Dragon Age The Veilguard Wishlist (Official Thread)

---

One thing I can't stand about DAI (and I'm sure it has already been mentioned here before) is the limited amount of healing potions. I really hope DAD allows for more potions (ideally craftable everywhere like it was in DAO). One can dream, right?

Sounds a lot like hawke, the destitute ferelden refugee who has to spend a year working for shady individuals just to get into city. Though I can’t say I find notion of not being able to take down a simple ruffian as appealing.

more seriously I’ll be happy if we don’t have the equivalent of inquisition glowy mark this time round 
however I most certainly want my independence, I don’t want the main character to be a dogsbody of the inquisition.

Very much depends on their background. It's realistic for some street rat, living from bins who typically makes themselves scarce and not put up a fight when thugs come calling as it would be no contest.

By contrast a person born into a family of magic, and who is manifesting magical abilities could be more likely to handle things if it came to a fight, as would a protagonist who was either given military training, or worked their way up in the underworld by taking out their rivals.

It all comes down to experience, and personally I want my starting protagonists to be basically 'crap' at everything. If they're a Mage I want them to have serious issues controlling or even using their magic until they eventually gain experience, and for a non-mage I want them to have some ragged, statless clothes and a single weak punch and nothing else until they've worked their way up the ranks and skills via experience or training.

But that's just me. I enjoy 'rags to riches' kinds of scenario, but not everyone is into that kind of thing.

Silent protagonist ... to save money for more cut scenes ... like in BG3 ...

SOmething occured to me and I think this has desire has implications far beyond just Dragon Age but did occur to me as I was thinking about the game again.

Don't quite know the logistics behind this though I do know that even physical copies for like pre orders can come with codes to download content so there is a possibility for it to work. But my small conundrum here is that obviously I want the physical copy of the game when it releases...but on the level of impatience and other things do like the idea of being able to pre load a digital pre order that way. So, the idea is to combine the two. Even for a physical copy make it so you can still pre load the game if you pre order the game. You would need the disc to actually play it but you can still go online, enter a code, and then just have it or at least the patches loading in the meantime.

I think Origins had that for the PC version, though I'm not 100% sure it was actually pre-release?

I'd love to have a pre-release character creator for Dreadwolf though! Back when DAI released nearly 10(!) years ago, it was before a time where I really spent a load of time in character creation and just wanted to get into the story and action. My Trevelyan isn't far off one of the base templates. Changed her hair and fiddled with the eyes nose and mouth a bit to make her a bit of a "cooler" looking rogue, that's it. I didn't even put much thought into her name, as much as I really like the name I gave her - the base being Evelyn of course, shortened to Eve, then I thought for a minute "nah, Ava sounds better with the surname" and went with that, no long thought about it haha.

These days I spend a silly amount of time in character creation. Especially Elden Ring and BG3. 

I've a day off work today so doing my DD2 character and pawn once I'm home from spending some time out later. Bioware, let us do this!

I'd really like it if the Noble Human Mage is "New Money" this time around - maybe they were commoners until their parents were inducted into the Magisters about maybe 20-ish years ago?
It would be a good contrast to Blueblood Cousland or the Dwarf Noble.

I'd like to see us explore the First Blight in Dreadwolf in a way - either through flashbacks or DLC or an expansion pack.
I'd really LOVE it if they showed us how close all of Thedas was from being turned completely into dust and ash

I've been playing World at War and watching WW2 documentaries and the horrors of the eastern front or the trenches in WW1 are just so striking to me that I could easily see Thedas being like that as the Wardens played Cat & Mouse with Dumat or as they held their ground against Darkspawn.

On another note, I'd really like it more of the party members started romancing each other in Dreadwolf.
C'mon, it's bound to happen not just to the player and his LI.
Could we get a Kieran and a Female Qunari please if both are in?

I was thinking of how much I'd like a rep from the Donark region
Maybe an elf there from there?
I'm tired of Dalish Elf/City Elf/Ancient Elf - someone please without all that baggage please.
