Dragon Age: The Veilguard It is set 10 years after Dragon Age: Inquisition.
In a Q&A session held on Discord and broadcast by Shinobi602, the team confirmed several unknown aspects of the highly-anticipated sequel, including the news that The Inquisitor will “definitely be part of the story”.
We also learned a little more about how the game will work, including the news that, unlike Inquisition, there will be no power mechanic to halt progression, locations can change based on your choices, and you can return to complete side quests – described as “handcrafted and story focused” – in locations you’ve already visited. The team also said there will be no “fetch quests.”
In addition, your origin story “will play a very important role during the game”, giving “you the opportunity to define who your Rook was and is, and lots of dialogue options”.
The team also said it decided to reduce the number of party members from three to two, in order to focus on a “more intimate experience”, in which you’ll have to balance the skills of your companions more carefully than in previous Dragon Age installments.
