Dragon Age: The Veilguard won't let players have full control over their companions, but BioWare says that's because there's so much to do that it doesn't want you to be overwhelmed.
Speaking to Edge magazine, game director Corianna Busch explained why Dragon Age: The Veilguard is dropping the party-controlling formula of previous games, even as it drops your companion count from three to two. "On the experiential side, we wanted you to feel like you are Rook," Busch explained. "You're in this world, you're really focused on your actions. We wanted the companions to feel like they, as fully-realised characters, are in control of their own actions. They make their own decisions."
