Spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard ahead

Summary

Mythal is a character we haveinteracted with in every single Dragon Age game, butDragon Age: The Veilguardtook this to another level. Here, we interact with two different versions of the character - or rather, two fragments. This means we see yet another character model for Mythal, and this time one that isn’t shared with Flemeth or Morrigan.

Alas, fans have largely found this character model disappointing. Unlike other major characters, Mythal doesn’t seem to get much in the way of unique assets and looks like any old elf you could make in the character creator. This has pushed one fan to make their own improvements, making this incredibly important character much more imposing.

Mythal Overhaulwas shared earlier today by Nexus Mods user doggomelette. As you can see, it gives her a much darker colour scheme and an aesthetic which is quite similar to the hosts of her other fragment, Flemeth and Morrigan.

Better yet, she’s sporting the horns that were part of Flemeth’s design fromDragon Age 2onwards. This gives her more of a connection to the version of Mythal that we knew fromDragon Age: OriginstoDragon Age: Inquisitionbefore The Veilguard became the first entry she was absent for.

As the mod’s author explains, Mythal is supposed to be an “immortal, enormously powerful draconic elf”, so this brings her more in line with what many of us were expecting. As it stands, I’m fairly sure I even have Mythal’s robes in my Rook’s wardrobe. The only asset that appears to be unique to her (and Morrigan) is the crown, which the mod keeps intact,

And if all of this is confusing you, it might be because you missed Mythal entirely. You only get to confront her if you beat the Regrets of the Dread Wolf questline, which is well worth it if you’re interested in the lore.
