Dragon Age: The Veilguard Patch Fixes 40 Bugs, Glitches
Weeks after release, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is receiving a third patch filled with fixes.
While initial sales make it unlikely that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will outsell Dragon Age: Inquisition, andour review describes it as a “solid experience,“as new patches are released and more content is added to the base game, it will find an audience. Coming in below the sales of other RPGs likeDragon’s Dogma 2andLike A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, it still sold well enough to become EA’s most successful Steam Release.
Player Choices Revealed
Some of the best parts of any BioWare RPG are the different choices you get to make and Dragon Age: The Veilguard is no exception. BioWare revealed that half of the players never petted Assan, while only a third played Rock, Paper, Scissors with Manfred, and over half of the community decided the best way to handle the First Warden was a solid right hand to the jaw. Other choices, including a climatic one towards the end of the game were also highlighted, but while the choice of companions for different story events may be divisive,nothing will tear apart the fanbase like the reveal of the most popular romance options.The most popular is Neve, while the least popular is Emmrich, but that won’t stop social media from arguing over who’s the best.
