How will the decisions made in dragon age inquisition affect dragon age the veilguard?

[wremple]

Dear developer, do I need to go through dragon age inquisition before The Veil guard is released? Will the decisions I have made affect the sequel?

Since there'll be no import of any kind, you'll be able to chose your world state with tarot cards and certain decisions during or before character creation.

Not a fan myself of that specific change but we'll have to see what it looks like exactly. Unless it was already leaked or something.

Ah yes, because I love replacing 15 years of my entire legacy with trading cards... /s

I'd rather have my save files carry over, you know all that hard work that means something? Something Bioware used to do in all their older games...

I mean, those things can be easily edited via DA Keep but it seems like they're not planning on using it going forward, which might effect ME4 as well via ME Archives.

All in all, I guess it's because they want to bring in a newer audience and not everyone will be willing to play the older games due to a variety of reasons. Inqusition was the same way from what I remember, using DA Keep rather than save files.

It's an odd decision regardless, aye.

yeah bud? what other BioWare game has you loading in a save file from a 15 year old game?

Dragon Age 1 to 2, all 3 original Mass Effects...

i hope the logistics of transferring a save file between a game that came out a year between each other and 15 years isn't lost on you.

If this were 2017, I'd agree with you.

But now, DA:I is 10+ years old -- that's multiple console platform cycles ago -- and the devs stated they wanted to do everything in-engine instead of the DA Keep.

I kind of get that call.

Also: this game appears to be smaller scale and we won't be Thedas-hopping back to many old haunts like Ferelden, Orlais, etc. So if we're largely going to new places with a new crew, the Mass Effect 'let's follow that dude at the starport who idolizes me' will probably not come up that often.
