BioWare plays it totally safe with storytelling in Dragon Age: The Veilguard but there's one emotional gut punch that really got me

Dragon Age: Th Veilguard - Davrin crouches down to speak to a griffin.

I think it's fair to say that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a game that was developed to be as safe as possible. Complex moral issues are completely bypassed, quest choices are rather simplistic, and 'The Gods' are just token evil characters that must be destroyed. I'm okay with all of that because the game itself has been lots of fun to play and complete.

Compared to previous Dragon Age games and other BioWare classics, I never felt particularly invested in any of the characters I interacted with, but again, not a problem as the combat more than made up for it. The writing and voice acting are partly to blame here but I think it's more a case of that it was all very predictable.
