Dragon Age The Veilguard Everything We Learned Gameplay

Gather round, Thedosians! Collider is thrilled to be showing you an advanced look at BioWare’s highly anticipated return to the Dragon Age franchise, alongside exciting tidbits we learned while playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard and speaking to some of its creators.

With that shocking revelation out of the way, join me as I perform my best impression of Varric and entertain you with the tales of all I saw during my return to Thedas. Caution! There’s a blight of spoilers beyond this point. Be sure to check out my gameplay footage in the player above and read on for so much more.

I could have spent hours playing with the tiniest, most subtle, facial features; playing with Rook’s height and weight; tweaking muscle tone; and adorning her body with scars and tattoos and a Sephora-sized collection of make-up options. But for me, the most exciting aspect of the character customization menu was the hair. I scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled through the long list of luscious, bouncy, and diverse hairstyles that Veilguard has.

We spent a lot of time in the Arlathan Forest with the Veil Jumper Bellara Lutare , which may just be one of the most beautiful forest locations that Dragon Age has conjured up. There was so much color, visual intrigue, and depth to every rock, leaf, and ruin we stumbled across. The forest stood in such sharp contrast with the next location we ventured into: the Blight-ruined village of Hossberg, which feels like something pulled straight out of a horror movie.

You Will Get More Quality Time With Your Companions Close At the end of the event, François Chaput and John Epler joined Busche and Cheverie on stage to answer some of the most pressing questions that attendees had after spending the day playing the game.

While the team wasn’t able to tease any specifics about the puzzles or challenges that gamers will encounter, Busche did delve deeper into what Chaput was hinting at when she shared the following piece of information that will certainly make romance fans even more excited to spend time with their favorite companions. “I'll give you a small example of what this looks like, one that really sits with me,” Busche began, after praising Chaput’s own answer.

And if you’re at all like me, I was extremely worried about accidentally locking myself out of romances like I did an embarrassing number of times in Dragon Age 2. Fortunately, Busche was more than happy to allay my concerns. “This is a world-ending event like we've never seen before, and what that means is that you are going to have your opportunity to recruit each member of the Veilguard, but from there, your level of engagement is going to drive how they show up. What's more, I don't want to spoil it, but there are a lot of consequential decisions in the game that people might need to step away for, for a while. They might need to deal with their perception of the decision you made.
