Dragon Age: The Veilguard is quite different from Dragon Age: Origins. While Origins had a dark, serious tone with tough choices and harsh outcomes, Veilguard takes a much lighter and more friendly approach. The story still has fantasy elements and conflict but skips the complicated moral dilemmas and deep darkness that were a big part of Origins. Additionally, interactions between characters, especially companions, don’t have the same depth or potential for serious conflict as in the original game.
