Dragon Age Veilguard: COMPLETE BREAKDOWN - Character Creator, Combat, Gameplay, & MORE! 

The minute they said 'a mysterious figure can help with customization', I shouted 'Enchantment?!' 😂

If Sandal's ENCHANTMENT is back its already Game of the Year.

God, getting to stop Solas as a Grey Warden would literally be the funniest option imaginable-

It feels so surreal that after 10 years, we are finally getting so much information about this game. I'm all aboard the hype train

People should give BioWare a chance here. It seems like they are really trying to listen to fan feedback after what happened with Anthem. No online, completely single player, unique origins, and a robust character creator.

BioWare releasing a completely offline, no-EA-App, no Microtransaction game in 2024 feels like a big deal, like, they're really really trying

You just know that Solas was rocking a Mullet when he had hair.

there is no greater joy then to wake up in the morning and seeing the DA fandom thriving again after all this time thank you for the breakdown of all the information!! ❤

Worried that they have yet to answer the most important question: Where is Sandal???

I hope they drop the character creator as a demo like dragons dogma and saints row

They did actually mention that your companies won’t leave because they understand how important the cause is.

i’m glad to be seeing more positivity surrounding Veilguard, i unfortunately was not completely sold on it at first..but after this extra info along with the gameplay trailer, i’m now in a state of cautious optimism which i anticipate will grow more optimistic and less cautious. still some things i wish were different - Neve is not one of them lol - but i look forward to seeing more, i want this game to do really well. thank you for always bringing the Dragon Age and Mass Effect goods here on YT; it's clear that you put so much into it!

This is the best roundup of all the latest info that I’ve seen on RU-vid. Thank you!

A tall dwarf should definitely be capped though to be short enough to still be a drwaf

I’m new to the DA franchise since the Veilguard announcement, currently playing Inquisition and having a lot of fun, you have been my principal source of information, thank you for these videos!

"...customize your bulge size." I'm sold!

Thank you so much for this video! It’s a really good compilation of all the new info we’ve been hit with over the last few days, I am SO excited…. Finally the 10 year wait is almost over 🎉🎉🎉

What a feast of information over the past week. Thank you for compiling it all into a comprehensible video!

really hyped to finally experience Dragon Age again...played it way back when I was still a teenager (16) and had to replay all of it again recently to refresh my memory. Veilguards trailer was amazing, I'm kind of surprised that some people thought different. Looking forward to finally see Solas and Varric, thank you for this Video!

Awesome breakdown! Glad to see someone talking about the game without all the negativity. Keep up the great work!

the feast we have been given these past two weeks is crazy 🎉

MARY KIRBY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS, TRUST AND BELIEVE WE WILL LOSE OUR MINDS IF WE DO NOT SEE YOU CREDITED.

Oh thank god (or should I say the Maker) for the "not having Rook die ever" option. I love RPGs for the stories but im so bad at combat, specially ATC! This makes me so happy so I can focus on the plot!

That i can play it Offline without EA App requirement makes me super happy.

Great video! RU-vid is literally my only source of information so I’m really glad you took the time and summarised everything we know so far on this game! Really looking forward to it and can’t wait to see more of your videos!

You do such a great job organizing and clarifying large amounts of information. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us.

thank you SO much for all the hard work you do for the community Kala!!

Enchantments! Wait....Dagna? Will we have TWO adorable dwarf maidens among us?

Thank you for taking all that info from ALL those sources and putting it together for us! ❤

thank you SO MUCH for all the work putting this flood of information together. my head has been spinning since sunday DX

Yes! Enchantment! Sorry, couldn't help myself. I watched it, and it was good news.

Not gonna lie, the promise of loads of hair style options has me, but I still can't forgive them for shrinking the party from four to three.

We are so back

The content creator that has covered this by far the longest is gamermd83, 13 years, of both Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Her channel went on hyatus until this trailer after which she made two long videos which can be found under the Live tab. She was close to BioWare. She's gotten interviews no other content creator was able to secure during Mass Effect's prime. They know her on a first name basis. Those videos have since been unlisted. They talk about design. She is from Southern California. Then she moved to Canada and got married to a BioWare lead. I did not watch her two videos to get her reaction because of my unfamiliarity with Dragon Age. But you might be interested.

