I loved my time with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and whereas this RPG isn’t as layered or nuanced because the predecessors within the fantasy sequence, it’s nonetheless a enjoyable journey recreation. The Veilguard solely launched in October, however the PlayStation 5 model of the sport is at present 23% off at each Amazon and Walmart throughout Black Friday. (The Xbox model continues to be full worth, alas.) Gross sales for such current video games are uncommon, so this can be a good manner to take a look at the newest journey to Thedas.
The Veilguard is the follow-up to Dragon Age: Inquisition, the critically acclaimed RPG that wrapped up tons of plot threads from the sequence’ first two video games. This recreation focuses on Solas, the companion from Inquisition who was ultimately revealed within the Trespasser DLC to be Fen’Harel, aka the Dread Wolf, an elven god of insurrection, lies, and trickery. The Veilguard begins with stumbling upon Solas’ ritual, which in flip… effectively, that will get into spoiler territory, you’ll have to seek out out for your self.
The Veilguard takes place within the world north of Thedas, with the protagonist Rook and their group of companions utilizing magical Eluvian mirrors to leap between a couple of areas. Even for those who haven’t performed the primary three Dragon Age video games, The Veilguard is constructed to rely a lot much less on earlier protagonists’ selections, which means try to be completely high quality if that is your introduction to BioWare’s fantasy sequence.
