I have been in my feelings about Dragon Age since the re-reveal of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I mostly consider myself a lapsed fan of BioWare’s fantasy series, but Inquisition still remains an all-time favorite. It has my favorite cast of the series, a story people often forget might be BioWare’s best because it’s buried under open-world nonsense, and its Trespasser DLC is in the running for the best add-on in all of video games. But despite all of that, Inquisition is probably my least replayed BioWare game from the past 20 years.

The Veilguard is building off that game’s final moments, to the point where I can’t in good conscience recommend you play the new game without going back and playing Inquisition at least once. But maybe it’s time for my fourth playthrough. I miss my Tevinter husband. I miss watching the world of Thedas change before my eyes. And a refresher might do me some good before I finally get to stop Solas from doing war crimes and shit when The Veilguard launches. — Kenneth Shepard
