Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche reveals that BioWare wants the new RPG to be massive - so much so, in fact, that its beginning is even bigger than Inquisition's ending was.
Speaking in an interview with Edge, Busche delves into just how impressive the upcoming Dragon Age entry's opening sequence is - going as far as comparing it to the series' previous games' finales. "We wanted the prologue to feel like the finale of any other game we've done. Where it puts you right into this media-res attack on a city and gets you really invested in the action and the story right away."
Busche then refers back to Inquisition and its own explosive ending - one I still look back to myself, Breach and all. "When I think back to Inquisition, how the sky was literally tearing open," the director explains, "the impact of [Solas'] ritual really makes that look like a minor inconvenience." If that's not telling, I'm not sure what is - and judging from the gameplay reveal, The Veilguard's prologue is as big as Busche says it is.
The director's comparison here is especially exciting considering how your choices in Inquisition may influence the beginning of The Veilguard as it pulls your protagonist in from the third game. There's not long left to wait until the fourth Dragon Age drops and we learn how it all plays out in-game, either - fall is just around the corner now. Until then, I'm going to go and boot Inquisition back up yet again for another refresher on that finale.
