When you launch BioWare’s long-awaited RPG Dragon Age: Veiled Guard October 31st and when creating your custom character, you will be asked before the game starts which faction your protagonist Rook is from. as you will notice Recruit new teammates Each faction has corresponding party members throughout your journey. As I was working on my character for a hands-on preview at publisher Electronic Arts’ Redwood City studio earlier this month, I started thinking that if I wanted to get closer to a certain character, how important would it be for me to choose that character’s faction? Are there any benefits? I asked BioWare at the event, and it sounds like while relationships won’t be locked behind your faction, shared backgrounds may bring new layers to certain relationships.

I play the Shadow Dragon, a member of the resistance in the magical land of Tevinter, who is fighting back against the corrupt, magic-driven nation’s leadership and slave masters who force the people into servitude. This seemed like a good place to start the game, since I knew the intro started in Minlahus, the capital of Twente, and the idea of being a freedom fighter in a magical cyberpunk city was one I could pull off. hook. Then, as I played through the opening hours, I met Neve Gallus, a detective in the city and part of the Shadow Dragon’s efforts to reform Twente. When we had time to chat alone she said “you know me” and my rook, who has known her for a few hours at most, replied matter-of-factly “do I?” Neve said we are both Shadow Dragons and both from Minla Seuss, so even though we’ve never met, our work certainly has.
I was able to answer that in Tevinter the shadows have to stick together and I wonder how many points there are in the whole process Veil Guard I was able to connect with Neve about our shared dilemma. This is a common phenomenon dragon age In the series, mage players can discuss their shared experiences with members of the mage party, or elves can debate with characters like Serra and Solas Inquisition About the history and future of their people. Hell, in InquisitionSolas’s romance is unique to elven heroes. So during a hands-on preview, I asked creative director John Epler how your faction affects your relationships with teammates, one of the many ways your Rook background affects your relationships with others. Hopefully your clique blocks out any potential romance or friendship.
“I wouldn’t say it leads to the deepest relationships. [to be the same faction as a party member]it will be a different relationship,” Eppler said. “We never want you to feel like, ‘If I want to be romantically involved with this character, [I] It has to be this one, but you get different content. This is true for both factions, but is also true if you are an elf and talk to Belala, for example. You’re going to have a very different conversation with them. [elven] Compared to you being a human, a dwarf, or a qunari, the gods are out there. Because of that shared link. These are your gods in the world, they may have a lot of empathy and compassion compared to, say, dwarves or humans and the qunari, but they don’t share the same experiences. But again, it’s not more content, it’s different content.
So, there you have it. Your faction won’t prevent you from forming certain relationships, but it will give it a different meaning smell. Almost makes me want to become the Gray Warden so that the handsome elf warrior Davlin and I can have a bond between the two of us doomed by narrative.
