Best Dragon Age: The Veilguard Mods
One of the joys of modern gaming is seeing what mods are released after a game’s release, and this is the case with Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Even though Bioware’s newest entry into the popular RPG franchise has a lot of content to get into, the mod scene is starting to emerge with some changes to the game that can create an entirely new experience. Some of them can be small adjustments that change the way an item looks in the game, while others could alter the game in more significant ways.

Table of Contents
Those looking to use the best healing methods in Dragon Age: The Veilguard should highly consider gaining access to these Companion Skills.
The player base is already starting to release their mods for the game, and a lot is available at the time of writing. Even more, there is sure to be even more coming shortly. Regardless, if anyone is looking to dive into the mods for the game that are available now, here are the five best ones available now.
Anti Stutter
Better Graphics
- Makes the game run better on older PCs
- Keeps stuttering down
The Anti Stutter mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods right now. The game runs pretty well, all things considered, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some issues occasionally. As such, there are a lot of mods that are looking to help with the game’s performance.
This mod is one of the best, as it specifically targets running the game on an older CPU and a slower disk like an HDD. Both of these can hamper the game’s performance and this mod helps with that. Its effect on the frame rate is minimal, but it’s more to keep the visuals and audio consistent.
Dark Fantasy LUT
A More Realistic Aesthetic
- Removes the brighter colors of the graphics
- Gives the game a more realistic look
Dragon Age The Veilguard is a pretty game, but many players aren’t too thrilled with how colorful it is. Compared to the more muted look of the previous games, it’s certainly more bombastic in terms of visuals. Because of this, some people want the game to look like its predecessors.
That’s where this mod comes into play. It reduces or removes a lot of the purplish/magenta coloring that can be found in the graphics, and gives the game a more realistic, somber look. It both makes the game look like the previous games, while also giving it a more dark fantasy feel.
Link – Breath Of The Taash
Bring The Hero Of Time To Thedas
- A fun skin to make Link in the game
- Combines two fantastic fantasy worlds
Fantasy is a packed genre, especially in gaming. And there might not be a bigger title in the industry than The Legend of Zelda, which makes it completely understandable to want to combine it with this one. Through the magic of modding, that is completely possible now.
This mod brings a character preset to the creator that brings Link to life. It won’t make the world any different or somehow bring the threat of Ganondorf to Thedas, but it is cool to play as everyone’s favorite hero in a different setting.
Taylor Swift Preset
Queen Of Music Comes To Thedas
- Brings a popular icon to the game
- Just funny
Look, some of the mods on this list are far more important than others. This is not one of them. This mod is here for the joke and it’s pretty funny. It brings the icon of Taylor Swift to life in the game and there aren’t any gameplay changes that come from it. It’s just the look of it.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard – How To Revive
Combat isn’t always easy in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, so having some revive charges on hand could be the difference between victory and defeat.
It’s just amusing to bring Taylor Swift into this game. Doing a Link preset makes sense, but this one is just outlandish enough to make it absolutely worth it.
Toggle User Interface
Add Immersion
- Allows for more UI control
- Helps add immersion to the game
Continuing on the line of the game being beautiful, it can sometimes feel like the HUD elements are getting in the way of seeing those stunning graphics. While these are all important to have in the game, they can feel a little unwieldy sometimes and distract from the art in front of the players.
This mod allows players to remove those HUD elements with the press of a button. This helps them keep the distractions to a minimum while being able to bring those elements back when they need them. It’s a handy tool that makes the game feel more immersive as a result.
What A Smashing Preset
Nigel Thornberry Comes To Life
- This meme should never die
- It looks spot-on
There are a lot of memes on the internet, and one of the absolute best is the obsession with Nigel Thornberry, the famous father voiced by Tim Curry who was present during the childhood of every 90’s kid. His signature accent and behavior made him a staple for most cartoon viewing sessions. This has extended into the character emerging as one of the internet’s favorite characters to meme.
This continues on with this mod, which will give players a character preset that creates Nigel Thornberry as a playable character in the game. Of course, people can’t replicate the voice, which is, arguably, the backbone of the character, but even the look is enough to keep the chuckles going. There is nothing to ruin the atmosphere of an intense scene than that monster of a nose making an appearance.
BloomBeGone
Make Things Less Stylized
- Makes things a little less flashy
- Brings a more realistic look to the game
A lot of games like to make things a little flashy by including certain graphic settings like Bloom. This feature takes light sources in the game and blows them out. It can look cool when done well, but it can also be overwhelming at times. This game is no exception and while it works for the most part, it does have its moments of being distracting.
However, this mod can change that by offering players to option to reduce or eliminate the bloom effects in the graphics. It makes everything feel more grounded, while not blasting players with images that can detract from the experience at hand.
