I’m playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I finally recruited Emmrich so like ~12 hours so far?
Here’s a hot tip for people playing that I wish the game warned me about! It’s not a spoiler, but just in case: [Spoiler (click to open)] DO NOT start “A Warden’s Best Friend” quest until you have finished your side quests!!! I have mixed feelings lol I’m glad it’s not as open world as Inquisition which was a slog to get through, but I also wished there was a little more openness to it. The side quests helped alleviate my feeling of being too closed in and gave opportunity for exploration, but I wish that also applied to the main quests which felt more linear point A to point B

I do like the Veilguard companions WAY more than Inquisition - none of them stood out to me besides my #1 Dorian. I really did not connect with any of the characters in Inquisition. IMO, DA2 is still the GOAT for Dragon Age companions because they were all such messy bitches.
Ok it’s been like 10 years since I’ve engaged with Dragon Age, so I forget how region-specific this is… but I felt like there should’ve been some pushback from NPCs and companions about me being 1) an elf, 2) a mage? It’s like everything is all hunky-dory but should it be???

There should probably be more comments about character races (I'm playing a Qunari right now and not a single soul has brought it up despite the Antaam being a huge problem in this game) but Nevarra, Tevinter and Rivain at least seem to always have had more positive relations with mages.
