Dear Dragon Age Developers
I have really enjoyed the Veilguard game, I have gone back and done all the romance options with male characters falling in love with the female characters, I did the Harding romance with a dwarf. I have 2 more romance options left: the grey warden and the antivan crow. I have streamed almost every faction I am currently doing the last faction,the Veil Jumpers. I would have one request for the next game, can you add the ability to swim and a restriction on how far you can go. Thanks for making this game more interesting and challenging.The Future of Dragon Age: A Passionate Plea from a Veteran Fan
Dear EA and BioWare Teams, I know that Dragon Age: The Veilguard received mixed reactions from the fanbase. It left many people genuinely sad, while others simply resorted to unnecessary internet hate. The game has its flaws, but it also got many things right. The gameplay, for instance, is fun and engaging, though I believe players should have more freedom to utilize abilities—both our own and those of our companions. Furthermore, it would be amazing to return to a traditional 4-member squad, or even 5 during specific story missions. I also believe it is fundamental to bring back something like the Dragon Age Keep. Having all our past choices recorded and actively mattering is what made this franchise a true choice-driven RPG in the past. My honest suggestion would be to treat The Veilguard as a spin-off and remake the original vision for Dreadwolf. Everything showcased in the official art book looks infinitely superior and more cohesive than what we ultimately received. You have a unique opportunity to attract new fans while deeply satisfying the veteran player base. To us, choices are everything. We need decisions that profoundly impact the world around us and alter the course of the narrative. We don't want all party members to always get along perfectly. They should have diverse dynamics—they should be able to dislike each other, argue, or even heavily clash with the protagonist. We miss serious, complex, and extreme dialogue options where companions can genuinely disapprove, fight, or form rivalries with the player. Companion quests also need to be stronger and more mature, delivering deeply developed stories. Diversity is and always will be an incredible thing, but the implementation of gender-neutral pronouns in The Veilguard felt shallow. If these themes are to be explored in the future, they should be written with real depth and organic integration into the lore. Take as many years as you need, but please make a grand-scale game happen. Dragon Age has the potential to be the biggest RPG franchise in the world. With the right narrative weight, we can once again achieve Game of the Year status, just as Inquisition did. I also ask that you focus heavily on romances, making them more mature, serious, and strictly M-rated (18+) to foster genuine emotional attachment. While the freedom to romance anyone is a great feature, the dialogue must uniquely change and adapt depending on whether it is a same-sex or opposite-sex relationship. Your official art book already contains the blueprint for what needs to be done. Bring back characters from Origins and Dragon Age II, even if only for minor cameos. Return the franchise to its dark, gritty, and serious tone. Tone down the constant jokes and let humor be specific to certain characters rather than a baseline for everyone. The politics and lore of Thedas deserve that level of maturity. Make something grand. Dragon Age deserves to be an industry benchmark, offering a high replay value where choices fundamentally rewrite the experience across hundreds of hours. Bring back betrayal mechanics—where companions can betray you over romance, abandon the party to ally with enemy factions, or face you as bosses later down the line. Please deliver the cohesive continuation we have been waiting for since the end of Inquisition. Regarding the art direction, I suggest moving toward a more realistic style or something akin to Baldur's Gate, as The Veilguard felt a bit too cartoonish. On a positive note, the hair physics and models were outstanding—keep that system and expand it with even more options for the different playable races. I am imploring you to take action. This message represents what we, the fans, truly want. Please, do not let Dragon Age die. I love this franchise; it helped me through some very dark times in my life. I only ask that you try for us. Just like Mass Effect, Dragon Age deserves another chance, even if you have to hand the development over to another trusted studio under your umbrella. Improve the romance systems, the party dynamics, and let both past and current choices carry real weight. We would love to see our past heroes return alongside their romantic partners, even if only for a single, meaningful scene showing them being affectionate, protective, and loving toward one another. I would give anything to see my Inquisitor and Dorian reuniting, kissing, smiling at each other, and standing side-by-side in battle if necessary. You have the opportunity to create the greatest RPG with the richest lore in the world. Please, make it happen. Sincerely, Gabriel https://youtu.be/6hYocL1UNOo?si=ZMC-zxk3oh0Pa-NjProblem launching the game from the EA App.
