A fan has expressed their desire for Dragon Age: The Veilguard to allow players to decide the protagonist Rook's religion. According to the fan, this Dragon Age: The Veilguard feature could be similar to the flexibility offered in Inquisition.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an upcoming single-player RPG developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Set in the fantasy world of Thedas, the game introduces players to Rook, a new hero who must lead a diverse team of seven companions, each with unique backstories and abilities, to combat a new threat from two ancient gods who have broken free from centuries of darkness. The game promises to emphasize deep character development, customization options, and strategic combat.
A Dragon Age fan and Reddit user, NikkolasKing, has voiced their request for the upcoming game Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The fan wants the game to allow players to decide Rook's religion, similar to the options available in Dragon Age: Inquisition. In Inquisition, players could shape their character's religious beliefs, adding a rich layer of role-playing depth. For instance, an elf could convert to Andrastanism due to their role as the Inquisitor, creating a more nuanced and personalized character experience.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Player's Request
NikkolasKing speculated on the possible religious options that could be available in The Veilguard, mentioning Andrastian and Atheist as potential choices. They expressed particular interest in having the option for Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s protagonist Rook to follow the Qun, the philosophical and rigid religion of the Qunari. The inclusion of diverse religious options could enrich the game's role-playing elements, allowing players to align their character's beliefs with their actions and narrative choices.
Despite Dragon Age: Inquisition having a dominant religion, players could shape their character's beliefs and perspectives through dialogue choices and interactions with other characters. The protagonist, the Inquisitor, could express various viewpoints on the dominant religion of Thedas, Andrastanism, and its deity, the Maker. Players could choose to support, criticize, or remain neutral towards religious doctrines, which affected relationships with companions and influenced key story outcomes.
While specific details about religious choices have not been revealed, it has been confirmed that all companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be romanceable and canonically pansexual. Relationship levels with protagonist Rook influence companions' feelings and abilities, affected by player choices and actions throughout the game. This ensures diverse and dynamic character interactions, maintaining BioWare's tradition of creating rich, inclusive relationships. As the fall 2024 release window approaches for the game, fans are eagerly anticipating more details about it.
