Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Sex Scenes, Ranked From Worst To Best
12.11.2024
A new BioWare game is out, which means that love is in the air. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has seven companions, and you can romance any one of them. This all culminates in a romantic scene between protagonist Rook and their paramour, and they’re…mostly fine. I was initially caught a bit off-guard...

‘You Already Have Everything You Need’

It’s a rough Wednesday, but you probably don’t need me to tell you that. If, somehow, you’re learning this through Kotaku and not anywhere else, convicted felon Donald J. Trump is projected to win the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris. As a queer person in America, it’s...
This Bug Nearly Ruined Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Excellent Finale For Me
4.11.2024
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is probably BioWare’s most polished game. The RPG looks great, runs exceptionally well, and I had a pretty good, mostly bugless experience in my first playthrough.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Companions, Ranked From Good To Best
4.11.2024
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s party is probably the best BioWare has introduced in the series since it began in 2009. It’s the smallest group, with only seven members filling the titular team, but each of them acts as a window into the rich world of Thedas. They build compelling friendships with...

28.10.2024
Today, October 28, reviews went live for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I reviewed it here at Kotaku, and despite being jaded toward the series for the better part of a decade, I really loved the long-awaited fourth entry. Right now it sits at a strong 84 on review aggregate site Metacritic, which...
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, This Dialogue Option Lets You Declare Your Character Is Trans
28.10.2024
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s character creator is easily the most expansive that developer BioWare has ever put in one of its RPGs, with its most notable additions this time around including options to select your character’s gender and pronouns independent of any aspects of their body, and...
Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review
28.10.2024
I admit, I’d grown cynical. Dragon Age has a well-established penchant for swapping out protagonists with each new game, and for treating one entry’s be-all, end-all conflicts as little more than narrative springboards that can largely be cast aside in the next. However, with 2014’s Inquisition,...

When you boot up BioWare’s long-awaited RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard on October 31 and create your custom character, you’ll be asked what Faction your protagonist Rook came from before the game starts. As you’ll notice as you recruit new teammates throughout your journey, each of these Factions...
Seven Hours With Dragon Age: The Veilguard: Has BioWare Learned The Right Lessons?
19.9.2024
I have been waiting for Dragon Age: The Veilguard for 10 years. The last game developer BioWare put out was 2019’s Anthem, an ill-fated loot shooter that chased live-service trends and felt like a misuse of the team’s talents. In the years since, there have been reports and admissions from...
14 Things We Noticed In Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Combat Showcase
24.8.2024
BioWare put out a 10-minute showcase video breaking down Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s action-based combat. Most of what we’ve seen of the RPG thus far has been in the early game, so we still didn’t have a strong grasp of what high-level encounters look like. There have been a lot of questions...

Alien: Romulus: The Kotaku Review
18.8.2024
Good or bad taste is difficult to define, but easy to point out, and Alien: Romulus, from Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez (who famously delivered a fantastic Evil Dead flick over a decade ago), offers a bizarre mix of both. It’s clear that Álvarez wants to hearken back to the analog, tactile sci-fi...
