Dragon Age: The Veilguard Q&A Unveils Exciting Details
The promotional campaign for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is gaining momentum following BioWare’s reintroduction of the RPG at Summer Game Fest. Recently, a Discord Q&A session with game director Corinne Busche, creative director John Epler, and art director Matt Rhodes provided fans with more insights about the highly-anticipated game.
One of the major reveals from the Q&A session was the decision to have only two party members accompany the protagonist, Rook, at a time. This departure from the traditional party of four characters aims to bring a more intimate gameplay experience. Despite concerns about the impact on party banter, the developers assured fans that interactions between companions will still be present, both during travels and at the home base.
Another interesting tidbit shared during the Q&A was the absence of a photo mode in The Veilguard. While BioWare is open to incorporating this feature in the future, players can expect a more limited ability wheel that requires strategic decision-making when choosing abilities for their characters.
Accessibility features, including an arachnophobia mode, are also being considered for the game to cater to a wider audience. Additionally, fans can look forward to a transmog system that allows for customization of character outfits and the return of tavern songs performed by bards in the game.
Furthermore, the team clarified that there will be no microtransactions, battle passes, or online requirements in The Veilguard. While DLC plans are not the focus at the moment, BioWare is open to exploring additional content post-launch.
As the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard approaches, players can anticipate a deep character creator, faction-based last names for the protagonist Rook, and the possibility of temporary companion departures based on player choices. The game is set to launch this fall, offering both new and returning players a fresh adventure in the Dragon Age universe.
