WARNING: This list contains spoilers related to the story of Dragon Age: Veilguard. It specifically discusses the aftermath of saving Minrathous and the differences between them.Dragon Age: VeilguardLike many other RPGs in the franchise, it forces players to make important decisions. However, unlike other games in the franchise, Dragon Age: Veilguard Instead of bringing about changes in the future, these decisions are among the first important decisions you make within the current game.

One of these important choices is saving Minrathous or Treviso from an attack by the Blighted Dragon. Cities that players do not help end up being more or less destroyed, and most players choose to save Treviso over Minrathous.

8 Both factions remain

The crow was attacked but did not leave.

If they decide to save Treviso, the player returns to Minrathous to find that the Shadow Dragons' lair has been completely ransacked, with most of the Shadow Dragons killed and the rest in hiding.

If the player instead decides to save the Minrathous, the Shadow Dragons will no longer be attacked by the Venatori, and by some miracle most of the Antivan Crows will survive as well. Although there are still some losses to the Crows, players can still return to Candori Diamond and see many members of the Crows there.

7 Cameo characters don't disappear

Dorian and Mavaris play important roles.

As the story progresses Dragon Age: VeilguardPlayers will be reintroduced to a former companion character, the Tevinter Mage, Dorian Pavus. Dragon Age: Inquisition. The player also dragon age comics.

However, if the player chooses to save Treviso, this will be the last time they see one of these characters until the end of the game. Instead, if Rook saves the Minrathous, Dorian and Maevaris will not only remain in the Shadow Dragon's lair, but will also play important roles in quest lines around the Minrathous that players cannot otherwise obtain.

6 Players can spend more time with Neve

Neve's romance is much easier if not reinforced.

Unlike Lucanis, who becomes impossible to romance if the player decides to save Minrathous, Neve can still be romanced even if Minrathous is defeated. However, if the player decides to save Minrathous and take her side, getting to know Neve and defeating her becomes much easier.

Players will have more opportunities to flirt with Neve. Neve will leave Veilguard for a short time, so siding with the Antivan Crows will be impossible. Even if players don't want to romance Neve, they can still see her as an inspiration as she becomes a close friend.

5 Leaving Minrathous makes political sense

Vanatori cannot own an entire city.

If the player does not save Minrathous, they will eventually be left to Venatori to take over. Hoping to return Tevinter to its former glory of slavery and domination, this cult is not a group capable of controlling an entire city, and simply allowing them to set foot in its doors would have been the Minrathous City if the events of the game had played out differently. This is the beginning of control.

To completely avoid this, players should save the Minrathous so the Venatori don't even have a chance to take over the entire city. Especially if the player can remember dealing with Venatori in the franchise's past.

4 New exciting quests

Players learn about Tevinter history and more.

As previously mentioned, Dorian and Maevaris play important roles later in the quest line involving the Minrathous once the city is saved. If the player chooses to save Treviso, these quests will not be accessible. This quest will be of interest to any fan of the franchise who has been looking forward to a visit to Tevinter, as it allows players to interact more deeply with the city and make interesting decisions.

Players engage in a quest that allows them to choose between Dorian and Maevaris as Archon of Minrathous. Both men offer valid opinions as to why they should be consuls. If the player chooses Treviso instead, Dorian automatically becomes a consul. But this doesn't happen on screen. This is just one of the quests that is changing.

3 Players will not lose important Neve abilities

She has the best healing power in Veilguard.

One of the key differences between saving Minrathous and Treviso is allies that players don't mind being strengthened. Any comrades from unsaved cities will join your team with a reinforced status that will remain for the rest of the game.

When enhanced, this character can no longer use abilities that assist the player, such as healing, but attack abilities deal more damage. Neve has one of the best healing abilities. veil guard So players may want to save Minrathous so they can still use healing, while Lucanis has a much better advantage with a buff to damage.

2 Treviso appears more visually destroyed.

I feel a much more significant difference

On the face of it, allowing the Venatori to take over Minlatus isn't much different from normal. Players may find the occasional lynching by Shadow Dragon or Vanatori guards instead of the usual Minrathous guards, but the overall atmosphere of the Minrathous does not differ much.

Meanwhile, during my first visit to Treviso since allowing its destruction, it is difficult to ignore the destruction that has occurred in the city. Treviso has been completely taken over by the Catastrophe, its tendrils of corruption rising from its canals. Players who want the most unsettling situations should allow this to happen.

1 Shadow Dragon Rooks has a deeper connection.

Shadow Dragon must hold his own

Players who select the Shadow Dragon faction at the start of the game Dragon Age: Veilguard You might want to choose Minrathous as the city to save anyway. But to take things further in this direction, players will discover even more unique lines of dialogue as they play as the Shadow Dragon, taking on a variety of Shadow Dragon-based quests.

Players may miss out on this content if they choose to save Treviso instead. There's an interesting angle where the Shadow Dragon takes down his own faction, but this could also be an interesting storyline, so players could do this by playing as Antivan Crow rescuing the Minrathous.
