Key Takeaways
-
Dragon Age fans wish the Veilguard had more conflict between their companions.
-
Dragon Age 2 was cited as an example of a game that did this right, and our group often found themselves bickering among themselves.
-
All members of The Veilguard seem to be much more level-headed, with little ideological differences between party members.
Dragon Age: Veilguard is generally well-received by fans, but there's one complaint that's been popping up a lot online. The co-workers are so… kind. In fact, the group's dynamic may be too cozy for some, as there doesn't seem to be much conflict within the Veilguard moniker.
It's enough to make fans reminisce about their teammates from previous games. reallyWe couldn't hang out with each other most of the time. In particular, the Dragon Age 2 lot is being praised for how messy everyone is, as there were a lot of walking disasters that couldn't last five minutes without a fight.
Dragon Age fans miss the days when their companions were dirty and mean
As fans praised Dragon Age 2's companions clashing with each other, it was inevitable that its absence from Veilguard would be mentioned.
Reddit user Infiniteglass00 says, “This represents my biggest problem with Veilguard: Everyone is very nice and friendly right off the bat, and there are no big ideological clashes or bickering.” “All the best companion/character relationships and arcs in DA games start with conflict and conflict, then experience growth. Sometimes they still don't get along, but they work together. DA2 and DAI have so many of these features.”
Others agree that this is a problem in play so far. beachpellini said, “I'm constantly being stupid to Harding and she keeps giving me the green light.” “The competitive/friendship system was one of the best aspects of DA2. It's too bad they never used it again.”
Sgrocker agrees: “Yes, everyone is putting too much emotional charge on Veilguard. Sometimes you need to be brawling and reckless.”

Dragon Age: Veilguard has always been divisive
BioWare's first single-player RPG in years was going to land somewhere in the middle.
Dragon Age: Origins is also getting some love, with FlakyRazzmatazz5 writing, “Dragon Age's companion bickering is at its peak with Alistair and Morrigan.”
Of course, many of us are still very early in the game. Perhaps there will be some conflict later on, but for now, Veilgard seems to have the most capable group of allies yet.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the long-awaited fourth game in BioWare's fantasy RPG series, previously known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. A direct sequel to Inquisition, the game focuses on the aforementioned direwolves Red Lyrium and Solas.
