisitor’s relationship with the main antagonist, Solas. Did they part as enemies, friends, or even lovers?
While the Inquisitor’s history has some impact on the story, Rook is still the star ofDragon Age: The Veilguard. While you will be venturing with Rook constantly, the Inquisitor will weave in and out of the narrative. You should only expect to interact with the Inquisitor for around an hour, both in cutscenes and speaking to them on the field. Still, they can give a lot ofinsight on who Solas really isand his plans.
How To Remake The Inquisitor
You Will Need To Manually Remake Them
Due to the decade-long gap sinceDragon Age: Inquisition, there is no direct means of importing your old save data.Dragon Age: The Veilguardis also not compatible with theDragon Age: Keep website, which was previously used to store choices through the franchise.Instead, you must fully customize the Inquisitor during character creation.
The option to edit the Inquisitor appears after finalizing Rook. While themain character can be respeccedand changed, if you opt out of editing the Inquisitor, they will be in their default state for the whole game. You must restart theDragon Age: The Veilguardcampaign to remake the Inquisitor.
Inquisitor Race, Gender, And Voice
The character creator is not one-to-one with the previous game. This means you may not have access to all the old hairstyles and facial features found inDragon Age: Inquisition. There are approximations that still serve the same purpose.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has A Point Of No Return
The newest Dragon Age game features a point in the game that softlocks all other quests, but players must prepare their party before beginning.
The Inquisitor can be aHuman,Elf,Dwarf, orQunari. They can also be male or female, given an American or British accented voice to match. Because over a decade has passed, there is no means to pick a class for the Inquisitor inDragon Age: The Veilguard. They will not be entering combat or using any skills.
How The Inquisitor Impacts Veilguard’s Story
Certain Choices Change Plot Elements
While you’re able to’t make all the nuanced choices fromDragon Age Inquisition, you can determinethree major decisions of the past game:who they romanced,what happened to the Inquisition, andhow they and Solas depart. All of these can change dialogue, mood, and various cutscenes.
If you did not edit the Inquisitor, the default choice is that they were an Elvan female who romanced no one. They disbanded the Inquisition and vowed to redeem Solas.
Past Romance Options
you may choosewho the Inquisitor romancedduring their adventure. This has the highest impact on returning characters, likeDorian PavusandSolas, but others are mentioned via dialogue inDragon Age: The Veilguard. The love interest is still restricted by their gender and race preferences.

State Of The Inquisition
This next part affects many characters, not just the Inquisitor’s direction:was the Inquisition officially disbanded, ordid it remain to defend Southern Thedas? This can alter the opening segments ofDragon Age: The Veilguardif Lace Harding and Varric still have a connection with the group. Additionally, news about southern countries likeOrlaisandFereldenwill be different. Typically, they are more secure but may have also fallen into disarray in some locations.
YouTuberScereBro PSNUencountered a default Elvan Inquisitor. This version chose to disband the Inquisition after the events ofDragon Age: Inquisition - Trespasser. While it was a tough choice, they could still keep their friends in close contact.
Relationship With Solas
The final but most important impact is if the Inquisitor vowed toredeemorkill Solas. This changes their attitude slightly, with them being more cordial if they are trying to save their old ally. It can even change theending ofDragon Age: The Veilguard. In the best ending, the Inquisitor and Sola may even reunite after years apart.
