Summary

One of the coolest things aboutDragon Age: Originsis its titular origins. These let you live out part of your character’s life before the events of the main game kick off, and with six to choose from, it adds a whole lot of replay value.

Now, witha version of originsreturning inDragon Age: The Veilguard, fans reallyreallywant them to be playable again. We already know that there will be, once again, six different backgrounds to choose from, but fans are hoping that we get to immerse ourselves in them fully, rather than start at the same point regardless of who we play as.

Dragon Age Fans Share Their Dream Features For The Veilguard

In the replies to this thread, one of the most popular suggestions comes from Reddit user Jereboy216, and calls for the return of playable origins. This would be exciting, especially since the new background options are incredibly varied and could give us a chance to get close to one of the factions before we start the main story. The options available to us will be:

We already know that these factions will determine how we met Varric and got involved with The Veilguard in the first place, but who knows? Maybe we’ll get to play out a unique mission thatshowsus how we ran into each other. In any case, it sounds like that’s what fans are after.

Other popular suggestions for features in The Veilguard include the ability to customise our base of operations, the Lighthouse. We can safely expect this to return since we had (albeit limited) options to customise Skyhold inDragon Age: Inquisition.

However, fans also have some gameplay suggestions. From dual-wielding warriors to spirit healers and even shapeshifters, there are plenty of builds that players want to see return in The Veilguard. Honestly, it would be a relief if the mages of Thedas remembered how to heal again after forgetting how to in Inquisition.
