BioWare's latest Dragon Age: The Veilguard sampling platter serves up some picturesque walkthroughs of a few new spaces in the series' expanded universe, including several areas previously only hinted at in snippets of lore. That said, I'm more excited by the interplay between these areas and the "exploration abilities" of the game's companions, as well as BioWare's solution to the age-old problem of leaving your companions at home like some RPG Home Alone parody.
In a new EA blog post on "exploration across Thedas," the Dragon Age community team teases that "veterans of the series have heard whispers in the past about each of these places in Thedas, but now you will actually be able to explore and experience them in-game." Those areas include the Arlathan Forest, Hossberg Wetlands, Minrathous, Rivain, and Treviso, all of which received short little trailers showing off the scenery. These are unlisted on YouTube at the time of writing, so I've embedded them all here – down below for readability's sake.
