Each companion will have 5 main abilities, with their own player-customizable skill trees.
Fresh details about Dragon Age: The Veilguard have emerged following a Q&A session with the developers. The game's events will unfold 10 years after the last addition to Dragon Age Inquisition. The decision on who to send to Shadow in Inquisition will have no impact on The Veilguard, but may affect future projects in this universe.
- The main hub location of the game will be the Lighthouse. Players will make decisions that affect the appearance of the locations, but moving around them on horseback is not provided. The game introduces a young Solas with his hair still uncut.
- Companions can leave the squad due to disagreement with the player's choices, but will continue to defend Tedas. They will have dialogs during their travels that can be interrupted and continued later.
- The character editor will offer a choice of genital, buttock and breast size, as well as the ability to separately select the character's gender and pronouns. There will be no generic quests to collect orku items in the game, all optional quests are manually created.
- The main character's last name will depend on the chosen faction in the character editor, and his past can be created as the game progresses. Encountering characters will ask about the past, to which the player will be able to choose different answers.
- Players will be able to wear any clothing regardless of its characteristics thanks to the transmogrification and crafting system. The crafting will be assisted by some sort of essence, which the developers have not yet revealed details about.
- The developers cannot yet confirm the development of add-ons for the game, and the photo mode will apparently not appear immediately after release, although there was no clear answer about its availability. A feature to hide spider enemies has been added.
- The game will be playable without an internet connection. In The Veilguard, you'll be able to pet and hug a baby griffin, and you'll be able to hear tavern songs that will return from Inquisition.
- The skill tree will be extensive and unique to each class, however blood magic is absent from the game. The maximum character level is capped at 50. Each companion will have 5 main abilities, with their own player-customizable skill trees.
