Considering that Dragon Age The Veilguard will be very rich in characters and dialogues, the narrative component will play a central role within the work, exactly as already seen in the previous games of the series. However, it is natural to ask if there is a canonical path for the events of the new episode.
The issue was touched upon by creative director John Epler during an interview with the portal The Gamer, explaining that Dragon Age The Veilguard will not have a real canonical storyline to follow but that everything depends on the choices and ideas that the player himself will have during the adventure. ” The question about canonicity is a question that we often get asked, especially if we start creating collateral products like comics and shows. People want to know what the canonical path is to follow. We have to decide one from a media perspective, but I don’t think there is a real canonical world “, Epler claims.
For the creative director therefore ” there is no canonical path ” to follow in the new Dragon Age , maintaining that such a concept “is very personal” and that consequently everything depends on ” how you understand the world of Thedas and what choices you have made “. A thought further underlined also by the creative performance director Ashley Barlow : ” Choose your path, choose your adventure, choose your consequences. I can’t wait to see what the players will do “, says Barlow addressing the fans.
We also know that Dragon Age The Veilguard wants to be the most romantic game ever made by BioWare , with an even more marked focus and freedom in romance than in the past. In short, it seems that the new Dragon Age will allow us to shape the canonicity of its events to our total liking.
