How to change your companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Dragon Age: The Veilguard might be a single-player experience, but you rarely play alone, and that’s only possible thanks to your companions.

However, your available number of companions will always be more than your squad size, so you’ll have to make some critical decisions. While you can shuffle and switch your party members inside the game, it can’t be done whenever you want. Hence, it’s crucial to understand how you can change your party composition.

When can you change your party members in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

There are two moments when you can specifically alter your party composition in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It can be done right at the beginning of a fresh quest when you’re about to leave your Lighthouse. Once you’ve selected the pursuit and its location, you can access the “Change Party” option. It will show your two existing party members, and you can change any/both of them based on your preferences.

The only exception to this is that some quests have predetermined team members. In some instances, you’ll lose access to certain members, but that mostly happens in the endgame, so you don’t have to stress about that in the beginning.

You can also change the composition of your party at Beacons. You’ll come across beacons while traveling the lands, and they’re instrumental as they allow you to fast travel. But your fallen teammates will also be available at your beacons, where you can “Gather Your Party.” Not only can you recall all your fallen party members, but you can also shuffle the composition.

Do note that your available companions will gradually increase as you complete more quests in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The main campaign has three different acts, and there is additional content like side quests, Faction quests, and more. All your companions also have their own story arcs, so there’s plenty to explore and complete.
