Two new updates are now available for Dragon Age: Inquisition: a free expansion for the game’s cooperative multiplayer mode and a premium upgrade for all the deluxe edition content that came with more expensive versions of the game at launch.

Destruction, the free multiplayer update, “adds new paths to existing destinations,” according to BioWare’s website. The conflict sweeping Thedas has upset the balance of nature, and now dangerous beasts wander the battlefield, causing indiscriminate chaos for both allies and enemies. Destruction is available now as a free update for all players.

The Deluxe Upgrade allows players who purchased the Standard Edition of the game to get their hands on the content that had previously been exclusive to the Deluxe Edition. For $10 you gain access to cosmetic upgrades like an Inquisitor’s throne made from a dragon skull, or a red stag mount so you can grab a bow and pretend you’re in Princess Mononoke (Editor’s note: There is no horseback archery in Inquisition. Sadface.).

The Flames of the Inquisition gear includes weapons and armor so you can fight back the demonic invasion with fiery style. The upgrade also includes a copy of the digital soundtrack, letting you take the Inquisition with you wherever you go in real life.

Both Destruction and the Deluxe Upgrade are available for download now on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

How to upgrade weapons and armor in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Key art for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

What kind of RPG would Dragon Age: The Veilguard be without plenty of loot? After you've picked your class, customized your character, and gotten into the thick of the adventure, you will start accumulating plenty of new armors, weapons, and accessories for your Rook. How powerful your gear is, no matter what type, comes down to two factors: its rarity and its level. The former you have little control over, but upgrading is something you need to do yourself. It takes a surprising amount of time before the option becomes available, and you need to know where to even look to start the process, so we'll give you the blueprints on how to upgrade your gear in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Can you change classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

Before you begin your quest to save Thedas in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you need to make several important decisions. While you're making your character, you will customize your race, appearance, background, and more, but the most impactful decision is which class you pick. There are only three options: Warrior, Mage, and Rogue, but each one is highly customizable, with dozens of skills and ways to specialize them. We know that you can freely change your appearance after you've left the character creator, and there is an easy way to respec your skill points, but does the game also let you swap classes or do you need to give very careful thought when choosing?

Once you've made your choice between Warrior, Mage, and Rogue while creating your character, you're stuck with it. There is no way to change to a new class without restarting the entire game from scratch.

How to hold more potions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

A dark and dreary landscape in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Potions are a mainstay in almost all fantasy media. In the world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, they only come in one form, which is your classic healing potion. These mysterious elixirs are your only way to restore HP after you get smacked around a bit by some Darkspawn, but they are a notably limited resource, with just three by default. Upgrading how many potions you can hold is a common mechanic in games such as this, yet you would be hard-pressed to find a way to do it here since there's nothing in the skill trees or upgrade system that seems to allow it. There are at least two ways to hold more potions, however, so drink up as we go over what you need to do.
How to hold more potions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The first way to hold one extra potion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard has to be done during the character creator phase. When you're selecting which Faction your Rook is as part of their background, you will see that each one comes with several traits. The Antvan Crows specifically are the only one that gives you the Hidden Pouch trait that lets you hold one extra potion. Sadly, just like your class, this isn't something you can change once you've selected it.
