Summary

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will force you to swap out party members at regular intervals throughout the story.
Companions will also have their own quests that progress even when not in your party, encouraging players to interact with them more.

BioWare knows that you don't change your companions in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age games. Once you've clicked with your party, you're with them to the bitter end. It's a pretty common problem with RPGs, we even saw as much in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Veilguard aims to break that habit by making you play wit൲h companions you might otherwise ign𒅌ore.

According to , BioWare data shows that most people stick with two or three companions per playthrough. It's not often that players swap characters in and out, so The Veilguard will force you to change your party at regular intervals.

Unlike past games, you can only have two companion𓃲s in your party at a time.

"We do expect that players will have favourites they typically want to adventure with," game director♍ Corin𒊎ne Busche said. "But sometimes certain companions will be mandatory."

Another big reason to get more involved with your companions is that if you don't, they'll progress their individual stories without you. Busche explained that they all have lives outside of Rook, meaning that they won't just hang around at camp doing nothing when they're not in your party.

You'll bump into them in the world where they're found following through 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:their own questlines, so if you want to see their adventures from start to finish, you'll have to actually play with them.

"If I go an interact with [Neve], I can stop what I'm doing, pick up her arc and adventure with her throughout her part of the story," Busche said. "What's interesting i that all of the companion arcs do ultimately tie back to the themes of the main critical path, but they also have their own unique challenges and villains, and take place over the course of many different intimate moments."

So, get ready to hang out with everybody this time around, because if you leave someone behind for too long, they'll just plough on by themselves.
