Dragon Age looks better, plays better than ever in The Veilguard


GamesBeat's Rachel Kaser got to play several hours of Dragon Age: The Veilguard -- and the gameplay is the shot in the arm the series needs.

One of the places I visited was Treviso a gorgeous city in Antiva, a land whose lush beauty has only been implied in the mellifluous accents of Zevran and Josephine. My one complaint — and, again, I won’t go into specifics for fear of spoilers — is that the dialogue and choice system, a staple of Bioware games, sometimes feels a bit over-explain-y. No more are you relegated to just parking on the backlines wildly swinging a stick around while your companions get up close and personal (which felt like 90% of all mage gameplay in previous Dragon Age titles).
