Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard Worth Your Time? Let's Dive In
Dragon Age fans, get ready! BioWare's long-awaited RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is almost here. We've had a sneak peek, and there's a lot to unpack. From the character creator to the impact of your choices, this game promises to be a thrilling ride. Let's dive into what makes this game special and why you should be excited.
First Impressions
We've spent seven hours with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it's impressive. BioWare seems to have learned from past mistakes, focusing on narrative and character development. This game feels like a return to the core principles that made the series great.
Choices Matter
BioWare is known for making choices matter, and The Veilguard is no exception. You'll make key decisions in the character creator that reflect your past choices in Inquisition. However, BioWare's track record with maintaining the impact of these choices is mixed. We'll see how this plays out in the final game.
Faction Dynamics
When you start the game, you'll choose a Faction for your protagonist, Rook. Each Faction has a corresponding party member, adding layers to your relationships. While relationships aren't locked behind Factions, shared backgrounds can add depth to your interactions.
Extended Universe
If you haven't kept up with Dragon Age's extended universe, now's the time. BioWare recommends checking out the novels, comics, and even an audio drama that showcase the party members in The Veilguard. These stories will enrich your experience when the game launches.
Character Creator
The character creator in The Veilguard is incredible. We had full freedom to explore its capabilities, and it's the most cohesive system BioWare has put together since Mass Effect 3. However, there's always room for improvement, and we hope to see even more options in the final release.
