Why Are Dragon Age's Moral Dilemmas Missing in The Veilguard?

BioWare, known for world-building, storytelling, and character development, hit a snag with recent games. Now, they're back with The Veilguard, but something feels off. Where are the tough decisions that make BioWare games shine? The ones that make you question your actions and their consequences?

In Thedas, you gather a crew of friends, just like in previous Dragon Age games. But what's missing are the morally complex choices that make you think. Should you trust mages or keep them at arm's length? What do you do when a friend's actions cause harm? These decisions are what keep fans coming back. At 70 hours into The Veilguard, these tough calls seem scarce. It's disappointing because these choices are what make BioWare games memorable. They're what fuel countless replayability and a community filled with fan fiction and artwork.
