Dragon Age: Veilguard: We Need Answers!

Dragon Age has such fascinating lore. I've never been intrigued by such a world since Tolkien.

Fascinating. Dragon Age has such compelling lore and you described the possible history and current situation very well. There is so much going on with the 4 races and their back stories that I am eager to see how it comes together. I agree that the dwarves in Dragon Age are very well done and have a story as rich as any in fantasy. This game could be really good. Let's hope the writers have tapped into the lore and deliver a great experience.

I hope that the old gods arent just the evanuris or their pets. It just seems like the most boring answer. That mystery is just the elves.

Great video! Fingers crossed we'll learn more about the blight. Also, I secretly hope that the Chantry has little truth about what they preach

I was so mad when tevinter nights established that solas can kill dwarves in their sleep... i felt like that should be at least one area where they have the advantage

The dwarves are also number 1 for me. I need to know the truth about them!

might just be me, but i really wanted to play as the inquisitor again. my first dragon age was inquisition so it has a special place in my heart.

Exactly what I wanted to know!

I want to know the origin of humanity. we know the origin of the elves(spirit) dwarves (titan), qunari atlest we know that their blood are not theirs (dragon ?) but for humans we know nothing. i want to know...

Thank you for the lore video, reminded me of many things I forgot. But I would never want to put too much stock in established lore. BioWare even when it was just starting it’s downfall, could barely keep the lore straight and not retcon it over and over. So I have currently 0 faith in the team, who has only giving me Anthem as the last game in almost a decade.

If your Inquisitor drank from the Wellspring Of Sorrows. You now belong to Solas ☝️

Considering the biggest loredump for DA:I happened in the last DLC I don't expect the next mainline entry to resolve alot. It will mostly revolve around Solas with a few sidebits here and there imo.

I really gotta say this: temper your expectations, like massively, this isn't the bioware from 20 years ago, if anything the story will be a half baked won't doesn't reveal anything, retcons a bunch and solve nothing but keep the status quo in play. I feel like nothing justifies current Bioware even being capable of writing a coherent story let alone a good one...

I was in love with Dragon Age lore for 15 years, but after what was shown in the gameplay reveal — and taking into account the latest works of BioWare, including the Inquisition — I have no faith in the team anymore. What I saw was extremely cliché plot, dull dialogues without a meaningful choice, disappointing time jump that took away all the urgency I felt in the Trespasser, and lore that gets retconned far too often. If I look at the mediocrity of the part of the game that should have hooked me in, and they are proud to present it as the introduction to their game, what hope there is for the rest of the work? The Veilguard seems to be aimed at characters as a dating simulator at this point, rather than the focus on the lore and making it somewhat original and appealing as it once was. Let's take a look at Corypheus as a villain, or resolution of the Mage/Templar war... and that was the main setting of the Inquisition. I would be happy to be proven wrong, and that my doubts are unfounded. However, after what they showed in the last decade, I don't trust the team, no matter how much they try to sugarcoat everything.

Before they were gods the Evanuris fought a group of renegade elven leaders, the forgotten ones, who became known as very powerful demons that occasionally interacts with mortals. Blood magic came into being after one of them taught mages. I believe after millenia of imprisonment the Evanuris became something like the forgotten ones, but more locked up. In fact, I believe Solas is willing to work with the forgotten ones to stop the escaping Evanuris, which is what he meant by his "plan" at the end of Trespasser dlc.

Solas is Thedas Thanos except he might be trying to kill entire races instead of just murdering 50%.

The lore revelations are only thing I'm interested in at this point and though I doubt we'll get all the answers I think the origin of the blight and the maker will definitely be revealed in this game, As for the dwarves I think Titans were the medium through which dwarves were connected to the fade as we know lyrium is the blood of the Titans and its magical and all magic stems from the fade but once the titans abandoned the dwarves they lost their connection to the fade and thus magic, The reason as to why they abandoned them I think is the creation of the veil made them lose a lot of their power to the point that they could no longer control all the dwarves and thus retreated to the depths of the deep roads to stay hidden from the world.

I've got one question. A question that demands a lot of answers. A question that's been glued to my mind since I got into this franchise. A question that the developers hasn't answered yet. I have to ask.....How old are all of the characters in all 4 Dragon Age Games? And that includes the Warden, Hawke, the Inquisitor and Rook.

The Qunari are the first experiments ☝️ Then next came the Wardens

I actually prefer lack of answers in lore in general to me it makes the universe feel more real like how we ourselves don’t have a lot of answers for things IRL
