With Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s October release looming ever closer, developer BioWare continues its slow and steady stream of blog-sized info-nuggets and teases – this time revealing a little about exploration, alongside news of a photo mode.
As detailed in BioWare’s latest blog post, The Veilguard will give players the opportunity to visit and explore places around Thedas that series veterans may have “heard whispers [of] in the past”. These include Arlathan Forest, Hossberg Wetlands, Minrathous, Rivain, and Treviso – and all get their own little video tours in BioWare’s post if you’re curious to see more.
Locations in The Veilguard will, as you might expect, feature people to talk to, things to do, puzzles to solve, and lore to collect in a Codex – and all are accessed from a hub area known as The Crossroads, which includes puzzles and extra missions of its own. The Crossroads (overseen by The Caretaker) also connects to the Lighthouse, which in turn serves as the player’s base of operations during The Veilgaurd – and it’s here they’ll have one-on-one chats with companions, who each have their own rooms to decorate as the story unfolds.
