Every Dragon Age game features a fair amount of character customization, but The Veilguard is the only title in the series that allows players to pick a faction. There are six factions to choose from in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, some of which are entirely new while others have been present in some form or another in previous games.

Dragon Age and Mass Effect didn’t always have flirt options that were labeled in the UI as flirtatious — instead, you’d have to simply keep your companion approval high and infer what counted as signaling your intentions. That was not always easy.

The Veilguard has divided Dragon Age fans. This continued at release, and now is continuing in its post-launch window. Most of the division centers around the game’s writing and narrative, which is not to the same quality level as previous Dragon Age games.
