Your Choices Matter Less in The Veilguard, Says BioWare

Dec 07, 2024 11:32 AM

BioWare's upcoming RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has sparked discussions among fans due to the limited impact of decisions from previous games. While Dragon Age fans were excited about how their past choices would influence the new narrative, they were met with disappointment at the revelation that few older decisions will affect The Veilguard's storyline directly. An interview with director Corinne Busche clarified that while older choices may not shape this story, they remain relevant and could influence future titles in the series. Fans are encouraged to revisit earlier games as a chance to shape their story across the franchise.

Will my choices from previous Dragon Age games matter in The Veilguard?

No, in The Veilguard your choices from previous titles have limited direct impact. However, director Corinne Busche indicated that past decisions still hold significance and will likely play a role in future games.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest installment in BioWare's celebrated RPG series, which has spanned over a decade and earned a dedicated fanbase. The decisions made in earlier games, like Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition, previously shaped player experiences, making the current narrative shift particularly noteworthy. Players have been anticipating how these legacy choices might come into play as the story unfolds in Northern Thedas.
