I\u2019ve seen the game being compared unfavorablely to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 which put up an all-time peak of 875,343 players, but that was a largely PC-focused release, and few dispute it\u2019s one of the best RPGs of all time. Even if it\u2019s well-liked, few would claim that about Veilguard.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/paultassi\/2024\/10\/31\/ten-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-dragon-age-the-veilguard\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"10 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started \u2018Dragon Age: The Veilguard\u2019\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/paultassi\/2024\/10\/31\/ten-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-dragon-age-the-veilguard\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">10 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started \u2018Dragon Age: The Veilguard\u2019<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Paul Tassi<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/67238a4b9014ae6857f965c3\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=313&amp;cropX2=3683&amp;cropY1=0&amp;cropY2=1787);\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Console numbers are of course less trackable, but it was the #1 pre-ordered game on PS5 ahead of launch, and currently it sits at #5 on the most-played chart, the only single player game on the list.

General sentiment on social media also seems positive, with negativity almost entirely centered on one particular plotline involving a non-binary character, now being used as a culture war cudgel. But among most fans and new players, the vibes are good.<\/p>\n<p>Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a hugely important title for BioWare, not just a return to the series after a decade on ice, but also an attempt to get past the negativity surrounding its last two major releases, Mass Effect Andromeda and the cautionary tale Anthem. No, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has not rocketed BioWare fully back to its glory days, but it does feel like it will be considered a win heading into BioWare\u2019s <em>next<\/em> big test, a return to the Mass Effect universe.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we don\u2019t know what EA\u2019s \u201cexpectations\u201d were for the game, nor do we have official sales numbers from the company yet. After years and years of development, several apparent reworks and no doubt a huge budget, it must get past the AAA problem of big sales sometimes leading to slim profits depending on its ultimate cost. Still, this does feel like something EA will probably want to brag about in some form or another, reinforcing that BioWare is still a solid producer for the company after a decade of pretty fraught times. We\u2019ll see how things progress from here.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow me <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"
