The hardest part of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is making a choice


For sale: Egg, never beaten.

Unlike typical casters in RPGs, Veilguard ’s mages aren’t the type to stand in the back, slinging spells from relative safety while the melee classes get their hands dirty. Emmrich the necromancer and Taash the dragon hunter don’t start out with a compatible combo (through companion progression you can change that later on), but they have some of the funniest exchanges and the best relationship evolution that I only got to hear because I ignored that fact. It would have been easy to make endless jokes about “breaking a hip” because video games tend to treat older characters as fragile and sexless – someone suited only to dispense wisdom and die.
