I explore Dragon Age's lore, gameplay, and the challenges it faces in a gaming industry increasingly dominated by formulaic, Marvel-inspired trends. I try and see how The Veilguard compares to BioWare's past titles, including Dragon Age: Origins and Inquisition. I examine whether AAA developers are sacrificing originality for blockbuster appeal and how this affects fan-favorite franchises like Dragon Age. I critique and review several aspects of the game including gameplay and writing.
If you're a fan of Dragon Age, BioWare, or passionate about the state of modern gaming, hopefully this analysis is relevant to you. Thanks for the support and remember to leave your thoughts on DATV in the comments below and lets continue the conversation.
