It\u2019s no surprise that sitting down to build my Inquisitor would engender a wave of feeling for this character and the story I crafted for them a decade ago \u2014 that\u2019s, after all, the traditional emotional hook at which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2014\/11\/11\/7134385\/dragon-age-inquisition-review-ps4-xbox-one-playstation-4-pc\">the best BioWare games excel<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But it wasn\u2019t just nostalgia that had me in my feelings as I tweaked my Inquisitor\u2019s hair, face, and background details: It was the idea that while she might not be a main character anymore, her story was still going. I was nearly 30 when I played <em>Inquisition<\/em>, and now I\u2019m nearly 40. But my Inquisitor is 10 years older, too, according to when <em>Veilguard<\/em> is set \u2014 and dammit, Inquisitor Haleth Lavellan, the Herald of Andraste and Comtesse of Kirkwall, is still in the game. Literally, yes \u2014 but more importantly, <em>metaphorically<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The classic hero story is a province of young and untested adventurers, especially in the RPG style of high fantasy yarns that occupy a lot of gaming. And the story of the epic hero tries to end at Happily Ever After, usually the moment the quest objective is reached, because that\u2019s where all the narrative tension and catharsis is. It makes sense! (There are plenty of exceptions to this, but they\u2019re just that: exceptions.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But role-playing games can also be a great place to explore lifetimes of adventure, not merely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23837019\/baldurs-gate-3-review-dungeons-dragons\">That One Weird Summer I Had a Tadpole in My Head<\/a>. And in some ways, I primed myself to have a lot of feelings about older heroes and legacies when I booted up <em>Veilguard<\/em> by playing a game that\u2019s expressly <em>about<\/em> that right before. I bridged the gap between my pre-<em>Veilguard<\/em> replay of <em>Inquisition<\/em> and actually playing <em>Veilguard<\/em> (courtesy of early code from BioWare) by dipping into Worldwalker Games\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/22638600\/wildermyth-review-pc-proc-gen-worldwalker-games-strategy-mac-linux\"><em>Wildermyth<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/making-my-old-dragon-age-character-in-veilguard-hit-me-where-i-didnt-expect.jpg\" alt=\"A screencap of two characters in Wildermyth having a conversation about a \u201cfresh-faced young hero\u201d type that they know\" title=\"A screencap of two characters in Wildermyth having a conversation about a \u201cfresh-faced young hero\u201d type that they know\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"One of &lt;em&gt;Wildermyth&lt;\/em&gt;\u2019s many procedurally generated story beats\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Wildermyth<\/em> is a tactical RPG in which you play a series of procedurally generated adventures with procedurally generated (and largely customizable) teams of heroes. You follow each hero from a plucky and inexperienced adventurer through the ups and downs of a unique story designed to have the vibe of a long-running fantasy tabletop campaign. You watch your characters experience victory, loss, transformation, and for some, even love, children, and retirement in old age. Then, when their story is done, you can start up a new arc, with a new threat, and build a group that\u2019s a mix of new adventurers, veteran characters from your last game, and even the kids of your old team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I was still thinking about how strongly those legacy mechanics had endeared me to <em>Wildermyth<\/em>\u2019s comparatively thin characters when I booted up <em>Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/em> and started making my Inquisitor. It\u2019s not the first time that Dragon Age has let you build your old PC so they could appear in a new game \u2014 <em>Inquisition<\/em> surprises you with a mid-game trip to the character creator to make your own Hawke, the player character of <em>Dragon Age 2<\/em>. But with Hawke, you\u2019re picking up with them only a year or so after the uncertain conclusion of their game. There\u2019s no gap there, no invitation to ponder how it\u2019s been 10 years since the Inquisitor walked out of the Breach and pieced the fractured nations of Southern Thedas back together\u2026 and yet their story isn\u2019t over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When I and the other players in my decade-long tabletop campaign put our heads together about our characters, a frequent topic of daydreaming is imagining the lives they\u2019ll lead <em>after<\/em> we close the book on the campaign (psst, don\u2019t tell our GM, the story isn\u2019t over yet). Now, part of this is absolutely us showing our age: We\u2019re all clustered around 40, and we\u2019ve been playing characters in that Classic Fantasy Protagonist age range of About 20-About 30 all this time. We know there\u2019s a lot more life on the other side of that divide, and we want it for them, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But while I respect and support my friends who are determined that their character will settle down and get domestic, I yearn for something different. I want to know that there are more adventures in her future. With the Inquisitor, <em>Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/em> is giving me that. There was an end to the story of the Inquisition, but the Inquisitor is still here, making moves. (What kind of moves? I had to play the game to find out.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-image-compare alignnone wp-block-vox-media-image-compare\">\n<div class=\"c-image-compare__images\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/making-my-old-dragon-age-character-in-veilguard-hit-me-where-i-didnt-expect-1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/making-my-old-dragon-age-character-in-veilguard-hit-me-where-i-didnt-expect.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <\/div>\n<div class=\"c-image-compare__caption\"> Pictured, right to left: A baby, a legend.\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In the character creator, I did my best to replicate my Inquisitor\u2019s face (or at least how she might have been designed in <em>Veilguard<\/em>\u2019s smoother art style), but I also made a bunch of considered changes. More weathered skin, grayer hair, and a different cut \u2014 no more braids, she\u2019s working with a prosthetic hand now, and while she could get someone to do it for her, I see her as wanting more independence. I locked in her pivotal decisions about the Inquisition, and her romantic partner (the man every snooty human noble at the snooty human ball wanted to bang), and I picked out her voice, the low British tones of actor Alix Wilton Regan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I\u2019m intimately familiar with Regan\u2019s voice, after all the hours I poured into <em>Inquisition<\/em>, but I hit the voice test button anyway, for kicks. \u201cIt\u2019s good to see you again,\u201d said my Inquisitor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That was a cheap shot, BioWare, but it hit home.
