Like its predecessors, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a meaty main mission list, so some fans may be curious about where they are at and how much more they have to go. This guide, without going into spoilers, lists the available missions during their related Acts.
While this guide does not detail spoilers, players may be able to glean some events based on the mission names. Please consider this a warning.
However, it's worth noting that main missions are only one part of the formula. Each companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard has their own lengthy story arc, taking players several quests and man-hours to complete. Whether these missions are completed or not eventually comes to matter during the main mission. At the same time, there are several Faction quests (as well as side content) that can be completed to bolster the strength of a player's allies. This, too, eventually matters during the main mission. The result is a meaty game with a lot to do before the credits roll.
