As a long-time RPG enjoyer, I have a tendency to plan ahead when a new release I'm interested in is on the horizon. See, I can spend hours in a character creator suite, and that's in no way an exaggeration; especially when one offers up so many choices. When faced with making the decision of who I want to be, or how I want to role-play in virtual worlds, I'm often paralyzed with indecision. So, I've come to learn that it pays to prepare, and that's exactly what I've been doing in the leadup to Dragon Age The Veilguard.
When I checked out BioWare's upcoming adventure last month with creative director John Epler, I got the impression that it'll feature the best character creator from the developer so far. Plus, with seven companions and the very exciting introduction of different factions - which will give Rook a background and special dialog options, not unlike the Warden in Dragon Age: Origins - I just had to start thinking about how I'm going to approach my return to Thedas ahead of time. After all, there's a lot to consider. Who will I romance? What race and class will I be? What faction will I choose?
