    What Happened to Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

    BioWare's latest single-player RPG has landed after years, and despite fun in some areas, it's several degrees short of exceptional.

    A certain vapidness seeps into everything Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers. It's easy to define between lines like, "Who's the Greyest Warden", or scenes like Bellara hitting an artifact out of frustration (which probably meant to be cute. I'm still not sure). You can see it in how cleanly segmented each character's questlines and backstories are from each other and, to a large degree, the main plot. Or how the rude dialogue options for Rook don't match what's actually said.

    It's apparent in the loot, which auto-upgrades everything you find to match your Caretaker rank - convenient yet removing any uniqueness or discovery in favor of "+1"s and rarity upgrades. On a baser level, it's visible in the number of usable abilities each character has - three per, with one Ultimate for Rook. It's not like combat can't be fun or there aren't any decent interactions or characters in the game.
