The Dragon Age: The Veilguard romance system raises some questions about the direction of the series.
After years of silence, concerning reports about the tempestuous state of BioWare, Dragon Age: The Veilguard , the rebranding of the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, was unveiled via its first proper trailer. Where previous teaser trailers, fluffy tone pieces, left fans buried in speculation, this new trailer -- the 'Official Reveal Trailer' -- gave everyone an actual taste of the final product coming later this year. And for many, it was a sour taste.
To let players romance every companion, regardless of gender, Larian Studios implemented a"Playersexual" system with BG3. In this system, every companion is attracted to the player character, without regard for gender, race, or anything else. Essentially, every character is pansexual, however, this sexuality is not particularly realized outside of player-character interaction.
"Nothing wrong with either desire, honestly. It all depends on what you want out of your game. We're not all here for the same reasons, OK?" Gaider said."The only unfortunate aspect, in my experience, is that these two approaches are more or less diametrically opposed, from a design standpoint. The Dragon Age writers realized, eventually, that as soon as you make a character romanceable it limits the type of character they can be and the types of stories they can tell.
For example, take Oghren from Dragon Age: Origins. Oghren is one of the least popular characters in the series who sticks out in a cast of largely very appealing characters. He isn't drop dead gorgeous like many of his counterparts in the game, he's often crude or reveling in fart jokes, he's a deadbeat, and many other unsavory things that put him near the bottom of almost every Dragon Age character tier list. He sticks out like a sore thumb in a cast of fan-favorites.
