How To Respec Your Character In Dragon Age: The Veilguard

You’ll be glad to know that it’s possible to respec Rook (your character) in Dragon Age: The Veilguard with next to no restrictions. To reclaim all skill points spent on Rook, start by opening the Skills menu. Then, press the designated “Refund Points” button (F by default on Keyboard and Mouse). A confirmation message will appear; press F again to confirm, and you’ll regain all previously spent Skill Points.

You can also refund individual skill points. To do this, click on the specific skill you want to refund, then press the designated refund button, which is Left Click by default on Keyboard and Mouse. This action won’t prompt a confirmation screen.

Keep in mind, though, that individual skills can only be refunded if they don’t have any linked abilities. If linked abilities are present, you’ll need to refund those as well.
