Dragon Age has always emphasised choice. You make countless decisions throughout each playthrough that alter your standing with different characters and ultimately shape the world itself, and these choices — even the most miniscule — bleed into the sequels with little references and nods to the hero of old and their adventures.

The Warden and Hawke's stories dictate what Thedas looks like by the time of Inquisition, and it's this attention to detail that has cemented Dragon Age as such a rich, in-depth RPG series.
But The Veilguard is dropping world states altogether, only allowing you to make three choices: who the Inquisitor romanced, whether the Inquisition was disbanded, and if the Inquisitor said they would stop Solas or save him. It's a major shift, one that players aren't too happy about, but the big question is how this will impact key characters and cameos who we know are appearing in the game, like Morrigan.
