Hello and welcome to our take of a save editor for Dragon Age: The Veilguard or "DAVE" for short. Right now, DAVE has grown since release but mishaps can still happen. So disclaimer! If you're fine with that, just make sure to have a folder with backups to all your save files in case anything goes astray.

How to download: When downloading for the first time, unzip the file and extract it wherever you want the editor located. Once extracted, open the "DAVE Updater" folder. Inside you'll find various different files but the only one you should pay attention to is the "DAVE Updater" file. If this is your first time downloading, running that application will load the most current version of the save editor. If you already have the updater, running the program will update your DAVE program directly on your computer to the newest version if you currently have an outdated one. This shouldn't be an issue anymore but if your antivirus software is giving you trouble, just turn it off when you download and install for the first time. You can turn it back on after that.

Once the file is downloaded and you open the save editor, upload the save file you wish to edit. Once you hit save in the editor, it should automatically be saved directly to the game. If you don't know where to find your save files, typically the file path goes along as: Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games\

Features we have right now that you can edit are:

[]Ability to change inquisition decisions & inquisitor appearance/details

[]Ability to change your faction at will

[]Ability to change your class at will, allowing all races to all classes

[]Ability to change your race

[]Ability to change Rook's gender and pronouns

[]A general skills tab for Rook, allowing you to give yourself more available skills points or to just check off which skills you want(this includes specializations.)

[]A general quests tab to change choices made in the game or change quest states

[]Editing amount of skill points for companions

[]Editing companion rank

[]Editing caretaker rank

[]Editing faction strength

[]Ability to upgrade or downgrade your weapons

[]Ability to give all Rooks access to lineage/race locked hairs. Download the detailed guide in the files tab.

[]Ability to further edit Rook to have different  lineage/race heads be compatible with different lineage/race bodies.

[]Editing amount for all currencies in the game
