The latest news about the upcoming Dragon Age game, The Veilguard, is getting fans excited with new details about companion relationships and skills. In a recent update from Game Informer, it was revealed that each companion will have a “Relationship Level” that can be leveled up, earning them a skill point each time. This relationship level isn’t just about romantic relationships but also about friendships and trust among the companions. Game director Corinne Busche emphasized the importance of these relationships, highlighting the found family dynamic among the characters.
Unlike the player character, companions will have smaller skill trees with only five abilities. While some fans may be concerned about this limitation, having fewer abilities could mean that each one is more impactful and useful in gameplay. Additionally, building strong relationships with companions will enhance their combat effectiveness, a feature that has been present in previous Dragon Age games.
One interesting aspect of The Veilguard’s relationships is that companions who are not romanced by the player may pursue relationships with each other. This adds depth to the character interactions and can lead to fun and heartwarming scenes between companions. This feature was well-received in previous Dragon Age and Mass Effect games, and fans will be pleased to see it return in The Veilguard.
Overall, the focus on relationships and character development in The Veilguard promises to create a rich and immersive gameplay experience for fans of the Dragon Age series. With new details emerging about companion skills and relationships, anticipation for the game’s release continues to grow. Stay tuned for more updates on The Veilguard and other exciting developments in the world of gaming.
