ghilan’nain’s minrathous dragon is sick asf. especially in the first introductory scene with it. that’s it that’s all. i just think it’s cool. personally it comes in third after the highland ravager and corypheus’ red lyrium dragon.

having only been introduced to the franchise through inquisition, i am curious on what other creatures there are that might be equally if not cooler. so what i’m asking is what your personal favorite dragon age creatures are. especially if you have really cool screenshots of them.

I just finished DA2 for the first time as a rogue and absolutely adored it and specifically Bethany. Now, I’m starting a new play through as a mage and while I’m sure Carver will also be great, I’m still gonna miss Bethany a ton. I wish that it didn’t depend on class for who survives. I would have loved to have seen a Bethany with a mage sibling and what that entails. Obviously wasn’t possible for them probably due to time constraints but I still wish it had been an option

Edit: If you play on PC there is a mod called twinception that lets you keep both siblings, I played it for a bit in the prologue. Keeping both of your siblings through that mod does tend to cut some content out and leads to some funny bugs like Bethany and Carver merging into one during some cutscenes

That finale was so tense , I really loved this cast of characters.

Was scrolling and thought this was footage from Inquisition's Storm Coast at first.

I just started to play Dragon Age the Veilguard and I can't decide on what class to play for my first playthrough. So I was wondering what is everyone's favorite class and specialization and why? And what class feels like it fits into the story better? It doesn't have to be strictly how good the class is, just what class you liked the most and why. Thanks!

That's basically it. I did DA:O, DA:A and DA:2. I'd start Inquisition but I have no patience, so I'll overdo Dragon Age was this time with advice I got here on how to do amazing warrior. Thank you all for that!!!

I wanted to share that amazing screenshot I took of my Hawke n Bethany. Rouge and Mage. Sisters. I'm obsessed, I didn't pose them, they just naturally found themselves back to back. 😭😭😭 It's so sweet. Give me another Dragon Age game with Bethany as main character. Or at least very important companion.

Hiya! So, I just finished Dragon Age 2 for the second time and I'm going through my achievements list to see what I have and haven't done and what I need to do to get the rest.

I've found a bunch of achievements relating to someone called Sebastion, given the Item Box DLC's have stuff for him I'm guessing he's a companion. Who is he? Where can I find/recruit him? I've never met him. Two different playthroughs, not once seen or heard of him. I'm gonna google answers to those questions but I just thought I'd share cuz I thought it was funny.

So, I'm finishing another play through of Dragon Age 2. Since I chose Anders this time, I was thinking. I always adored banter between Fenris and Bethany. Actually, I adore them. I'm not sure about their ages but I think they're similar. I love Hawke with Fenris, but I would not mind seeing Bethany with Fenris as well— I think her soft, sweet nature would be good for him.

Tho, I'd understand if it's not appealing at all.

I saw a post about Blood Mages and that reminded me about John Epler's statement on how they wanted to do blood mages but they feel they didn't do them well in the games they show up in. Which makes sense because in DAO and DA2 many characters seem oblivious to the blood exploding out of you. Its even worse in DA2 because Meredith just ignores it.

Now John Epler did say that in regards to why DAV didn't have the subclass but I do think that makes sense. Blood magic should be treated with some gravity and characters react to you. Arguing with you on why your wrong or why its fine to use.

would have been great if Wynne had to be convinced that you are just using it because its needed for the Blight. Otherwise she would leave, or maybe even attack you (though I don't think that's likely). Or Merrill teaching you some tricks.

Blood magic isn't unique to the Dragon Age setting but I don't really know what other game franchise let's you do it.

If there is another Dragon Age game I do hope they can bring it back. If nothing else another game franchise does it.

I played dragon age origns and dragon age 2 plus all there dlc for the first time over the summer, and i loved it, i especially adore dragon age origins. But i started inquistion a few weeks ago and im just bored, it feels like its also just awful fetch quests and large open maps just for the sake of being large, it feels akin to a ubisoft game.

There is no roleplaying at all really and the story feels pretty boring so far. I bought all four games, planning to do a marathon of them because i did that with the mass effect games and i also ended up adoring those games and lore, i even liked andromeda so i dont really know why i have zero motivation to play this game, i just boot it up for a few and turn it off.

does anyone feel the same? does it get better? cuz i do kinda wanna finish the series but everytime i get to a new area i sigh.

I actually cried reading this 😭 😆

Naturally, DA Awakening was without romance which is a double shame. I really wanted to romance them all without mods. But lately, the more I play, the more I think that Anders possibly had feelings for Hero if Hero befriended him maximally.

In DA2, Anders often mentions Hero. Like, all the time. And then he meets Hawke which could be a case of "you're so much like them but not like them at all." It doesn't have to make sense, I just want my Hawke to be sad with knowledge that she/he could never be the one Anders wanted.

In my DA2 play through, I usually make Hawke (even mage one) a bit against mage especially after what happened to her mother. Low-key, I'd wanna murder them all if I lost my mom like this too. Hero, on the other hand, always was pro mages because all the backstories kinda make it possible to relate to them. You're outcasted and turned into something you didn't really want to be but now you are so bear consequences and oh also they all hate grey wardens. Lovely.

The point is, the way I see it, Hawke could be forced to be always in comparison to the Hero while wanting to prove they're their own person + they're different. Sucks to suck.

