Summary
Update 03/11:A previous version of this report incorrectly stated that no previous Dragon Age games had character limits. This has since been amended.
Dragon Age: The Veilguardonly lets you have three characters, or Rooks, at a time. To create more on the same login, you’ll have to delete an entire playthrough.
We’ve only been able to test this onPS5, so it remains to be seen if this is an issue on PC. However, on the platform that our Editor-in-Chief Stacey Henleyreviewed Dragon Age: The Veilguard on, it was spotted that players are limited to 100 save slots per playthrough and three Rooks.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has 100 Save Slots Per Character, But Only Lets You Make Three Rooks At Once
A Dragon Age game has never made the character limit so low before, but save slot limits are nothing new.Dragon Age: Originslimited you to eight characters, but this was at least enough for all of the six origins.Dragon Age: Inquisitionlimited you to 50 save files on console and 250 on PC.
One solution for The Veilguard is to just delete a character once you’re done with them, but for many of us, that would just sting too much. If you don’t have the heart to take one of your Rooks out back, you can instead make another login on your console, which would give you three more character slots.
Whether or not this turns out to be an issue on PC, it’s very bizarre to see this in the console release. The character creator lets you choose between six backgrounds, after all, and now we know we can’t make Rooks for all of them without some compromises.
In better news,The Veilguard was just met with mostly positive reviews. It’s sitting at an 84 on Metacritic right now, and it got a 4/5 in our review. On the whole, it seems that this is a much-needed return to form for BioWare after misses like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to launch on October 31. It is going to be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
