From their deep, nuanced storytelling to their expansive, handcrafted worlds, there are many things to love about well-made roleplaying games (RPGs). For me, though, one of their biggest highlights has always been buildcrafting — putting together a harmonious, synergistic blend of equipment, character skills, and playstyle to conquer your foes with a high degree of efficiency. It’s a huge part of why I fell in love with recent titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Elden Ring, and it’s something developer BioWare wants to emphasize in the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard as well.

A significant number of fans excitedly await the upcoming release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, set for Halloween. However, if you’re not familiar with the series, it’s understandable given that BioWare and its publisher Electronic Arts haven’t introduced a new game in this franchise since 2014, when Dragon Age: Inquisition was released. Personally, I too wasn’t acquainted with the series until recently, having only started playing after attending a preview event for The Veilguard.
