Dragon Age: The Veilguard Faces Internal Struggles and Review Bombing

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a more focused and faster-paced entry in the series compared to Dragon Age: Inquisition, featuring open zones rather than a full open-world. The game introduces Rook, the protagonist, who teams up with familiar characters like Varric to tackle classic RPG challenges, including battling demons and blightspawn. The combat system is engaging, allowing weapon switching and class-specific abilities, though players are locked into their chosen class from the start. The companion system is simplified but effective, with a well-written and diverse group of characters. However, the writing sometimes feels too modern and quippy, reminiscent of Marvel-style dialogue, which may not suit all players.
