The videos showcasing the picturesque spots of Dragon Age: Veilguard present regions of Thedas that fans might have heard about but never seen.
Arlathan Forest — ancient magic and powerful artifacts are awakening once more, and reality is warping in the woods that were once the heart of the Elven Empire. The Veil Jumpers, masters of ancient elven magic, are striving to stabilize the region and protect reality from destruction.
Hossberg Marshlands — much of this once-peaceful marsh has been devastated by the Blight. Darkspawn roam through the marshlands with impunity, but the Grey Wardens bravely defend the last safe haven — Lavendel.
Minrathous — the capital of the Tevinter Empire. The Venatori are corrupting the heart of the Empire, trying to bend it to their own dark purposes. However, the people resist, with the Shadow Dragons leading the fight.
Rivain — the ancient fortress of the Grey Wardens stands among the shimmering waters and lush greenery of the Rivain Coast. The Masters of Fate call this paradise home. However, the servants of the gods have their own plans, threatening to turn this sanctuary into a battlefield.
Treviso — a trade city known for the beauty of its canals and the deadliness of its assassins. Treviso is under the occupation of Antaam, which spells trouble for the Crows of Antiva.
Additionally, BioWare shared details about some gameplay features related to these locations. The Beacon serves as a place where players can rest, spend time with companions, and learn more about the world through conversation. Roads allow players to cover distances in Thedas in mere seconds, connecting the Beacon to most parts of the world.
“While exploring the world, the Veil Warden will encounter many things and people to converse with. There will, of course, be components for upgrading your gear, puzzles to solve, and new knowledge to gain! Abandoned ancient statues, letters, and artifacts await for you to read and collect Codex entries. Throughout the world, there are also new methods of traversal, including fast travel.”
Companions will also have their own new ways to interact with the world and exploration capabilities. For example, you can leave Bellara to investigate ancient elven artifacts while the group wanders through Arlathan. Even when companions return to the Beacon, players can use the Lyrium Dagger to tap into their exploration abilities. Companions will also engage with the world on their own.