Hi! I'm writing because I just bought the game and am having trouble launching it, and none of the solutions I've found online so far have helped. I have the game installed on the EA App. When I press the "Launch" button, the game loads from the App for the next two or three seconds ("Launching game..."), and then... absolutely nothing happens. The app disappears from the screen for a moment, only to reappear shortly afterward, at which point I can try to launch it again. I’ve attached a video showing exactly what this looks like for a better illustration. Here are the solutions I've tried so far: - running the game as an administrator - running the game directly from the .exe file (in the folder) - entering commands in "advanced launch options" such as: > -dx11; -dx12; d3d11 (if I remember correctly); -windowed; and similar - clearing the shader file - repairing the game in the EA App - uninstalling and reinstalling the game - clearing the "cache" file in the EA App - I changed the settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel - I updated the drivers on my computer - I checked to see if my antivirus software was blocking the game from launching - I ran the game in compatibility mode with other versions of Windows My hardware specifications: - Operating system: Windows 10 Pro, version 10.0.19045 - Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F - RAM: 32.0 GB - Storage: > HDD - 1.8 TB > SSD - 465.8 GB - Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 I also tried moving the game to an SSD, but I don't have enough free space. Since the middle of last year, my girlfriend and I have been playing through every part of the game one by one, including all the expansions, and nothing like this has ever happened before. I really want to find ANY solution so that I can enjoy this part of Dragon Age as well, especially since we just finished the "Tresspasser" expansion for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Thanks in advance for any help <3No way to connect my EA account?
I've had the game installed for a little while and finally sat down to play it but noticed there's no way to link my game with my EA account nor will it show up in my EA library. Saw some people say to check settings under "other" but I can't see anywhere to link my account. I might just be blind but any help would be appreciated!
Remove dragon age veil guard from my library
This game was so bad plus I can't even play it cuz it crashes every 5 minutes. I'm on an Xbox series X, It shouldn't be crashing. How to remove it off my EA play account? It's also not even in my library it's like offering me to spend $6.99 a month in order to play it, and I can't remove it off my personal library lol
PS5 Veilguard, no HDR
When I open the graphics settings, only brightness and contrast are available in the settings, not HDR configuration. I saw another message here where the player was able to fix it by forcing HDR in PS5 settings, but that doesn’t work for me. I am able to use HDR in other games, so it’s not an issue with my PS5/TV connection.A heartbreak for a long-time fan (Review after 4 runs)
l've been playing Dragon Age since the begining and l've loved it deeply. But "The Veilguard" has left me bitterly disappointed. It feels more like a linearjump-and-run than a true RPG. The world feels restricted-where are the secrets and the real exploration? The dialogues are the biggest letdown. Dragon Age was about consequences, Dut here, feels like Coesn't matter what I lick it all leads to the same outcome. The "kick" is gone. And the omances? They feel rushed and shallow with way too little interaction. Returning characters like Morrigan are shockingly "nice" and have lost their edge. Seeing Varric die and Dorian only as a cameo feels like a slap in #h2 face for veterans. We waited so long for this? The new characters like Taash and Lucanis have so much potential, but the game doesn't let them shine because everything is "fast- paced" and simplified. The graphics and controls are great, but the soul of Dragon Age-the dark lore and the tough choices--is missing. I hope the next game returns to the roots of the Chantry, Cassandra, and the grit that made this series legendary. Constructive Criticism and Story Potential for Dragon Age: The Veilguard As a long-time fan of the series, I see a lot of untapped potential in the storytelling and the handling of established characters. Here are my suggestions on how the depth and "grit" of the predecessors could have been preserved: 1. Blackwall and the Grey Wardens: Blackwall is a character who never truly "fell" but simply went into hiding. He could have been brilliantly reintroduced as the "true" First Warden. A thrilling plot twist would have been to expose the current First Warden in The Veilguard as an impostor and a liar who is keeping the real Blackwall imprisoned somewhere. This would have massively strengthened the moral complexity of the Warden lore. 2. Dorian Pavus and the Leadership of Minrathous: Dorian is one of the strongest characters in the series, but unfortunately, he is wasted here as a mere supporting character (cameo). In Inquisition, it was hinted that he wanted to reform Tevinter. He should have acted as a shadow regent, leading Minrathous in secret. Using him only as a "placeholder" does not do justice to his potential. 3. Morrigan and the "Old Edge": Morrigan seems far too friendly and "softened" in this installment. Fans expect a certain level of aloofness and sharpness from her. It would have been narratively much more satisfying if the player had to win her over again through hard persuasion, rather than having her be so accommodating from the start. 