Summary

You won't need to play the previous Dragon Age games to understand The Veilguard, according to BioWare.
The creative director says there will be references to previous games, but assures new players won't feel lost.
He adds that The Veilguard is "its own story", not just a continuation from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

BioWare says that you won't need to play previous games to understand 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This is despite the game kicking off with the aftermath of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Inquisition, with several characꦏters from the last game m♊aking an appearance.

Instead, BioWare says that The Veilguard will be accessib🌜le to fans both old and new. However, it adds that it will still be "respectful" to the previous games in the series, so we can still expect references to be made to older titles.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is "Respectful" To Previous Games, But You Don't Need To Play Them

"One of the things we wanted to make sure with Veilguard is that it's respectful and referential to previous games without feeling like you needed to have played Inquisition, or [Dragon Age 2] or [168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Origins] to understand what's going on," says John Epler, creative director on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, speaking in an with Game Informer.

"While there are references, there are moments that we have callbacks, it really is its own story, its own continuation with a different cast, with different characters," Epler explains. "Historically Dragon Age always has had a different cast per game, so that gives us a lot of freedom in terms of what we want to lean on in the past, and what we want to bring in that's new and forward-facing."

This ties into BioWare's reasoning for changing the game's name from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. As we previously reported, BioWare doesn't consider The Veilguard to be a game about Solas, and the title change puts the focus on the companions instead. With this in mind, it seems that new players can jump in without having met Solas in Dragon Age: Inquisition, despite the game kicking off with his plans to tear down the V🍌eil.

Despite this, we're still going to see a bunch of familiar faces. Right now, we know that Solas (obviously), Varric, and Lace Harding will return as characters. It remains to be seen who else gets a cameo - although with The Veilguard taking plac🐟e 22 years after Dr🅘agon Age: Origins, our old frie๊nds could look quite different now.
