BioWare and Electronic Arts have released as new trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition, highlighting the very pretty fantasy world of Thedas that you will romp through as you attempt to save it from destruction. And dragons. Don’t forget the dragons.

The trailer focuses on the realm in all its open-world glory. There are streams, wildlife, spectral green beams of light piercing the sky… You know, the things you’d expect to see in nature. Beyond that there isn’t much to take away from the clip, other than the world is very pretty. It’s also worth noting the weather effects, including the fog rolling in and snowflakes falling. They won’t affect gameplay, but they do look neat.

BioWare is known for its character customization options, so the fact that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have some isn't noteworthy. However, the extent of those options is staggering, to the point where players can customize a lot of their experience.

In a series of interviews published in Game Informer this week, game director Corinne Busche delved into a ton of the customization options, from the difficulty and gameplay to character gear.

I saw the first hour of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and it was action-packed

I got a look at the first hour of Dragon Age: The Veilguard at Summer Game Fest Play Days this year. The long-awaited fourth entry in BioWare's fantasy RPG series still retains the interesting dialogue options and tactical use of fantasy abilities that are at the series' core, but definitely leans into the action game elements more than even Dragon Age: Inquisition did.

Although its reveal trailer was a bit underwhelming to me, seeing the first hour of Dragon Age: The Veilguard gave me a vote of confidence that this is the return to form BioWare desperately needs.
The journey begins
Dragon Age: The Veilguard kicks off with an artful cinematic where Varric gives the backstory of Solas, an elven god who is now looking to destroy the Veil that hampers the abilities of the elven race, even if that comes at the cost of unleashing world-ending destruction upon Thedas. After that, players can start the game and enter its immensely detailed character creator. Game Director Corinne Busche, who narrated what we were seeing as another developer played through the first hour of the game, explained that a core tenet of the game is "be who you want to be."
