As reported by GameInformer,Dragon Age: The Veilguardwill contain nudity, and this can be seen from as early as the character creation screen, in which players can customize the chest size of a female Rook,the playable character forDragon Age: The Veilguard. Only topless nudity could be seen, raising questions as to how far the nudity inThe Veilguardwould go.When BioWare was asked whether this meant there would be more nudity present elsewhere in the game, game director Corrine Busche only responded by saying thatDragon Age: The Veilguardis a “mature RPG.” Slight nudity has appeared in pastDragon Agegames, but the ability to adjust chest size is a previously unseen addition, and combined with the coy response given by the game’s director, some fans believe that more nudity than usual will be present inDragon Age: The Veilguard.
