Dragon Age: The Veilguard Faces Criticism Over Character Design and Fan Service

BioWare's latest RPG installment sparks debate over Qunari redesign, character proportions, and the balance between fan service and narrative integrity.

BioWare's creative team emphasizes that not all beloved characters can return, aiming to avoid cheapening their story arcs with unnecessary cameos.
The Qunari race redesign in The Veilguard has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans comparing the new look to inferior CGI and Star Trek props.
Popular streamer Asmongold criticized the game's character proportions, describing them as 'awful' and questioning BioWare's design choices.
Companion characters in The Veilguard will form relationships independent of the player, adding layers of complexity and potential for player intervention.
The game draws on fan-favorite features from previous Dragon Age titles, blending elements from Origins, DA2, and Inquisition to create a cohesive experience.
