Whether you’re a newcomer to the realms of Thedas, or you’ve seduced your way through the entire Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an excellent introduction to Bioware’s fantasy RPG world. Right now, you can pick up a copy for either PlayStation or Xbox on Amazon or Best Buy for just $39.99 (was $69.99).
The entirety of the Dragon Age franchise is frankly amazing, but The Veilguard is by far the most accessible to newcomers, thanks to its streamlined progression and engaging combat systems. However, if you’re just here for the story, there are plenty of sliders that allow you to take the difficulty down a peg. Even if you know nothing about how Bioware’s fantasy world works, The Veilguard does a spectacular job of teaching you about the various places, factions and events to get you up to speed.
