I actually like Veilguard better. Dreadwolf kind of implied that Solas will be the main crux of the story, but we already know that there will be a different (and probably) bigger threat. My prediction is that the Veilguard will be the new (major? or shadowy?) organisation in the lore, created to uphold the veil, akin to the Inquisition in the previous title. Hence the name of the game.

I definitely think they should’ve just went with “Dragon Age: Veilguard”rather than “The Veilguard”. The name just seems awkward, especially when you consider that “Dragon Age: Inquisition”, the other game referencing the important organization of the game, does not have a “The” despite it being referred to as “The Inquisition” in-game. Still not too late BioWare. Just saying 😂 Anyway, I’m so excited for this. I’m gonna be honest, I started playing this series when I was 8 years old with Dragon Age: Origins. Way too young, but it got me hooked on the RPG genre ever since. Been a long time since middle school when Dragon Age Inquisition came out. I just graduated college! It’ll be quite a moment legally buying the newest Dragon Age game with my own grown-up money.

My guess for possible companion factions in DAtV (like I preferred DAD, but it's not the worst) is a Tevinter (seeing as we already got a Magister, I'm kind of hoping for representation of the Imperial Chantry), Mortalitasi, Kal-Sharok dwarf, Grey Warden, Antivan Crow, one of those Rivaini treasure hunters, and someone from the Qun. However, I wouldn't be surprised if one was a Dalish (or even Arlathan) elf. Keep eyes on that Mortalitasi and elf y'all, they'll probably stab us in the back

The name change is growing on me (but I will also be ignoring that 'the') I'm intrigued by the drop from 3 party members to 2. Feels very Mass Effect. I am kinda sad that it'll mean less 3way banter, but here's hoping the duo system does give us more party banter because in theory it'd be easier to write for pairs than trios anyway. As for factions, here's my take: 1. Grey Warden is all but confirmed from that leaked gameplay at Weisshaupt 2. Bound to have an Antian Crow in there 3. Someone hailing from Tevinter, be they mage, or I feel more likely is an uprising slave. More party drama that way. 4. Going off some of the short stories from Tevinter Nights, we might have a Lord of Fortune 5. Some sort of Qunari. Or perhaps a Fog Warrior 6. Need us a dwarf in the mix, especially after the revalations of The Descent DLC 7. Someone from Nevarra, perhaps even a Mortalitasi?

Dreadwolf is much more a direct continuation from where we were left of after Trespasser dlc and Tevinter Nights book. Veilguard hints/promises that the player will go into and experience a perspective that can be played as a stand alone while those that have played the older games (as well as those new that are curious about the larger world and larger story arc) have things to latch on to.

Solas as an Elven God was ...underwhelming. Unless there was an extremely complex plot to manipulate events he seemed to play second fiddle to Mythal. Whose manipulation of Morrigan was worthy of...respect if not admiration. The plotline about Solas' involvement in the creation of the Fade seemed utterly laughable. That he's the one going to destroy it? It doesn't make sense. More like he's working for someone, or some group. Doing their bidding instead of acting unilaterally. The Fade is the best part of the game. Mysterious, opulent and tricky. Getting rid of it should sound grave like telling people you're going to get rid of dreams ...or death. How plausible does that sound? Solas never seemed diabolical enough. I'm glad of the change.

Tbf, the point of us getting to know Solas as a person rather than a god is to show he is not diabolical, that he is flawed, and that like our protagonists, the legend around him grew out of something more real. Solas does not want to destroy the Fade; he wants to remove the Veil he created to imprison the other gods (who are implied to have been Blighted) and merge the Fade back with the material world to restore the elves' immortality and power.

@@pilotg2075 Merging the Fade with the real world would, I think, destroy its current iteration. Would there be the same ...existential malleability that we always encountered in previous "adventures" in the Fade? The "will" in the Fade: the accomplishing of one's desire, was a lyrical and intuitive interaction between one's self and the transformation and transportation of the self. Unlike in normal reality where the accomplishing of one's desire is mediated by the acquisition of wealth and political power through friendship or murder of others or the exploitation of skill or the Natural and magical world. This "will" is less immediate and less tangible; whereas in the Fade the "will" is more immediate and tangible. It takes more "knowledge" in the real world to accomplish things, than it does in the Fade. In the Fade you just need desire. In the words of Roald Dahl in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Charlie got the golden ticket because he "wanted" it more. Not because of statistical "factors". Just so, the reveal of Solas as an Elven God, who has supposedly lived for thousands of years, presents him not as a polymath filled with arcane and inscrutable insight into many things; but as a reactionary filled with doubt and uncertainty about the world he finds himself in. I suppose it could be an act, but what was the purpose of the act? To defeat Corypheus without giving himself away? I thought he was involved with a plot involving Corypheus? Was Corypheus his friend, his unwitting tool, an enemy? Howso? Howso if Solas is just like "one of us"?
