From an extensive interview with Corinne Busche, game director of Dragon Age: The Veilguardfurther details have emerged about the game, particularly regarding theopening of the game worldits structure and also the love stories with scenes of sex and nudity.
As for the openness of the world, this also depends on the way the game has been set up: it’s not an open worldbut rather a mission game, so in each of these we are sent to explore various interconnected areas but without real freedom of access anywhere and at any time.
“Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a mission-based game. Everything is handcrafted, artisanal, very refined. We believe that this is how you get the best narrative experience, the best moment-to-moment experience.” This too, therefore, abandons the totally open mechanics to return to a more closed structure, which allows greater control of the narrative by the developers and greater attention to detail.
“However, along the way, the levels we enter open up and some of them are more explorable than others”, Busche further added, “Branching alternative paths, mysteries, secrets, optional content to find and solve. So yes opens, but it’s a highly polished, mission-based game.”
Closed world divided into areas and missions, open love
For BioWare this is a return to the origins, given that the large, or semi-open, structure is a classic feature of RPGs of this type, which allows for greater guidance in the construction of quests.
Regarding romantic relationships, further clarifications were made.
In sex scenes there may be more or less explicitly visible nudity, this depends on the level of “sensuality” of the characters involved, with some proving to be more passionate than others.
As previously reported, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will allow you to have romances with all companions, regardless of gender, but it is also possible that companions have romantic relationships between themwhich can happen when, for example, we do not follow a romantic relationship with one of them, who (or which) can then decide to seek “company” in someone else.
For the rest, we refer you to all the information that emerged on Dragon Age: The Veilguard in our preview of BioWare’s strange return to the scene.
