BioWare has built its identity on complex RPGs that revolve around the player, forcing you to make agonizing choices that shape the world. Few developers have been as influential for the idea of “player choice,” from the beloved larger-than-life Commander Shepard to the streets of Baldur’s Gate. Considering that legacy, fans have been disappointed to learn that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will only let you carry over three decisions from Inquisition, dropping dozens of other choices across the trilogy. While that disappointment is understandable, a decade after Inquisition it’s a necessary decision that can allow Dragon Age to keep growing and flourishing.
As detailed in an IGN First article, the decisions that Veilguard lets you carry over is who the Inquisitor romanced, whether the Inquisition stayed together or disbanded, and whether you decided to save Solas or stop him.
