Dragon Age: The Veilguard Companions Are More Realized Because You Can’t Control Them, Says BioWare

During Kai's trip to San Francisco to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard, he was able to secure an exclusive interview with BioWare's Francois Chaput (Missions and Level Design Director) and Matt Rhodes (Art Director).

Built upon the narrative started nearly two decades ago and touched on as recently as Dragon Age: Inquisition’s DLC, Dragon Age: The […]
