The Best Mods For Dragon Age: Inquisition

After the launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, many players are going back to Dragon Age: Inquisition to have a refresher of the story. However, if this is not your first playthrough, you might be looking for ways to speed up the process from beginning to end.

Since Inquisition was released in 2014, the community has made a plethora of mods to aid you on your journey. From ways to speed up the combat process, to alternative looks for your main character, if you want to enhance your next playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition, look no further.

Updated on November 15, 2024, by Alfredo Robelo: Dragon Age: The Veilguard has finally been released, and it left fans hungry for more. If you’re looking to relieve the good old days or if you want to spend some more time with Solas, then we’ve updated this list for you, adding even more mods for your next journey through Inquisition.

Immersive Starting Armors

Everyone Shouldn’t Be Wearing The Same Thing

Dragon Age: Inquisition was a return to form for the franchise, since in Dragon Age 2, you couldn’t change your character’s background. Yet in Inquisition, unlike Origins, your character always starts using the same armor, no matter their class or history, something rather jarring when making multiple playthroughs.

Immersive Starting Armors changes that, letting you have a more fitting outfit for your journey. Now, choosing a Dalish Mage will give you forest-styled light armor, while a Human Templar will have you wearing the iconic Templar heavy armor.

Quest Tracker Fades Over Time

No More Text Blocking Your View

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, you’ll be exploring several maps with huge expanses, and even today, these maps are beautiful to look at. Of course, if you don’t want to get lost, you’ll be following your quests with the tracker, but doing so puts the quest objective permanently on your map.

While not bothersome for all players, these markers can be annoying in the long run, particularly for people looking for the most immersive experience. The mod Quest Tracker Fades Over Time does exactly what it says in the title, making the description of the quest fade while you focus on the minimap marker and your surroundings.

Better Gather Operations

You Are Leading The Inquisition, After All

A unique feature in Dragon Age: Inquisition is the War Table, a system that lets you manage your army and influence throughout the game. You will still spend most of your time adventuring outside, but the War Table lets you unlock new quests and gain resources by sending your people to do Gathering Operations.

The problem with these Operations is the lackluster rewards they give, since you can collect far more resources by adventuring on your own. The mod Better Gather Operations improves the rewards to something more worthwhile, letting you focus on slaying monsters and leaving the busywork to your Inquisition members.

7

No More Fog Of War

I Want To See Where I’m Going

The Fog of War system is an important one in games, since it enhances the feeling of exploration and discovery players have while roaming the land. Yet in your playthroughs after the first, the Fog of War system feels like more of a hindrance than anything else, making players wish they could remove it entirely.

The mod No More Fog of War does exactly that for Dragon Age: Inquisition, giving you a clear idea of where to go and how to get there. It also shows you any secrets you might have missed the first time around, opening up even more avenues for exploration.

6

Increase Inventory Capacity

Near Infinite Pockets

When you are in the middle of a quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition, the last thing you want to do is return to base to drop all the loot you’ve been picking up. It breaks the pace of the story and makes you realize how many useless items you can end up with while adventuring through Thedas.

The mod Increase Inventory Capacity removes a great part of the hassle of having a lot of loot, letting you carry thousands of armor and weapons before you ever need to go back to camp. Granted, you shouldn’t wait for the number to get that big, otherwise you might end up selling things that were better than your current equipment.

5

War Table – No Waiting

I Want It All, And I Want It Now

When you send your troops to perform a task on the War Table in Dragon Age: Inquisition, you have to wait a set amount of time before the task is complete. This can range from a few minutes to several hours, which can be extremely annoying when you need those tasks completed to continue the main story.

The mod War Table – No Waiting removes the wait time from the tasks, letting you instantly reap the rewards from your troops’ labor. It also lets you always pick the best option when sending special operatives, since, for example, you can send Leliana to all the operations if you wish, since they are all completed instantly.

Skip Fights

I’m Just Here For The Story

Combat is a core part of what makes the Dragon Age series what it is, since fighting a Celestial Dragon should be as challenging as the name of the creature implies. However, if you just want a quick fix of some Dragon Age lore in preparation for Veilguard, then you might want a way to make the fights a little easier.

The mod Skip Fights not only makes the fights easier, it removes them altogether, giving you a handy potion that kills most enemies in the surrounding area. Keep in mind that the potion in question, called the Exterminator, is replacing the regeneration potions you can get from the different Potion Tables in camp, so you’ll need to equip it for it to have any effect.

Quicker Looting

My Back Is Killing Me

We have already featured the modder Tahira in this article before, and it seems to be their mission to save us all a lot of time. This mod, Quicker Looting, removes the animation where the inquisitor bends over to grab whatever monsters dropped or whatever loot might be on the floor, making it a simple matter of mashing confirm and taking your hard-earned loot.

The mod was made back in 2015, and it still works like a charm, making you forget it is even there. The gameplay flows much better with modifications like this, making it a one-way trip; if you ever play the unmodded version of the game again, you’ll feel like the post-fight loot picking takes forever.

2

More Banter

Let’s Hear What Everyone Thinks

A difference many players have noted between Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the previous installments is the bigger focus on companions and their quests. That isn’t to say that previous games didn’t focus on them, they were always front and center, but in Veilguard it feels like it is all about these companions, what they have to say and what they think about every situation you’re in.

If you recently played Veilguard and you want Inquisition to feel more like it, then the mod More Banter is here for you. Obviously, the mod doesn’t add any new lines of dialogue, but it makes the ones that can trigger do so more frequently, letting you hear all your companions might have to say during a single playthrough.

More Inquisition Levels

Improve The Progression System

What sets Inquisition apart from other Dragon Age games, both before and after it, is that you not only level up your character and companions, but also your organization. The Inquisition isn’t only a fancy title, it is an established group of people working towards the same goal, and you can raise the level of that organization to earn different perks and unlock new areas.

The regular limit for this system is level 20, something simple to achieve far before the end of the game. The mod More Inquisition Levels adds ten more levels as well as additional perks, meaning that not only do you have new things to look forward to, you can also guarantee than you’ll see every single perk in a single playthrough.
