I won’t say it’s worth 10 years of anticipation, but “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” is still a solid and content-rich experience overall.

The Butcher of Treviso is present mostly in name for a good deal of Veilguard 's story, even during some important Treviso specific quests. It would have been very easy to make a grim, stoic Qunari warlord, the likes of which have been seen many times over in the game.

It is an engrossing one, though. Solas, the companion turned mad god in Dragon Age: Inquisition, wants to destroy the Veil separating your relatively safe world from the unbridled, demon-filled terror of the Fade. And since he’s the Elven god of betrayal, you can’t be too shocked about it.
