Summary
- Romances, Inquisition disbandment, and a decision about Solas carry over to The Veilguard.
- Players must remake their Inquisitor and manually choose past decisions in The Veilguard.
- Choices are confirmed via Tarot cards, offering flexibility.
Three major decisions made while playing Dragon Age: Inquisition can be carried over to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. One of the defining features of BioWare's games is how choices from one title can influence the world of the next. This was the case for the Mass Effect trilogy and the Dragon Age games, with players able to transfer their save files. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will offer something similar, though players won't be using their existing save files from Inquisition.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is going to have a profound impact on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. After all, the events of Inquisition directly lead into the conflict depicted in The Veilguard. The Inquisitor, the main playable character from Dragon Age: Inquisition, will also be featured in the new game. It was confirmed some time ago that players won't be able to simply transfer their existing Inquisitor to The Veilguard, but instead, they will have to remake them from scratch. Likewise, carrying choices over from Inquisition to The Veilguard will also require some manual input on the part of players.
How Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Completion Time Compares to Past Games
Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a completion time that falls right in the middle of its predecessors, but one thing tips the balance in its favor.
As confirmed by IGN, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will take into account three major decisions from Inquisition. The Dragon Age: Inquisition choices players will have to confirm in The Veilguard are who their Inquisitor romanced, whether the Inquisition was disbanded or held together, and whether the Inquisitor decided to save Solas or stop him. How exactly these choices will impact the story of Dragon Age: The Veilguard remains to be seen, but fans will just have to play the new game for themselves to find out when it launches at the end of October.
Dragon Age: Inquisition Choices That Carry Over to The Veilguard
- Who you romanced
- Whether the Inquisition was disbanded or not
- Whether you decided to save Solas or stop him
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will let players make these choices by selecting Tarot cards. It's not as convenient as save transferring, but it does give players the freedom to tweak the choices they made in Inquisition if they so desire. It should also make it a lot easier for players to see how Dragon Age: The Veilguard's story can play out differently depending on different choices from Inquisition without requiring players to replay the entirety of the 2014 game.
Luckily, Dragon Age fans don't have to wait too much longer to find see how Inquisition's big choices impact the world of The Veilguard. Dragon Age: The Veilguard's release date is set for October 31, at which point players will be free to see everything that the highly-anticipated new action-RPG has to offer.
