Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Safe Storytelling with a Surprising Emotional Twist

BioWare's latest installment in the Dragon Age series, The Veilguard, focuses on world-building, storytelling, and character development, but some players feel it lacks the morally complex choices that defined previous games. While the game offers a rich narrative and character interactions, it seems to miss the depth of ethical dilemmas that fans expect. The game also limits the impact of past choices, opting for a more contained narrative to avoid complications with "quantum characters." Players hope for more nuanced decision-making in future acts.