Thank you for this video! I was curious what questions were asked, really can't wait for more info about Veilguard! Also really happy Inquisitor will back, I hope he will be on screen more not little. 😁 I wish Hawke would also back, but I understand we shouldn't expect it in Veilguard.

So... Mary Kirby wrote two main characters in this game and was then dropped like a hot brick. Classy.

tall dwarf now that’s hilarious

Thanks for compiling all of this! All of it sounds promising and exciting! I just hope it translates well to our screens

All of this looks very promising! thank you for not feeding into the hate. I think there's a lot to be excited about here.

The way I cackled when Mike responded to my comment about Solas’ wall painting 😭😭

"Solas released Evanuris." Hahah pretty sure Rook released them. It's again case of player character doing something they weren't supposed to thus unleashing some disaster. Rook destroyed two statues and what do you know .. two Evanuris appeared in front of Solas.

I tried to pretend to not be excited but I failed, dragon age is all I care about now!

thank you for the content you create for this community ❤️

I read somewhere that this game will take place 10 years after trespasser - I hope we get a ton of juicy stuff to fill that void as well :)

Thumbs up Kala, well done. Lots of info. So looking forward to the character creator.

Great video, thanks for all the info! I'm really hoping we don't have too limited options for the tarot cards.

The more i know about this game the more excited i am. This looks amazing. Love that all the fetch quest that filled Inquisition are gone.

I can't make the dev talk so appreciate this video. I think I am now all caught up on Dragon Age :D

Damn, could the fall already come? 😍

Let’s goooo! Looking forward to this breakdown, thanks for creating it

If you're making a "tall" dwarf, you've no business making a Dwarf.

This was such a great collection of all the news that's been coming out. Thanks so much for putting this together and sharing with us!

Enchantment? Enchantment!

Great video as always can always rely on you to catch me up on news

I love that Bioware still cares deeply about lore and character continuity in their games.

I’m excited about the game now. I’ve been thinking about the combat system, the affinity system, the role playing and I think I see promise in every aspect. It looks good. It looks like the devs were paying attention to what worked and what didn’t work or what they could have done better. Then they took what worked from all of the games, mixed them in and let it cook for a decade. I’m excited that my Inquisitor will get some closure…I hope. Also I’m excited to create my inquisitor with a better character creator…

thanks! I'm sold

Thank you for existing :) you always explain the best and the most and serve all the necessary information with picture for us to understand. So thank you for all your hard work 💚

omg you're my hero for compiling all this in one place, thank you for your service Captain. Dragon Age has never looked so good.

I hope my Warden will start with the Warden armor

Really disappointing that the keep isn't being used anymore. Tons of wasted digital infrastructure. It actually worked really well as a way to revisit your 3-game-long adventure.

I already have my ace romance (Josephine, because she doesn't have a spicy cutscene) but I won't say no to more!

It really feels like the devs did their best to make this game everything the fans were hoping for. The ten years were more than worth. Thank you so much, to everyone who created this game and allow us to live more adventures in Thedas.

I feel like it makes sense to have a release date announcement next Tuesday for the special magazine edition, unless there's something I'm missing. I also just want to be able to decide if this is the game where I finally just buy a collector's edition so it would be nice to get more information on pre-orders etc

I can't wait till fall to play this gem

Thank you Kala for everything you do for the community! 💜

Thank you for all this information. I hope they bring back the Ranger specialization.

All the stuff with hair physics and makeup is my jam. I spend so much time with that stuff and any excuse to see where they advanced the looks, I'm here for that. Especially because I also have longer hair, having good-looking hair bounce and volume would be great...

I said this on one of your previous videos but I can’t stress enough how glad I am they’re not using Dragon Age Keep again. NEVER got that to work in all 3 of my runs and it sucks not having that lore development in the game, it may be small but I still like seeing and hearing the choices made in previous games. Also, I really think this game is getting too much and unnecessary hate. Story looks good, art style look Dragon Age to me, and gameplay looks good from what I saw in the gameplay video. But I suppose, to each their own.

