Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Mass Effect’s Opposite in One Way

Jun 16, 2024 2:02 PM

BioWare has officially unveiled Dragon Age: The Veilguard, previously known as Dreadwolf, with a new gameplay trailer. Unlike the Mass Effect series, which leans heavily towards action RPG elements, The Veilguard will focus on the role-playing aspect, boasting an extensive skill tree likened to Final Fantasy X's Sphere Grid. The game won’t feature an open-world format but will offer mission-based gameplay to deliver intense, curated narratives and engaging side content. Set to release this fall on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Dragon Age: The Veilguard promises to deliver a beautiful and immersive RPG experience.

How does Dragon Age: The Veilguard differ from Mass Effect?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard focuses more on role-playing elements compared to Mass Effect's action-heavy gameplay. The Veilguard features an extensive skill tree and mission-based structure, emphasizing a curated narrative experience.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard, developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts, marks a return to the beloved Dragon Age series, which began in 2009 with Dragon Age: Origins. Known for its rich storytelling and complex character interactions, the series has evolved over the years, with each installment bringing new layers to the lore of Thedas. The Veilguard aims to build on this legacy by offering a finely tuned RPG experience, drawing inspiration from other iconic RPG systems while maintaining the franchise's unique flair.

Wow, Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems like it's blending the best elements of classic RPGs with BioWare's signature storytelling touch The mission-based format combined with an intricate skill tree is giving me some serious old-school vibes with a modern twist.
