Dragon Age games have long faced the same problem as Dragon Age protagonists: the utter impossibility of pleasing everyone simultaneously. Arriving almost exactly a decade after Inquisition, with hopes and expectations as granular as demands for cameos from minor characters and RPG design preferences that go all the way back to 2009's Origins, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is trying to please a lot of people. Like a protagonist playing 'yes man' to every faction, Veilguard has ended up likable, but too broad in its appeal to love like I love clunkier Origins, endearingly messy Dragon Age 2, or overambitious Inquisition.
What is it? An action-RPG where your choices affect the plot.
