I've always wondered how difficult it must be to come up with game titles. It's got to be challenging to try and you sum up what your game is about, or capture the essence of it through a name. When it comes to a series like Dragon Age, each entry is different and explores the journey of separate protagonists. Aside from Dragon Age 2, each installment has a moniker that speaks to its direction: with Origins leaning into the different backgrounds of the playable protagonist, and Inquisition focusing on the very organization it's named after that you lead with your companions.
But no title has gotten me quite as excited as Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Ever since the announcement of the new name for what was previously called Dragon Age Dreadwolf, I've only grown to appreciate the change and what it means for the next entry more and more. Not only does it signal that our return to Thedas is going all in on what makes me love BioWare RPGs the most, but it also keeps making me think about our role as Rook and who we will become.