4. Leliana and Harding's Development: The question arises: Where is the master spy Leliana? She could have been shown in "retirement," from which she must first be laboriously recruited. This would have provided a wonderful bridge to Harding: Instead of simply presenting Harding as an active member, a questline could have shown her being commissioned by Leliana. Through contact with a lyrium dagger, Harding could have undergone her own outstanding character development that leaves a lasting impact on her. 5. Cassandra and the Traces of the Chantry: Cassandra could have been reintegrated through the lore—perhaps via a questline where the player follows her trail while she investigates the history of the Chantry or the Seekers. This would have deepened the sense of world-building. 6. Varric: Fate After Death: Varric is the face of the series. His death in The Veilguard carries great weight. A fascinating possibility would have been to include him as a spirit (similar to Cole). Trapped between life and final death in the Fade, he could have continued to accompany us as a melancholic mentor. Conclusion: The graphics and controls are successful, but the soul of Dragon Age lies in hard consequences and edgy characters. I hope that future content returns more to these roots.DA Veilguard from a longtime player to Devs
I’ve got to say it straight: Dragon Age: The Veilguard is easily the best the series has ever been, and it blows Inquisition out of the water in all the ways that actually matter. Don't worry about the sales and review bombing please keep making Dragon Age games for the real players in the house. Rook is a massive upgrade as a protagonist—more defined, more emotionally grounded, and far more connected to the story. They don’t just exist to react to plot beats; they shape them. Their personality, their choices, and their relationships give the whole narrative a clarity and momentum that Inquisition never managed. The companions are on another level too—deeper, sharper, more memorable, and actually essential to the narrative instead of just orbiting around the main plot. Their arcs feel more meaningful, their interactions feel more natural, and they each bring something distinct to the story. The questlines are tighter and far more engaging. No more wandering through giant empty zones doing chores. The more focused structure gives the game a stronger sense of purpose and makes every area feel intentional and alive. Combat is a massive upgrade. It’s faster, cleaner, and just more fun. And mages? They’ve never felt this good. Finally powerful, fluid, and satisfying to play instead of clunky or underwhelming. The factions are all distinct and genuinely interesting, each with its own identity and purpose. The villains are nuanced and tied deeply into the lore, and the way Veilguard connects everything back to the history of Thedas is honestly impressive. It explains so much of what came before without feeling like a lore dump. And of course, Solas. Love him or hate him, he’s one of the most complex, well‑crafted characters in the entire Dragon Age universe. Veilguard only reinforces how layered he is—his motivations, his contradictions, his history, all of it. Few characters in the series have that level of depth or narrative weight. And look—let the haters hate. I’ve played every Dragon Age game. Dragon Age II was my favorite for years. I know this series. A lot of people still look at Origins through nostalgia‑fogged glasses, remembering a version of it that never really existed. Veilguard earns its praise because it’s actually doing the work, not because it’s coasting on old memories. And honestly, the fandom needs to support games like this. If we want more story‑driven, character‑focused RPGs, we have to show it. Otherwise we’re going to keep getting the same copy‑paste open‑world clones or yet another “MMORPG” nobody asked for. Veilguard is the kind of game that deserves to thrive so studios keep making experiences with this level of heart and craft. For me, Veilguard is the most confident, most focused, and most emotionally resonant Dragon Age yet. It’s everything I love about the series, but sharper, smarter, and finally free of the open‑world bloat that held Inquisition back.Shout out to EA
Shout out to EA for making bioware release a game before it was ready. Im not even mad at bioware for dragon age veilguard. I know they had plans to make it so much better and actually match the rest of the franchise. Bit, EA is so money hungry that they just want to push out unfinished products so that people get all disappointed and mad at the game itself for being such a let down. You suck, EA. Seriously. Why wont you let people finish their games? I waited like 10 years for this game to come out just to be frustrated. The ending was absolutely trash. The writing was poorly written. It was so obviously unfinished. It felt like a bunch of rough drafts smashed together in order to make a deadline because that's exactly what it is. The combat is crap. Even on story difficulty im getting spammed like crazy. Can't dodge roll because the hit boxes are so massive I could be feet away from the enemy and still get knocked down. Then you get 4 reavers in one battle while their all spamming the same 3 moves over and over again. The romances are crap. Most of the plot made no sense. Like the Harding thing. Why go through all those quests with her having those unique powers all for them not to be used at all. You get one whole kiss scene with a love interest and at the end of the game you dont even get a celebration scene. It just fades to black. Seriously? The only entertaining part in the whole game was Solas turning into the wolf, and the only reason that was kept was because it was in the trailer, otherwise EA would've mostly likely had them change that too. Like they changed everything else. Like bro, let bioware cook. They dont need your bullcrap or your deadlines. I love bioware, but I'm beginning to hate EA. Between this is and the Sims, you guys are failing so badly I'm surprised you are even profiting. Good luck in the future, because there are a lot of people like me, ready to drop EA completely and never spend another dime on your trash. K, thanks bye. Hope you have the lives you deserve!Dragon Age Veilguard Load errors...nothing works ;-;

Is anyone else Missing there blood dragon armor after preordering Veilguard?
