Dragon Age: The Veilguard Nearly Brought Back Another Hero Alongside The Inquisitor
20.11.2024
Reading the official Dragon Age: The Veilguard art book is kind of maddening, honestly. I adored the fourth game in BioWare’s fantasy RPG franchise despite my many, many issues with the series going in but each time I look at the art book, which is full of concepts that didn’t make it into...
