We've all been there: right at the end of character creation in the latest big RPG, staring at our choice of character class and wondering which is best. The good news is that there is no best class for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. And I don't mean that in the wishy washy "pick which class suits your playstyle way," it's more genuinely true than most other RPGs.
The Veilguard has done a lot to really cut down on the fundamental differences between warriors, rogues, and mages in The Veilguard. All three, even the mages, have survivability at close range, plenty of AOE, and status effect application. On top of that, your party members are all just AI helpers, and you're almost always going to be the center of attention in a fight, meaning there's way less emphasis on party composition and more on making sure your crew brings skills that can apply or detonate the status effects in your own kit.