I fired up Veilguard for the first time yesterday after preordering it, and right away I noticed I was missing my Blood Dragon Armor. My Deluxe items were there, but the preorder bonus was not. I did the usual, repair game then uninstall-reinstall which did not work. I contacted Steam support first, since that’s the platform it's on, but they told me they don’t handle in-game items and to reach out to EA instead. Now after talking to EA, a few minutes ago, I found out the game never actually synced properly to my EA account. That’s why the armor didn’t unlock. And because Veilguard isn’t showing up in their system as tied to my EA account, they told me there’s nothing they can do. I am not sure what to do next as Steam says it’s not their responsibility, EA says they can’t fix it, and I’m stuck in the middle, with out the item. I will tell you this, that Veilguard is the first and last game I will preorder from EA
Dragon Age VeilGaurd and what to hope for a new Dragon age game
I finally played and beat the game. I was kind of disappointed in the ending I was really hoping that Rook and their partner would get married or something and help the Warden’s still take down the blight and dark spawn that was left or continuing to help get rid of the Antam and Venatori that still was lurking around. I would have loved more Romance scenes with all the characters that Rook can fall in love with. If there is a new dragon age coming out I would LOVE to see Lucanis in it as a character that you can still romance with. He is my favorite character in this game. Definitely would love to have him back in a new Dragon Age with more stories about him and to romance him further.
The Fate of the Leaders of Thedas (And other characters)
Hi, everyone. Hope you’re doing well. The lack of the Dragon Age Keep (wish it was kept) made me question a myriad of things, including the fates of the characters we had met as the Grey Warden, Hawke and the Inquisitor Did we get any news regarding the fate of the leaders of Thedas in the Veilguard? And other characters we had met in the previous games? Including our former companions. Aside from Aveline and Sebastian and Sten and Marius (not a companion but was Calpernia’s former lover). I’m aware that you can get some of them killed but what exactly happened to them if you had spared them? What happened to the leaders and recruits of the Inquisition, Alistair, Anora, Loghain, Fiona, Bhelen, Harrowmont, Irving, Eamon, Isolde, Connor, Teagan, Samson, Feynriel (who goes to Tevinter if you allow him), Celene, Gaspard, Briala, Abelas, Cyril, Alexius, Calpernia, and Meredith who is somehow still alive (or dead after knowing what happened to Kirkwall in the game)? And the list goes on... Regarding Calpernia, her absence was strange since this game takes place in HER homeland of Tevinter. I can only surmise that she might’ve left the Venatori after you had exposed Corypheus’s plans to her in Inquisition. But what happened to her afterwards? I know that she almost became a companion but that’s it. So… have they all perished in the Sixth Blight or are they still alive? And most importantly, who was the Divine? Cheers
[Feedback] No Separate Aiming Inversion
Hello, this is about a basic accessibility setting that the game lacks. The game doesn't have separate inversion for the aiming, there's only two settings called simply "Invert Y-Axis" and "Invert X-Axis". I play with inverted camera and non-inverted aim and therefore need separate inversion for the aiming. The normal camera inversion also can't affect anything else, such as map scroll or lock-on target switching. There is separate sensitivity for the aiming, but not inversion. So you should add two more settings and rename the ones you have so that you have "Invert Camera Y-Axis", "Invert Camera X-Axis", "Invert Aiming Y-Axis" and "Invert Aiming X-Axis". This should be available for both mouse and controller. Again, make sure that normal camera inversion does not affect anything else.To EA Games & BioWare – Please Release the Blood Dragon Armor
Dear EA Games and the amazing team at BioWare, As long-time fans of the Dragon Age series, we’re beyond excited for the release of The Veilguard. This franchise has given us unforgettable stories, deep choices, and some of the most iconic gear in RPG history. One of those legendary pieces is the Blood Dragon Armor — a true symbol of the series. From Dragon Age: Origins to Mass Effect 2, this armor became a fan favorite for its unique design and powerful presence. That’s why we’re asking, as passionate fans: Please include the Blood Dragon Armor as a pre-order bonus in Dragon Age: The Veilguard! It would be a perfect nod to the roots of the franchise. A meaningful gift for returning fans. And a powerful marketing moment for the game's release. We’d love nothing more than to once again don that crimson armor and walk into the Fade feeling like true Wardens. Let’s honor the legacy — and carry it proudly into this new chapter. With respect and excitement, – A loyal Dragon Age fan who never forgot FereldenPre order code
Wondering if anyone that was having the issue of both the seller and ea not helping to give people the pre order items actually got it sorted. Cause I love veilguard but it's annoyed me so much that I pre ordered special for the pre order bonus and nothing, I was trying to get it for around 2 months and had no luck from either ea or seller.