I am excited to hear about the lighting. It's always been a problem in the Bioware CC. You spend all your time making the world's hottest Shep, then they sit up from their hospital bed in-game and it's like YEEEEESH what have I done?! Resumable banter, fuck yeah! I loved that about God of War.

kala doing the lords work ❤

Thanks for the video, great breakdown!

I just noticed taash has a crystal horn

So excited, thank you for the great video!!

If I remember right in origins there had been 4 blights already meaning that by the end of the game 5 of the Old gods had been destroyed leaving 3 remaining potential Archdeamons. The events at the beginning of Valeguard seem to indicate that 2 of them are released and according to Chantry lore they would not be corrupted by the blight since they were not awakened by the Dark Spawn. This would be a great setup for a game that deals with the Final Blight.

I'm honestly okay not using the Keep to bring my options over to The Veilguard. The mods I use on my canon Solavellan are not working properly so I'm probably gonna have to finish the game without them. Having the opportunity to build her in The Veilguard is far more appealing to me, especially since the Character Creator sounds like it's going to be vast with options.

I like that they can romance between themselves because the amount of time and effort I had to put so Dorian and Ironbull could end up together was exhausting but worth it.

The keep *cannot* go away because you can't play Inquisition properly without it.

i want closure with my warden

I hope i get all your notifications, love how you breakdown content.

Tysm for this vid!❤

Thank you for this video!

Let’s see. I did male city elf rouge for origins. Funny Female mage Hawke. Male qunari mage inquisitor. I gotta do a dwarf now. Thinking female warrior. Either grey warden or veil jumper just based on what we know right now. Tried playing dwarf in the other ones but I could never make them look good

Thanks Kala! This is thorough and very well defined. Subbed and dubbed.

Every Dragon Age game's prologue has a fight against a Large Lad. Origins has the ogre at the end of Ostagar, DA2 you fight the ogre first in Varric's exaggeration and then for real, Inquisition you fight the Pride Demon.

It does sound amazing and promising ! I just have mixed feelings about the devs admitting there WILL be losse ends (like who we left in the Fade in Inquisition). I was kind of hoping to get closure for all the characters.

The more they reveal the more I feel this is basically Dragon Age 2 : Veilguard. A better no repeating dungeon Dragon Age 2

Great vid. Can't wait for this game

Great Video!

I am big Dragon Age fan, putting thousands of hours into the games, books and comics. While this gameplay looks much better than a trailer, i still have concerns around 3 person party, 3 skills (why give us such an extensive skill tree if we cannot use it), and i am still not totally sold on the art style (Varric and Solas look weird, while Neve and Harding look amazing…). Hopefully the story and companions deliver. Bioware really needs a win.

ENCHANTMENT

The more info that trickles out, the more intriguing I find this...definitely interested in seeing more gameplay that is more actual release quality...looking forward to more of your videos, as I'm slowly starting to work out what faction/backstory, etc., as well as projected romance partner once the game drops. Still not quite at the point where I'm going to be picking it up Day 1, unless Steam also has a sale on it, but no question I'll be playing it.

Maybe I'm naive, or just extremely hopeful, but I'm really excited about Veilguard - especially that my Inquisitor won't just be a hollow footnote, but will have a real role. I was afraid it would be different.. I really like what I'm hearing, especially when it comes to the interaction between the respective companions and Rook - I love when games show a bond, a friendship that grows and is honest, and not just a bunch of mindless shadows stumbling around with me. Do I think it will be perfect? ​​Nah, but who wants perfection when I have fun and enjoy it?

Great breakdown video. I'm so excited for The Veilguard.

I get to romance Harding- this already sounds like the best game of the year for me

I'm glad that Dragon Age is back, but it seems like they took an interesting part from BG3. Instead of keeping some of the core elements of Dragon Age overall, not just from Dragon Age: Origins, I'm hearing a lot about romance. People are discussing who they can romance or what they can romance, or how big they can make certain things. The overall game now seems more linear instead of offering open-world exploration. Wouldn't it have been better to utilize the extra spicy stuff over a narrative and really explore the world around us and the effects of what’s going on?

MORE BANTER YES🎉 I swear Inquisition was few and far between😭

This gave me some much needed reassurance after having been a little underwhelmed my the trailers. Thanks for covering

So OUR CHARACTER releases the Evanauris? GREAT

The way Kala says bulge size 😂
