BioWare's 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard' Returns to Story-Focused RPG Roots

The upcoming game will feature more intense combat and remove companion control to enhance player engagement.

BioWare emphasizes a single-player, story-driven experience in 'The Veilguard'.
Players will only control the protagonist, Rook, due to the game's higher actions-per-minute demands.
Companions will act independently, with limited player direction during combat.
The game aims to avoid the pacing issues of 'Inquisition' by focusing on a more curated experience.
BioWare learned from 'Anthem' and is doubling down on its RPG strengths.
