Dragon Age: The Veilguard Marks BioWare's Return to Classic Storytelling

The latest installment revives the studio's signature narrative style but faces mixed reactions over its linear gameplay approach.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard features a streamlined, story-driven experience reminiscent of BioWare's earlier successes like Mass Effect 2.
The game introduces a new protagonist, Rook, who joins familiar characters in an epic quest to prevent a catastrophic event in Thedas.
BioWare's focus on character development and cinematic storytelling is praised, though some fans find the linear gameplay outdated.
The game includes seven companions, each offering unique abilities and contributing to the rich world-building of Thedas.
Despite its strengths, The Veilguard's lack of player agency and simplified role-playing elements have drawn comparisons to more reactive RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3.
