Dragon Age: The Veilguard is about to bring us back to Thedas this Fall, and we've at long last gotten to see some gameplay in action. As protagonist Rook, we're about to set out with a group of companions to take on the infamous Dreadwolf, Solas. If you played Dragon Age: Inquisition, you'll know that the elf Solas seeks to restore the world of his people at the cost of many other lives. As a longtime fan of Dragon Age, I've been waiting for almost 10 years for the new adventure to arrive, and after checking out the opening of the game with creative director John Epler, I'm more excited than ever to at long last return to the fantasy setting and discover everything that's in store for us later this year.
You can check out what GR+'s Dustin Bailey made of it in our Dragon Age: The Veilguard hands-off preview, but I'm here to interrogate the burning questions as a series superfan. From the new direction in combat, to the focus on companions, and the most in depth character creator I've ever seen in the series, there's already plenty of exciting details and additions that speak to my Dragon Age-loving heart. And with the opportunity to ask Epler more about the next instalment following the gameplay preview, I've gathered together some of the biggest highlights from my time seeing Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
