Dragon Age: The Veilguarddevelopers have answered the most urgently thirsty questions about the RPG fourquel, confirming that there will be a Baldur’s gate 3-style toggle to turn nudity on and off during the game’s more frisky scenes.

“There is a toggle for on/off nudity,” game director Corinne Busche said in a recent Discord Q&A. “That is one of the settings we have - and we’ll be going deeper into settings and accessibility as we get a little bit closer to launch.”

Busche elaborates that the character creator will also let players customize Rook’s underwear, or underclothes, to decide “whether that exposes your chest or your breasts.” Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s default option is to have nudity turned on, though, “but at any point, you can toggle the setting to be non-nudity and it will overwrite your undergarments.”

Since Baldur’s Gate 3 set players loose to seduce vampires, bears, and any other manner of vaguely sexy fantasy denizens, there’s definitely been an uptick in interest over howromanticRPGs are now - to the point where Busche previouslyteased nudity in The Veilguardlike it was a sparkly feature.

While we know that topless nudity is definitely a thing in this version of Thedas, confirming whether “bottom nudity” was also featured apparently veered too closely into spoilery territory, as the studio said it wants fans to discover that for themselves when the time comes.
