The more we learn about Dragon Age 4, the more promising it becomes with the latest confirmation of a popular feature.
Many revelations followed the first official presentation of Dragon Age 4’s gameplay. On paper, each one of them continues to reassure fans of the license and of yesterday’s BioWare, which has had a long journey through the desert in recent years. But it was apparently better to return in the fall with this highly acclaimed RPG. Fans of customization will definitely find something to their liking.
A tailor-made experience, confirmed for Dragon Age 4
Whether it’s about creating your character or the level of difficulty, Dragon Age 4 promises to be particularly comprehensive and to offer everyone a tailor-made experience. This applies not only to the appearance of your avatar, but also to your outfit and that of your companions. This was confirmed by Corinne Busche, director of the game, in an interview with Game Informer. She hinted that BioWare’s next title will feature a “robust” transmog system.
As a reminder, this is a feature that allows you to give your equipment the look you want without changing its statistics. This allows you to wear armor that doesn’t match the rest of your outfit and give it the look you want. In addition to his avatar, this will also be possible for the seven characters that can make up our group. Although we cannot control them in combat, we can fully manage our companions, from their skills to their equipment and their appearance.
Finally the long-awaited comeback for BioWare?
After the bitter missteps of Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem, BioWare seems to have taken the time to offer a Dragon Age 4 that lives up to expectations. Even though it will be more interventionist than Inquisition, its sequel aims to be a complete single-player game with a rich story focused on our choices. The title, still published by Electronic Arts, also ignores controversial elements present in many modern games, such as microtransactions and the need to be connected to the Internet.
In some ways, such a commitment from BioWare is reminiscent of Larian Studios’ exemplary approach to its own games, including the brilliant Baldur’s Gate 3. Can we hope for a Dragon Age 4 that lives up to its claim of absolute GOTY 2023? Answer this fall on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
