Dragon Age: The Veilguard Mod Integrates Baldur’s Gate 3 Tattoos, Offering a Nod to Lae’zel’s Unique Flair

In “Dragon Age: The Veilguard,” you and your eccentric crew embark on an epic fantasy journey. Similarly, “Baldur’s Gate 3” offers a compelling quest alongside your band of quirky companions. Now, a creative modder has ingeniously blended elements of both games, letting your Rook sport some fresh facial ink.

Rest assured, this isn’t like the somewhat cringe-worthy mods that have graced Solas’ face in the past. Instead, these tattoos inject some stylish flair without the awkward head-scratching moments of uncertain translations etched across your forehead.

It’s all thanks to modder ShadyKnight, who’s cleverly ported a selection of tattoos from BG3 over, branding this mod as ‘Astarion Would Be Proud.’ In their words, “This mod swaps almost all default tattoos for those from BG3. It’s not perfect yet, but I’m satisfied enough to release it.” Sounds intriguing, right?

You’ll find all the classics here. Whether it’s face paint straight out of a kid’s birthday bash, intimidating neck scribbles, or chin designs that give off an artsy accidental-drool vibe, there’s plenty to choose from. Three birds artfully perched on your cheek let you claim a unique, if cheeky, connection to avian whispers. And yes, there’s even some cheeky clown makeup.

No matter what look you choose, these tats serve as a whimsical link back to your misadventures in BG3. Picture this: you’re deep in conversation with one of Veilguard’s charmingly kind party members when suddenly, the ink on your Rook’s face triggers memories of those cheeky Astarion comments or that time Lae’zel got overly enthusiastic and torched the campsite.

In other Veilguard updates, the game’s third patch has just dropped. Though it’s a small one, it brings some welcome quality-of-life tweaks, like better photo mode options and UI improvements. Plus, it fixes quirks like the odd facial expression Rook makes when first meeting Emmrich.

Honestly, I’ll miss that funny face—it probably provided a good laugh.
