Summary
- Minrathous, the largest city in Thedas, will be "sprawling" according to BioWare.
- Art director Matt Rhodes and game director Corinne Busch revealed that a single line from Dorian influenced their creation of Minrathous.
- The scale of Minrathous will be felt in its verticality according to Rhodes.
We saw a sneak peek of Minrathous in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard's released during Summer Game Fest. The city's impressive skyline certainly puts the rustic settlements of Ferelden to shame, but just how big is Minrathous?
The largest city in Thedas is the seat of the mighty Tevinter Imperium and promises to be "sprawling" according to BioWare. In an interview with Edge Magazine (thanks ), art director Matt Rhodes reveals that a single line of dialogue in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition acted as a guiding light for the team when they were cre❀ating Minrathous.
The Biggest City In Thedas
The dialogue comes from Dorian Pavus, a native of Minrathous, in conversation with Blackwall, everyone's favourite compulsive liar and gentle lover. Blackwall calls Denerim and Val Royeaux "bigger and proper cities," to which Dorian responds, "Visit Tevinter one day. Minrathous will put your southern cities in perspective."
Rhodes acknowledges that you can't compete with the power of imagination, but the team is "shooting for the moon" in bringing Minrathous to life. Game director Corinne Busch echoes this sentiment, saying "When your Dragon Age: Inquisition companion Dorian joins you in Orlais, in one of the biggest cities in Thedas, he mentions that it's quaint and cute compared to Minrathous. That one bit of dialogue was our guiding principle on how to realise this city."
Val Royeaux was seen by players as a bit of a disappointment, being comparable in size to Dragon Age Origin's Denerim despite being the seat of the Orlesian Empire and supposedly being much more advanced than Ferelden.
Rhodes goes on to speak about the verticality of Minrathous, and how the team has used props to lead the player's eyes to the city above them. He adds that they want you to feel like no matter where you're standing in Minrathous, you can feel how much civilisation there is both above and below you at all times.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn't have an official release date, but the release date of the game's accompanying art book ha🧔s led people to expect the game to release around Octoberꦺ 30.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the long-awaited fourth game in the fantasy RPG series from BioWare formerly known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. A direct sequel to Inquisition, it focuses on red lyrium and Solas, the aforementioned Dread Wol꧂f.