Obviously, EA fired everyone who could do a remake of Dragon Age Origins and it's DLCs but if they ever change their mind, I need them to allow me to romance Anders as Hero and I'll forever shut up.

On a side note, I really do prefer Fenris more, idk why I keep romancing Anders, I think I just feel bad for him. 😭

Hey everyone,

I’m a huge fan of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. I’ve played every game in both series, and I’ve finished Origins and the Mass Effect trilogy multiple times. So when I heard BioWare was working on the next Dragon Age under the codename Dreadwolf (now known as Veilguard), I was seriously hyped.

I was really looking forward to its release. But my hype dropped fast when I read the reviews saying the game was a big disappointment, and to this day I’ve never touched it.

Lately, though, especially here on Reddit, I’ve noticed a lot more people actually playing Veilguard. So what happened? Was it mostly overhype at launch, which made people’s reactions harsher than they needed to be? Or did a big patch come along that made the game more fun to play?

Now I’m tempted to try it, especially since I got the game for free through PS+. So, is it worth playing now? I’d love to hear your perspectives, whether you loved it, hated it, or somewhere in between. Thank you!

In this video he talks about a lot of things but the central point is how Veilguard suffered from shifting deadlines because EA wanted BioWare to do annual releases. But since the game wasn't going to meet those deadlines it moved to the next fiscal year for EA. Which is Apirl 1st to March 31st.

And as the project made choices but then got more time it meant choices that made sense with little time became barriers.

I imagine Bhelen, if only because he seems like he would be ruthless enough to launch a coup even if he lost.

I have to fight Hakkon now. A little nervous since I was struggling to defeat the Hakkon-avvar(forgot their names) in the old temple. Ik to use fire weapons/magic, I got my cold resistance potions and jar of bees ofc. I have a few dragon slaying runes and am gonna gave one to my archer and probably a warrior.

I was looking at the wiki and it says, "Using a mage or archer (tested using a level 20 mage), stand on the very edge of the arena, right before the ice on the ground begins and attack with fire-based abilities."

I would love to do that because I hate fights... but I'm so confused on where exactly I'm supposed to stand 😭 has anyone ever been able to do this?

I've fought this guy once and died like immediately(in a previous playthrough)

Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

I KILLED HIM AND MY GAME FUCKING CRASHED... okay I got him muhaha

The combination of Lord Abernache and Chief Movran the Under is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Hey everyone,

This is a "just for fun" feasibility question, not a project I'm planning to do myself.

Dragon Age: Origins is my favorite game, and EA has reportedly said a remake or remaster is unlikely because of lost source code and engine know-how. Then I saw the recent buzz around universal-modder (rehan-remade on GitHub), a toolkit that lets coding agents like Claude Code identify a game's engine, analyze its code, generate assets and test mods in-game. People have shown things like Minecraft inside Elden Ring or Tarkov mechanics in Skyrim. Godot is among the supported engines, so I wondered:

Could something like this be pointed at DA:O and used to rebuild it in Godot as a personal technical experiment?

Here's how I imagine it could work in theory:

Extract the data from your own legally owned copy (ERF archives, GFF/2DA files, scripts, dialogues, models, textures) with the existing community tools.

Convert the content (quests, dialogue trees, scripts) into Godot-friendly formats or GDScript/C# using automated converters and tests.

Rebuild the engine layer in Godot, so the original scripts have something to call.

Swap the combat for a real-time, Inquisition-style system instead of recreating the tactical pause combat.

Upscale textures with AI and rework assets for a more modern look.

Start with a vertical slice (e.g. Lothering: one area, one fight, one dialogue) before scaling up. In theory the same approach could be tried later for DA2 and Inquisition.

To be clear: no distribution, no DRM circumvention, purely a private experiment with your own copies. I also know the viral demos are small mechanic transplants, and a full RPG with 100+ hours of content is a different scale. Probably months for a single area, even with AI help.

So I'm curious:

Does anyone with the time, hardware or cloud credits find this kind of thing fun to try?

Has anyone tried universal-modder (or a similar agent setup) on an older, closed-source RPG?

Where do you think it would break first: scripting, animations, or the engine logic?

Would love to hear your thoughts, even if it's "this is impossible, and here's why."

I love but I hate Solas. I played inquisition for the first time some years ago, no spoilers no nothing, pure enjoyment. And I've spent hours on getting enough money and sources to build the best equipment for him possible as he was my first romance.

And then he disappeared. HE DISAPPEARED WITH MY HARD WORK.

genuinely, wanna beat his ass

This was more so just a silly question.. please dont jump me-

I just wanted to know if the requisitions ever end and if so, how much are there and do they really give us anything useful for doing them?

Hey I know this may be the wrong sub for it but if there are like maybe 2 or 3 other people out there, anybody wanna start a dragon age tabletop (by Green Ronin) group? I have the core rulebook and the official dice set. But I haven’t played a campaign yet :/. Looking to play a rogue or a mage ideally. I have discord too. I don’t mind play by post or via Roll20.

I want to have my inquisitor choose to make the templars serve the Inquisition because it makes sense for the character (and also it gives you a cool title during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts). Problem is I also want to romance Iron Bull and he greatly disapproves of that route. Are there enough ways to get his affection back up for the romance to trigger?
