Dragon Age: The Veilguard is shaping up to have some of the RPG series' best quality-of-life features, and fans think they're "fantastic"
Pause cutscenes, respec skill points, and transmog to your hear�ꩵ�t's content

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: The Veilguard may end up standing the test of time as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs to come from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioWare yet, with various quality-of-life improvements 💜over the series' past entri꧋es.
Speaking in a Q&A on , The Veilguard's lead developers dive into some of these - and from mid-cutscene pausing to skill point respecs, there's a lot to look forward to. As creative director John Epler explains, "life happens" - so players should be able to comfortably leave and pick back up as neede♋d.
"You can pause every cutscene in the game," he reveals. "Obviously, life happens … my cat might be throwing up in the next room and I need to find a way to get her off the carpet and onto, you know, not the carpet - so you can pause any cutscene and♍ conversation." Sadly, the game doesn't have any dialogue history to look back to - but with pausing, there's less of a need to do so anyway. That's not the only quality-of-life feature mentioned, either.
Players can comfortably experiment with builds and skill point configurations as they can respec - all at no cost, according to director Corinne Busche. "Refund all [at] no cost. It's an entirely friendly refund system. Go experiment, and then let me know wha𝄹t you do." Busche describes how you can "respect at any time," so "you might be a Death Caller one moment and another specialization on the ⛄next encounter."

For all of us fashion-first fans, The Veilguard features an expansive transmog system. "Y'all know, fashion's the true end game," jokes Busche. "Any piece of gear you find is also going to unlock the appearance for that gear" - so at any point while you're playing, you can swap the way that your equipped g🅰ear looks to any other piece you've found previously. "You'll also find some appearance-only cosmetics that are specifically used just for transmog."
I can't wait to assemble fancy fits myself and explore some of these quality-of-life additions in-depth, and I'm not alone. A rec🐲ent 🍰thread shares fans' reactions to the Q&A, and the hype for the "fantastic" features in The Veilguard is real. "I think I speak for all dog owners that being able to pause cutscenes is the most exciting info," reads one comment. Another fan calls the ability to respec "the single biggest" revelation.
"I legit restarted whole 30-hour DAI playthroughs multiple times because I wasn't liking a certain spec or just wanted to try something new," they write. Elsewhere, someone shares a similar sentiment: "I'd rather not have to🍨 backup a save or create another character if I want to try another build." Responses to the Q&A also mention transmogs in The Veilguard, too - my own personal highlight. "The freedom of armor looks with a transmog system is amazing!"

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications s🍌ince her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sorꦺt, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
